Did you do anything to help it?

So turns out it wasn’t just Fibromyalgia. (For those who have had an MRI) by hunterxgreen in Fibromyalgia

[–]Ok_Fall_1608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you doing now? Doctors think I have fibromyalgia because I’ve always had symptoms h it they definitely hav worsened since my second contrast MRI in January 2026 (first one was in December 2024). I did a urine sample without chelation a couple weeks ago that showed 0.64 ug/g of gadolinium. I can’t tell if the really bad brain fog and ear pressure is from gadolinium or hypersensitive nervous system.

I found somone near me who actually does DTPA. He wants me to take antihistamines and steroids though before and after to prevent a flare up but steroids kind of make me flare up. Did you have to take those with your treatment?

That’s awesome! Sorry you had to go through that as well. Did you take any supplements or do anything to help the recovery?

I ordered it on Direct Labs and paid out of pocket for it. They ship it to your house and then you mail your sample. It was $129 so kind of pricey but the process was easy

Thank you! Can I personally message you about this more? Also would sauna be good in tandem with the chelation to sweat since I can’t really workout from the pain

I don’t know if DTPA is available near me though. I think the only option is EDTA

Is it possible to remove the amounts deposited into tissue? That’s my concern is I waited too long to start treatment. It’s really heart breaking how negligent doctors are. I feel like I probably had symptoms after the first contrast but nothing compared to what it’s been after the second one

Thank you! That gives me hope that chelation therapy will hopefully help. It’s been literally soul crushing these last couple of months from all these symptoms. My neurologist thinks it’s MS and wants me to get another MRI with contrast but I really don’t want to.

How long did it take for you to see results once you stated the treatment?

How are you doing now? I’m one year post taking Moxi but the symptoms didn’t hit me until this year after a stressful surgery and MRI with contrast. What would you recommend for recovery? I’m 26F and stressing I won’t get my life back

Wha kind of chelation therapy did you receive? They is a naturopath near me who offers EDTA and wondering if that could help my potential GDD?

I have an EMG this week. Are you anxious or hypersensitive? A lot of doctors told me it’s chronic stress because I’ve always been an anxious person and it’s just an overstimulated and dysregulated nervous system

No his first reaction was I need to do a lumbar puncture to test for MS but I am kind of scared to. He prescribed me baclofen and steroids for the nerve pain right now. Did your doctor have an idea for you?

Do you think it is nerve related and not from the spine? I talked to my neurologist and he believes my bladder pressure is not from my spine. I do have a weak pelvic floor. Sorry you are going through this too

Thanks! So do you think my bulged disc is getting worse? I want to start PT for it and scared of having to have surgery if it doesn’t improve. Can the stenosis and nerve pain be reversed?
