TK--- Why ? I am taking an exam for work that is from 8am to noon. It is VERY important (my job depends on it) and it is very closely superviesed (you aren't allowed anything in the room). They said that watches with alarms are prohibited. Also, even if I could somehow sneak it in (like just put the pill in my pocket) - I would have a full hour where I'm having to check my watch constantly, there is no way I " m going to be able to pass the exam doing that. If I take it right at 8am, it would be no problem at all, right before the test starts. Also, I really don't want to have to stop chelation for 2 weeks just because of this one day! I was really hoping the day this test was over, to actually INCREASE the dose to 10mgs of DMPS the first dose after the test is over! I really don't want to have to stop the continuous chelation just because of this, but was wondering if there is any way I can somehow change the dose times the day or two before and end up taking this dose at 7am instead? And then somehow get back onto my original schedule? I have no idea how I would do that....or if its even possible.... TK--- Take it at 9, adjusting the time schedule back and forth is going to be very difficult for you and I would suggest taking it at 9 or 9:30 and just continuing as normal or stopping the round. 9:30 isn't going to be any easier...actually worse as then I'd have to waste an hour and a half checking my watch.... I didn't even realize when I wrote this that DAYLIGHT SAVINGS time was going to occurr. I really have no idea what to do about this, and am really upset about it as it totally messes up my schedule. I guess I will have to keep my clocks on the old time (which will mean that my doses will now be at 4am, 10am, 4pm and 10pm I think -- I don't understand which way the clocks change....) That is going to be just a really tough schedule for me, each dose is at a very inconvenient time! Any ideas as far as what to do about this? This is going to make it even WORSE as far as the schedule goes the day of that test, having to take it at 10am.... Is there any way I can adjust the doses to get back on my 3/9/3/9 schedule other than just quitting chelation for a while? If not how long do I have to stop chelation for? I am really upset about this because I was just starting to feel good. The only thing I can think of is quit chelation, wait two weeks, and start taking it at 2am, 8am, 2pm, 8pm.....jus so then I could be on a better schedule the day of the test. Is there ANY alternative to getting on that schdudlue other than quitting chelation for a while? > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Is there ANY alternative to getting on that schdudlue other than quitting chelation for a while? TK--- My suggestion - Take a very small bottle of water and one pill in when you go to test and take it at 9am as usual. They can not stop you from taking necessary medication. Discuss it with them before hand. Or stop chelation for that week. > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
