wow my thoughts are racing. I decided to have a colonic after a series of colds this winter and talking about them at columbus raw i thought, I didn't have any colds last year when I was getting colonics. so the second day I wanted to have a b/m in the mornign b/c I had one the mornign before and so I took three msm. I had a b/m in 20 minutes and felt swelling in my throat on the way to work. once there, I felt really really awak. i had an orange. at lunch i had popcorn. after that i had a gnawing feeling in my stomache after eating a lara chocolate. i googled it b/c I am so tired of it and found betaine hcl. the supplement i tried a couple weeks ago. i think that is what i need since i am underweight. fine. but for some reason I got on the subject of colonics and bacteria. I'm going to say this cautiously, I hope the colonics last year didn't contribute to my interstitial cystitis b/c I was also experiencing that last year when I had a couple colonics and I do notice a bit of bladder pain and frequency. I definitely had some pains after the colonic. I have decided not to get one ever again. I need to take hcl to digest my food. then i won't get so constipated. side effects of msm are headaches which I sure enough have. and detox. yes, i drank a lot of water. so I am going about my usual business and not freaking out. I have a supply of flagyl if I need it thank God. and I could always tell my sympathetic urologist about the mistake I made. I ate yogurt and who knows, maybe I can overcome it with that and hcl alone. now I"m having oatmeal b/c i still have hunger pains. mentally I feel stressed and the headache could also be from coffee. I don't htink I can do this. i don't think I want to do this. I know I am not ready to go off lexapro and doesn't that defeat the purpose of being 'cleansed from all drugs?

3 MSM tablets sounds like a bit much for me. You should supplement vitamin C, about 500 mg each day for the MSM to function. But be cautious become some people have trouble on the supplment. If it is a detox reaction, the symptoms should get better in a few days.
I would like to say that for me, I don\'t take any kind of prescription drugs, these are what suppress what ever is going on. If you need vitamin c, which is sounds like you do, then just keep eating more fruit. This would be the best way for you. Eating a lot of fruits is a great way of cleansing the body. For me, I don\'t believe in doctors or naturopaths, as I truly believe the body heals itself. Just make sure that you are listening to your body. It sounds like a serious detox reaction and I would steer clear of the colonics, it sounds like you are having a reaction to those as well. Just remember to listen to your body, because no one else knows how you are feeling but you and only you. You will just have to go with the detox reactions and you will be fine in a few days. Also, we are always detoxing, if you have a headache your body is telling you that you just need to go with it and not take anything for it, eat a piece of fruit. Fruit is the easiest to digest and less stressful to the body. I hope this helps, get to feeling better.
Blessings to you my friend,
