Off rounds

Jaden's mood was pretty unstable.

He would have an upturned mouth, quivering ready to cry ... refusing to do his work and screaming his head off at his therapists. Lots of pinching, stubborn and the frequent pee-ing too. 

It seems that he has more pee than usual and have to go rather frequently, something which does not happen often. Its almost like he could not control keeping it in until he reaches the toiletbowl/potty. 

Of course, that took place yesterday after his last dosage of 5mg DMSA at 330pm. 

I also noticed that he has a fiery red ring around his anus, which I had made quite a big effort in clearing it all up before I embarked on this chelation journey and here it is, flashing me in the face the bright red ring! 

This is due to yeast usually, and that I can totally understand as he has been giggly during the chelation weekend. So, now, its back to combating yeast again before I go on my #Round2. 

Jaden has also been teeth-grinding these two nights, and extra loud last night. So I am going to retain his double calcium intake for about a week and see if the teeth-grinding issue would go away. 

There is a belief that if the kid is heavily metal-toxic, they tend to do better on rounds and then get a little cranky when they come off the rounds. So, no prize for guessing which group Jaden belongs to ...

Poo, however, was good so far. It should be in the number 3 category of the Bristol Stool Chart. *phew* Its always better out than in -constipation can make Jaden a difficult boy to deal with most of the time.
