Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Our almost-four-year-old son had a botched DMSA administration on our first attempt (due to my mistakes, he got 25mg DMSA unevenly over 28 hours, ending Friday night when he got a fever). He has had a high fever on and off (mostly on) since then. It has been 3 1/2 days. We took him to urgent care yesterday and they didn't know anything about chelation, swabbed to test for strep and determined that was negative, suggested we wait 24 hours and come back for blood tests if the fever doesn't break. Our son seems increasingly delirious, though he has been urinating well and taking fluids for the most part. He has been fatigued, lethargic, sleeping most of the time, had some pain on urination, had one smelly poo earlier tonight that was mostly smooth brown diarrhea, had a couple incidences of numbness or tingling on his feet that went away quickly, doesn't sweat at night though gets extremely hot (103F or higher). He also had a chronic cough in winter 2008-2009 when we unfortunately lived in a house that had black mold. I am wondering if anyone has experience with mold affecting their children after chelation. My husband and I are very worried that our son may be experiencing mold entering the bloodstream after it (or something) was loosened from chelation. If you do have experience with this, please comment on what you did to diagnose and treat your child. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
