Hi GF! Yeah, I was still taking two protein drinks a day (yuck!).
However, I have made a radical decision about my program today. I have been feeling very lousy for the past six weeks. I have bad stomach aches every day; headaches; and at the least little concern or worry, I get so severely shaky my teeth will literally chatter. I'm really concerned about the possibility that my taking two raw adrenal glandulars a day for the past 8 or 9 months might have lowered my own adrenal glands' function. I literally cannot handle ANY stress or worry without getting severely shaky and immediate sharp stomach cramps. Of course I'm not ruling out any of my other supplements being a culprit either. SOOO, since I've been doing my program for about 10 months now, I've decided I really should take a break and do a cleanse. I'm stopping all my pills and supplements and protein drinks for one month, and I'll be taking milk thistle to clean out my liver. I'll still take one raw adrenal glandular a day for the next week to wean myself off of it. And I'm taking it easy with the milk thistle, starting with only one softgel a day for a week before increasing it, because it says on the bottle to avoid it if you are allergic to ragweed, and darn it all wouldn't you know, I'm like really allergic to ragweed, lol. I took the first one like four hours ago, and so far I'm OK. I totally hate stopping everything when I've been noticing new fullness; but honestly, I've been so physically ill for the past six weeks that I totally can't take it anymore.
I am still doing my hypnosis every day and at night, and occasional massage, whenever I remember!
When my month-long break is over, I will probably start my BB pills again since I have 4 months left. But as far as ALL those other pills go ..... no way. I just ordered Nature's Code vitamins that come in daily packs that are specially formulated in the correct doses for everything. I figure if I get my body in optimum condition, then there's little need to take ALL that other stuff. I'll resume protein drinks after my break, too. I really hope I feel better! It's been really difficult coping with everyday stresses, and the recent deaths of three of my pet fish (I get VERY attached to my pets, and I am very heartbroken right now - causes of deaths were totally unrelated to each other, BTW) when I immediately get shaky, nauseous, cold, and crampy. If I'm still feeling bad one month from now, I'll get blood tests to find out WTF is going on. But I'm hopeful it'll get better.
Besides, I really feel like the hypnosis was helping to get things going again for me; so I'm hoping that will help me keep my newfound "gains" and not lose any fullness. We'll see! Anyway, a break and a cleanse was long overdue for me.
