Thanks, RumCake! 
Well I heard back from BB, and my pics aren't dramatic enough for a testimonial now.
I'm not surprised. They want me to take pics again in March and see if there's more of a difference. I'm not holding my breath, though, because the changes I get are SOOO SLIGHT, that it's not gonna be noticeable in just one month. I'm gonna try to increase my protein intake, and see if that kickstarts growth a little faster. Without gaining weight, of course! I seriously doubt I'm getting more than like 70-75g per day; and I think if I could get closer to 100g it might be better. I like tunafish; so I'll try having a tunafish sandwich for lunch everyday. It has like 13g of protein in each serving. 
I'm trying to get into a routine with my NB, using it only on that stubborn small right side. It would be nice if it would catch up to the left side! I'm just so tired by the time bedtime rolls around, that I usually just say "Oh, screw it" and go to bed. On the plus side, I have been using my heating pad at night, draped across my chest. I think it automatically shuts off after an hour or so. And I listen to my subliminal mp3 track (the silent one). It can't hurt!
I have stopped drinking my lovely green tea in the evening, because I've noticed the past couple days that I seem a little deflated from what I was like five days ago. Darn it. So I just bought some plain old regular decaf tea to drink in the evening. I'm trying to fit in a few squeezes and quick massages throughout the day. My arms can't stand more than a couple minutes of massage; so I figure this way is better than nothing!
So far, my temp is still hanging in there around 98.5 in the evening. More like 98.2 earlier in the day. It certainly helps to keep myself warm too; there was a couple days earlier this week where I was just wearing a short-sleeved shirt all day, and I was FREEZING cold; and I didn't want to wear my sweater cuz I'm always washing my hands and stuff, and the sleeves don't stay up; and my temp was in the low 98's. So keep your body warm!
