Good for you! You used the right approach. Your symptoms are classic for a reversed self-adjuster. The brake on the bad side is self-adjusting with each brake pedal application going forward. Bad news. The reason it loosens up after a time is you are simply wearing the drum away. Wrong/damaged/reversed shoes can also cause this but it's time to stop guessing. Take it to a brake pro and explain everything you did. Let him fix it. If he offers ceramic (Dura-Stop) shoes for that model, let him install those. Someone else pointed out (correctly) that brakes are too important to be fix by "trial & error". You've reached the limit of what you can do and there's no shame in that at all. Be safe, and let us know what it was when you get it fixed!
