Thanks, eva_bs. I'm feeling a little better now. I have decided to quit BB and just do the generic BO program that others like girlfriday29 and Crystalelle are doing. I think I started this three or four days ago. I'm taking 750 mg of Swanson BO in the morning, and 1000 mg at night. I placed an order for the pituitary and kelp which hopefully should be arriving in a couple days. I am actually feeling lots of aches these days, finally! Thinking about it, I'm seriously questioning a lot about BB now. When I first ordered my 9-month supply of BB last summer, the pills were a gray-brown color; and I had aches and growth within two weeks of starting them. However, when I placed my order for 4 1/2-month supply back at the end of March, the pills looked different. They were more of a yellow-brown color instead of gray-brown; and I really didn't get any more aches or anything when I started back on them after my month-long break. It wasn't until I started adding Swanson BO to the BB pills last week that I started to feel aches again. All my other glandular pills, like the Swanson BO and the Swanson adrenal glandular (which I don't take anymore) are a gray-brown color, like the old BB pills; so the yellow-brown color of the new BB pills has me more than a little suspicious. I don't know if any other long-time BB users have noticed the change in their pills recently too??? There are other things about the BB company that is very *disconcerting* to me, to say the least; but I won't mention them here because I'll probably get in trouble or something.

I also totally stopped the Borage Oil a few days ago. I can't take it for two weeks before my sinus procedure anyway (which is still nearly a month away), but I was feeling less aches while taking it. So out it went! My headache continues to torture me every minute of every day and night, relentlessly. Sometimes it makes me dizzy and nauseous. I tried taking two Vicodin pills I had left over from a past surgery, but all that did was make me feel light-headed and harder for me to breathe. Didn't help the pain really at all.

I'm currently trying to use up the Neocell collagen powder I bought. I mix it with water and my Vitamin C powder, and it is NASTY ... yuck ... I almost puke everytime I take it. I ordered more of the Neocell collagen tablets when I ordered the pituitary and kelp; I'd rather swallow pills than drink the powder. It tastes like really chalky sulfur. Oh yeah, I had also ordered some hyaluronic acid with my last order too. I'll give it a try.

Still taking my multi-vitamins and 5000 mg of MSM each day. And 1000 mg of GABA at night. I'm taking two protein drinks per day, after doing some Easy Curves chest exercises. Hopefully sticking to this routine will get me somewhere!
