THROW IN THE TOWEL ?

[Guest guest]

As one well into the second decade with FM, and been on one year DMSA

single 100 mg. prior every 5 days plus cilantro and also dosage of ALA

(about two years ago) for another claimed benefit (repair preipherial

neuropothy)and now completed 9 Andy's cycles of DMSA, ALA with last

doseage up at 33mg each plus continuing cilantro (which helps me with

sideeffects) - I

experience the following: starting Saturday morn about 9PM and doing

every 3 hours during the day and 4 hours at night: feel a bit more

brain comfy right until i stop Monday afternoon, unless a bad night's

sleep - then gradually tail off more so in energy and brain pain

restart, with

the worse starting by Wed. late afternoon and Thursday unbearable and

pick up some energy on Friday to get ready to start again on Saturday -

SO OVERALL I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER I AM ANY AHEAD OF THE GAME AFTER THE

NINE WEEKS - evidence seems to be that i am not as i am more hermit -

I AM ASKING MYSELF IS IT TIME TO THROW IN THE TOWEL (am i fooling

myself again?) as i do not see much evidence of definite recovery by

those on the thread. Plus the idea that with other socalled cures in

the past and the packaged answer - " you took many years developing

this problem to where it is therefor must spend many years of my

protocal to get better " and before you know it year's have past and

nothing has really happened but lost time energy hope etc. Common

sense keeps telling me if a protocal works it should start working

pretty soon after inception even if on a very gradual but discernable

manner. Input would be appreciated. Blessings. Ron.
