someoneinengland said:Quotegod, I started taking that borage oil with some lecithin and now I'm having a fever, terrible stomache ache, the worst headache I ever had so far in my life and I've been sick several times. and all this only in two days of taking borage oil this is madness, why the hell do I get such a reaction???? sad.gifI'll stop this immediately I can't take that it feels like a major hangover or some kinda serious flu...
are you people all fine with that oil-thingy?
what are your doses? I started out with round 2000mg of GLA and 1000mg of lecithin a day..I thought that's allright sad.gif
has anybody experienced the same or a similar thing? I'm on tane by the way maybe I'm too sensitive at the moment and should try again when I'm off but I'm really kinda scared now I would never have thought that this is going to have such a horrible effect (and I know it's the oil, I didn't change anything else).
do you people take liquid oil or capsules? cause I took capsules...maybe I should try liquid next time?
god I don't even no if I want to try that one ever again....
my diet consists of painkillers rightnow eusa_dance.gif cry.gif eusa_wall.gif
what about flaxseed, primrose oil...I just wanted to try borage oil because the GLA amount is the highest and it seems as though flaxseed and primrose are not as good....what alternatives are there to borage?
anyway, I don't want to scare people off this oily post, BUT you better watch out... rolleyes.gif
Im sorry to hear about your reaction anjana.
what brand of borage oil & lecithin did you use?
where did you get it from?
did you store it in the fridge?
whats the use by date on the bottles?
did you take the borage oil and lecithin just before food or on an empty stomach?
what milk did you use? use by date?
did you drink milk before using the borage oil and lecithin? i.e. are you a regular milk drinker?
how long have you been on accutane?
It is quite possible that the interaction with accutane caused this as accutane is such an unknown.
here is a link about accutane:
[Link Removed]
alright,
brand...well it was from holland and barrets, you probably know that since you're from the uk?
no I didn't store it in the fridge....should I? I mean we keep olive oil in the cupboard as well...
I've taken the borage oil plus lecithin first thing in the morning then had breakfast straight after and the second dose just before dinner, with milk, and yes I am a regular milk drinker, I used to drink milk all day when I was a kid and long into my teenage years, but recently I changed to rice milk cause I have a suspicion that milk is breaking me out....(not sure though), anyway, I still drink milk with accutane.
I've been on tane since august last year and will finish my course in november this year. so quite a long time, 20mg.
yes well I really don't know what caused this reaction. I'm still feeling unwell but I drank water like a camel so it's getting better....I was actually wondering if it's because of tane,cause tane works on oil production...yes I know this is probably wrong thinking...but still....being on a medicine that reduces oil so drastically and then throwing down a high dose of oil the other day... 
I'd love to go on with this but I really really can't. I need to get back to work and I can't risk another knock out because of this fuckin (sorry, you have no idea how much time I spent on the toilet) oil... 
someoneintheuk, do you think there's a big difference between capsules and liquids?
it's just that I know to 90% that there's still a hormonal issue cause I keep getting crappy skin even on tane round my period...maybe this will change to the better when I'm off it...but still...I just want to control that somehow....but on the other hand I've been on birth control also and that didn't work at all although it must be way stronger than oils....
isn't there another source of GLA except from oils? something to eat,drink,whatever....
do you think I should just skip the borage and try some combined oils or primrose/flaxseed?
ummm....I think I'm too scared anyway to try anything at all until I'm off tane 
Hi anjana.
i think there are some herbs that specifically target hormone balancing. I did a quick google and found this:

Have you noticed a difference in your skin??
And btw, Melfice, I don't think they sell Kefir in the US, not in the major grocery stores anyway.
Hey fuzion....I just started borage oil 3 days ago....I'll def keep ya posted....I'm already feeling better cuz I stopped the minocycline...(nasty headaches have lessened)......obviously too soon to tell the effect on my skin....I'll post in a week and update! I am having a bit of a breakout...AHHH, so scared my face is about to errupt....I'm trying to be calm, just watch what I eat, drinkin' my tea and water....milk with my borage and I eat an egg every morning to take the place of the lecithin. Also only taking 3050mg borage oil a day...not what others say to do 5000mg/day...I'll wait for my results...no tests proving good or bad at the high doeses, but I just want to be cautious..... ALSO stopped my muliti-vit someoneinengland warned me to make sure and do that part!!! thx
..being on a medicine that reduces oil so drastically and then throwing down a high dose of oil the other day... eusa_think.gif
As you said your bad reaction is probably due to the accutane factor and the reduction of oil it has---especially considering how long you have been on it!
