Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Felt I had to stop my husbands chelation for the time being.(because of weakness) Don't know if it was the right move. He doesn't seem to be getting any better..I know it hasn't been long enough but there must be something else Im doing wrong. I feel like his adrenals need to be supported better. He takes Adrenal Cortex 150mg 3 times a day and I have him on all kinds of vitamin suppliments. He just seems to me to becoming weaker. He's been losing weight around 20-30lbs. His tremors are still there everyday as soon as he wakes up. His Pain (upper middle lower back) remain and even with 4-5 percocet 10/325mg with roxicodone in between for BT pain, we still don't have a handle on it. He is on a antidepressant- Lexapro. I recently added pregnenalone 25mg which he takes once a day. And he has taken the Diagnos-Tech's adrenal test back in Feb. with results that read: Cortisol AM 9 (13-24) Noon 6 (5-10)Evening 1 (3-8) and midnight 1 (1-4) His DHEA was 7 normal (3-10). The Estradiol is 15 (1-15) Progesterone 119 (5-95) and his Free Testosterone 46 (50-80) His Thyroid results recently last week are: Total T4- 8.1 (6.1-12.2) T3UP-38.6 (32.0-48.4) FTI- 7.8 (5.9-13.1)TSH-0.85 (0.34-5.60) Free T4- 0.87 (0.58-1.26)Free T3- 327 (230-420) and Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies- <10 (<35) All his other labs CBC,Comp Chem profile, Lipids look ok. I saw the page " The adrenal restoration plan " and I guess I could up things like biotin and zinc and try to find him Isocort or something but I really don't understand how he is having this excruciating pain thats up and down his back. This is a symptom no one really talks about on this forum and I can't understand why he would have this when no one else is. This pain is what is effecting his job and our family and it came on at the same time all the rest of these symptoms that suggest mercury poisoning happened. He has met counting rule 3 and 4 on his hair test back in Feb. He is listed as Hair Test #172 And we are doing Dmsa 25mg every 4 hours, 3 on/4 off. I haven't added the ALA yet because he is afraid that he still has a body burden of mercury and he is afraid that whatever is in his body will go to his brain. His exposure was Last December of an improper amalgam removal. He is also the father of an Autistic child. Back in Feb his temperatures had taken a nose dive. They still haven't come up yet. But in the last couple of months he has been having hot flashes really bad where he will sweat profusly but his temps will still be low. This afternoon he came home from work and told me that at 7am his temp was in the 96's and at 10am it was 97.9, but then he got a hot flash at 10:10am and his temp was 97.8. Then later at noon it was 96.9. Im not going to be able to sell the doctor on hydrocortisone for him and he has to wait another month to see a doctor (the only one) that deals with Thyroid Syndrome. Does anyone think I should go ahead and try him on ALA yet? Its the one thing alot people keep talking about that has made them better. He's only been on less than 15 rounds of dmsa so far. Does anyone have any sources for hydergine, isocort, etc. I don't know if I need reassurance or a new game plan. But its very stressful knowing he depends on me to make this all better. I need help.
