Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Nell, when this happens to me- mostly triggered for me by something I ate that was too cleansing, well I take a DMSA and it goes away. I have kids, I can't be non-functioning with a killer headache. Wish I had something better to offer, ~ " Aggghhh. I'm on day two of a terrible headache. Woke up with it night before last, had it all day yesterday, woke up with it again early this morning. It jumps around to different parts of my head. I've tried Excedrin, yoga relaxation poses, wrapping my head, ice, antifungals, charcoal. It won't budge. I chelated last weekend without incident but am skipping this one.

TK--- I may be misunderstanding this post, But taking one DMSA is a very bad idea. If you want to start a new round that is fine after the appropriate time period. Skipping a weekend of chelation because of other problems is fine. Otherwise deal with it using normal remidies. Food can be one of the problems especially sulfer foods or foods you may have an allergen to. There can be many reasons which can cause them which you will need to look into to prevent them. If they continue try and keep a diary of what you eat, drink, do and when the headaches start. Allergens can have delayed responses. I have kids, I > can't be non-functioning with a killer headache.

I did not have headaches for years and years and years until I started chelating. And they can be strange - I get this one that is two inches back from my forehead and I keep telling myself it is my pituitary detoxing - I sure hope so. For me it is not uncommon to have a headache lift when I start a new round. It is also not uncommon to get a headache on a round. I agree with trying magnesium. Epsom salt bath might be good. I haven't tried increasing calcium (but I'll try that one myself next time). Another idea is deep breathing, either in stillness or activity like a walk. Have you ever tried the yogic alternate nostril breathing? I've found that helpful sometimes with headaches. Can you get someone to do some really gentle head/neck massage? -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 This may or may not apply to anyone else's headaches. I don't usually ever get headaches. Since I started chelation I found that headaches are often a signal that my potassium is low (and they go along with feeling real lousy). Drinking alka seltzer gold has resolved them. My husband and daughter both seem to get headaches from low magnesium and exposure to allergens/chemicals. This time of year allergens are big, at least where I live.

That's a good thought. I have been experiencing quite an increase in brain function lately, so maybe it just hurts to clear some of those old pockets out. > > I agree with trying magnesium.

It's not totally gone now but more of a lurking shadow headache, iykwim, so I can function. >Have you ever tried the yogic alternate nostril > breathing? The few times my yoga teacher has done pranayama in class it's made me really anxious, but that was before Cortef. It always surprised me how powerful the effects of changing breathing patterns are. JT, I was thinking the headache might mean low potassium too, so I took some of that fizzy C with potassium and got that instant clear-headed feeling. Bananas for breakfast today! Once again, thank you so much listmates. I'm so glad this list has gotten more active, and has so many smart people on it! As you all know, when these bad moments hit it is very hard to think clearly about the problem, and it's a great comfort to be able to come here and borrow your brains for a moment. Thank you.