Have you ever considered going off the tane--has it helped reduce your acne? When i went on it it didnt clear my skin until after i stopped taking it (5 months in) and then the results wore off after 3 months.
brand...well it was from holland and barrets, you probably know that since you're from the uk?
i need some more starflower oil soon so i will try out holland & barretts brand and see what its like.
no I didn't store it in the fridge....should I?
Uh-oh..I didn't know I was suppose to keep my borage oil stored in the fridge..Its been in my cupboard all this time..
Yeah make sure to store the oil in the fridge--EFAs go off quite easily.
someoneintheuk, do you think there's a big difference between capsules and liquids?
never tried the liquid vesrion for borage oil. although i did for flaxseed a few years ago and it was no better than the capsules for flaxseed. For me its a personal choice, taking oil on a spoon feels like having a medicine, whereas swallowing a few capsules feels more normal.
other hand I've been on birth control also and that didn't work at all although it must be way stronger than oils....
i think birth control pills and GLA work in different ways with hormones so I wouldnt dismiss GLA on that basis.
I've got Soya Lecithin 1200mg - is this ok?
thats what i use- x2/day
I did and seen resultad I am only left red makrs and zits few on top head all acne gone razz.gif But I also take other supplements such as Skin Elements , Skin Blend , Ultimate Skin Formula InJUV..
is this from adding borage oil?
im actually taking 10% GLA present in each 1000mg EPO capsule. i take 3 capsules per day after food (well i follow the directions on the back of the container) geez these vitamin/mineral capsules are very expensive. no i dont take it with milk (can you??)
Try taking it with milk, just before a meal. As for expense, i understand what you mean, i spent hundreds (in a year) trying to find a solution with supplements- now my costs are low-A20 a month. A lot of acne sufferers spend a lot more and dont even get results.
someoneintheuk I have question about LECITHIN.. Lol lately I am researched if it is safe to eat raw egg yolks : and resultad brings 80% NO 20% yes especially for long time consume... Becouse most topics says egg raw yolks makes blood dirty and contain 20-30% bad bacteria ... So:
So I ate raw egg yolks for LECITHIN but now I dont want do u know other sources getting LECITHIN? I know I can buy as supplement but than I need to make new order for only lecithin so any other fruit/veg can give me daily LECITHIN....
Thanks
Hi,
Can somebody recommend the best brand of borage oil preferably in liquid form or something strong so that I dont have to swallow 10 capsules.
Also, it'll be really helpful if we could collate the success of the people who have started this program as this sound to be one of the most simple regimens on this forum,
Thanks
Hi anjana.
i think there are some herbs that specifically target hormone balancing. I did a quick google and found this:
http://depression.about.com/cs/altmed/a/pm...ernatives_2.htm
someoneintheuk,
thanks for the link...I heard about some of those herbs and stuff before. I've done acupuncture some time ago, twice actually, first time to help with my acne (didn't help at all) and second to help with tane side effects (didn't help either). but I remember they used to give me herbs like for hormon balance (they also used to pinch my ear really hard with a needle, bastards 
)
anyway, I'm not quite sure if herbs have any effect on me at all....but maybe I'll give it a go when I'm off tane. and yes, I have thought about coming off tane 
, I'd rather not be having a head like a tomato for the rest of my life. I'll finish my course round november, then probably break out really bad and then either clear up or go back from where I was in the beginning. it is SO frustrating.
so nobody seems to take oil as a fluid then....ummm...I would just feel a bit safer with that cause it might be purer than some capsules, who knows what exactly is in them anyway....
I think I'll ask my derm when I'm off tane what can be done about this hormon problem....I don't really want to go on birth control for the rest of my life, isn't that extremely harmful?
no really, I'd rather go with something natural....
do you think herbs would have the same effect on acne as oils? cause on this link it only talks about PMS, which I used to get but not anymore for some reason.
uh I hate my body, I want a translator, I'd do absolutely EVERYTHING it want's me to do, if only I could understand WHAT.... 
Dear Anjana with GLA it is possible to balance hormone levels especially Endrogen. About herbs what kind of you used before? Names?
You Can try Skin Blend-4 By Solaray that I use :
4. Skin Blend Sp-4 By Solaray (Daily 1 capsule / NOT IMPORTANT TO HAVE UR REGIME)
