Re: First Round DMSA Kidney Pain

[Guest guest]

What dose and dosing schedule are you using? I presume you have NO mercury

amalgam dental fillings?

<p>HI all, I have only had 2 doses of DMSA today as my first day of

chelation<br>

and my kidneys are hurting. I am drinking plenty of water. Should I knock<br>

back the dose more or quit it?<br>

Hi Kelle,

On rounds 9 & 10 for me, I had some marked flank pain on my lower right

rear/side torso,

and muscle spasms. I upped the magnesium (took more during the round at the

nighttime doses). Never had it again.

If you search Onibasu and put in " flank pain " , you should pull up some posts

from the

archives.

Not saying it's NOT your kidney, but my understanding is the flank pain is not

uncommon.

Your dose for your weight and timing?

Here's a link which show the location of the kidneys.

I had flank pain and kidney aching with my first round. I added half a

tablet of B-1 with each dose of dmsa. My hair test indicated high

cadmium which requires taking B-1 to protect them during chelation.

This stopped the problem for me. I only take 12.5 mg of dmsa every

four hours.

This may not be relevant, but I thought I would mention it in case the

other ideas don't work for you.

I took UP6 to eliminate calcium build-up [kidney stones]. For the

first few doses, it actually *caused* the beginnings of kidney stones.

So I reduced the dose and took it much more frequently, and the

stones disappeared.

So it is possible that the DMSA is pulling minerals, including perhaps

calcium, which are lodging in the kidneys.

You have pain in your lower back, which you presume is your kidneys.

Actually, if you were to do something that killed your kidneys you would not

experience

pain in the kidney area. Kidney problems that do cause pain do not generally

cause it in

this area either.

Most likely what you have is lower back pain due to lower back problems,

exacerbated by

DMSA helping move mercury around and thus temporarily deranging mineral

transport a

bit more and preventing proper utilization of magnesium. Taking magnesium more

often

during chelation may well solve this.
