gdawson & Bex, thanks for clearing that up!!

/shucks, & I was really lookinf forward to *finally* finding what was the matter!! hmm.. What could it be then?/

I will look at those sites & probably print out stuff.. my brains are 'fried' a bit... from reading too much already, as it is..

I've read how ground flaxeed is healthy & just assumed the oil would be too.. & when the pharmacist suggested this instead of real fish oil (which might have too high overall dosage of vitamin D combined with other stuff), I said I'd give it a try.. Interesting that the link you posted says freshly ground is better.. But can it go bad in capsules too?

So would it make sense to just throw away (read: return to pharmacy or dispose of in a designated programme) or donate those supplements that don't agree with me? (they weren't cheap either!!) not sure if anyone in the family might tolerate them... or just eat 1 capsule every 14 days or so..? What do you guys think?

Has anyone had eye problems/photosensitivity worse from supplements?

Again, Thank you!!

so glad to have come to this forum, where people seem to know quite a lot about all this - nutrition, supplements etc... I was running out of places to ask about all this!
