By 7:00ish, I was starting to feel urpy and generally yucky. Anyway, I took benedryl and advil (my typical response to an allergic reaction to something I ate). And I am sipping ginger tea.

I usually take 2000mg borage oil, but Friday I remembered I had this "almost gone" bottle of EPO and decided to just use it instead of the borage oil to use it up and throw away the bottle. It wasn't expired yet - I checked. And I had taken EPO up until a couple of months ago instead of the borage oil. Anyhow, could this be what made me so sick on Friday night instead of the licorice???

> Hi Simus,
> Usually with supplements I think that they just lose their potency rather than really being able to do any harm. However, with something that is in oil, maybe it could become rancid? Would that give you those symptoms though? Maybe you just have to experiment. I'm inclined to think that something else is going on here. Larry will have more informed comments for you though, I'm sure.

> You poor thing. I feel so bad that you are having to go throught this. At least when you know what you are dealing with, you can do something. I think that the not knowing is the worst part. But hang in there. You'll figure it out soon enough I would bet.

> KaraHey Kara, your message made my evening! I feel pretty good now. I did throw the EPO away. I read that it can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Worse yet, it is not advised for people prone to seizures or on a med that makes people more seizure prone (Wellbutrin is one). Even if it wasn't what made me sick, I just don't want to take a chance...
Just what I needed... I was "kicked off" the internet about an hour ago because SOMEONE ELSE had just signed on using my login and password. Ain't that something?!! I called my internet subscriber and asked them what was going on, and they told me that programs can be put on our computers without our knowledge that somehow make our screen name and password available to hackers. I guess I knew it could happen, I just never thought it would happen to me. They were actually using my ID for at least 4 days, and even sending out mail from my address. Isn't that creepy? It's like finding out someone has been walking around in your home when you were gone. It doesn't even matter if anything was touched... it's just the thought of it...
Anyway, yeah, I am doing better. But as you said before, it can sure seem like a long, long road sometimes...
How have you been doing? Have you tried anything new? How is work? If you ever need any stress relief, let me know. We can start a new game of "Where in the World is Larry Hoover?" I hear it is quite popular in Canada.
God bless,
Simus
