Does that go away after getting rid of the mercury?

I have lupus too I think (my dr just told me last

time, and I think I understood it right but not sure)

How much " better " is possible to get with this

correctly done chelation? I am going to the dr

thursday, so just however long it takes to get the

DMSA then I will be starting it.

I just really hope it helps. Sometimes it seems like

so many different things I've tried don't really help,

or just help a little. Like when I started taking

cortef, it seemed like a huge difference (compared to

how I was before it) but then when comparing myself to

" healthy " people, I have so far to go. Also, I was

really excited about finiding about the mercury,

because I thought - here's something that can actually

be fixed and have some hope to get better (I thought I

just had to live with all of this stuff and not be

able to do anything about it.) Someone asked me - why

are you making such a big deal of it. Your mercury is

only in " elevated " not " high elevated " so they didn't

think it was that big of a deal. (I guess they don't

really know that much about it...or maybe just trying

to dismiss it so as to not scare themselves.) I was

trying to research treatments, find the best ones, etc

(I am so glad I did, because otherwise I think my dr

would have talked me into a DMSA challenge IV - I told

him no way after reading the info on it.) I don't

understand people saying - oh don't worry about it,

maybe just wait and see what happens, it is not like

it is toxic or an emergency! They said that probabably

90% of people have elevated mercury levels so I should

jsut stop worrying about it ?!

So I was just hopeing for some

encouragement/reassurance that I'm doing the right

thing here, and that there is some hope to getting

better - especially with the " brain fog " /cognitive

type of symptoms. Those are SO tough for me because

they interfere with almost everyhting I am trying to

do. I even wouldn't mind as much if some of the pain

and fatigue didn't go away completely if I could just

THINK CLEARLY and not have all the cognitive type

problems(I don't know a better name for it)!!!

Also what should I expect when starting DMSA?
