I feel like I always come to the same conclusion with NBE. The potential risks side effects just aren't worth it, and I am too all over the map with adding things to tell what anything is doing.

I didn't want to believe the stuff people were saying about numbness from pumping. But I havent pumped in a week or two and was feeling pretty good. I just did it for a little bit and now I'm experiencing tightness in my neck, and numbness in my arms and legs. I don't know if it's psychosomatic but I also feel less emotionally ok. It might be from being overly focused on concerned with my body and image issues. My boyfriend also keeps encouraging me to stop taking the pills because I've been dealing with such extreme emotions and anxiety.

I blame inconsistency for why I don't get results but I just don't think it's going to happen for me like it has for others. I've been totally not focusing on the building blocks of being healthy: working out, healthy sleep schedule, and good whole foods : and just expecting pumping and pills to work magic for me. I need a reality check. Tonight I'm going to pack up my pump and my pills. I'm going to make a healthy meal plan for myself full of good fats and veggies, and focus on getting workouts in again as well. Maybe in the future I will try adding things one at a time, but I'm taking so many things at this rate I don't know what's doing anything if anything at all. I add and subtract things too quickly. I will continue with massaging with zhi mu but thats it. 

Thank you for your message Danica, it came at a very good time.

Same here. I had numbness in my fingertips, legs and armpits. It felt better once I stopped pumping. But then I picked up the pumps again, pumped too hard for like 1 minute. I got a little bump in my right armpit the next day. The bump went away in two weeks. I  switched to massaging breasts, but massaging made my right armpit hurt more.  It took probably three months for the armpit pain to go away completely.

I suggest you stop massaging as well and give yourself sometime to recover from imflammed nerves.

It's crazy how even a little bit can cause it to flare up again. I am sedentary most of my day so I'm trying to get up a stretch a lot more too. I was really feeling good and then after pumping that little bit I still feel tension in my neck, arms, shoulder, down my arms and into my hands and my legs. I was legit ignoring the symptoms because I felt it was probably just because I sit a lot. I'm sorry your dealing with it as well. Thank you for taking the time to share

I didn't think about inflamed nerves until I overhead my mom's conversation. She and her friends experienced numbness. This is hard to cure. The medicine used to treat inflamed nerves seem to have strong side effects. She took it for 1 week, and had a very bad nausea when quitting the pills. Her friend overdosed a little bit one time cos her numbness situation was bad, then she couldn't walk straight. If our body can heal itself from inflamed nerves, we are lucky. 

I don't use pumps anymore. Afraid of further damage. Also my naturally big nipples became much bigger that I don't even wanna look at them. They don't have the same sensations anymore. They feel discomfort and sensitive but almost no pleasure. I honestly think they are damaged somehow.

How's your BO program going? My boob gain mostly came from BC pills and weight gain. Maybe I need hormones after all to get any real change.
