Almonds give me gas!

I've heard that almonds are good for men with low sperm count. I learned this at a fertility forum that I am a member of. I had joined with so much gusto initially. It was at the beginning when I was first starting the IUI cycles. After much dissappointment I stopped posting. It was just too much for me. Anyway back to almonds. My cousin suggested them as a low carb filler, but I've noticed the past few days I am gassy (as my grandma would say). And I am not speaking of a small amount. Its a lot. But enough about that.

I had my third treatment today and the needles were a tad bit painful. I normally feel a prick and then nothing more, but this time I could feel it in my arms and on my leg. But I slept on through with the warm lamp on my abdomen.

As for the muddy water, that describes it perfectly. I had found a name of the medicines in it but lost it. Anyone know what they are? This is the most disgusting gunk I've tasted but between the TCM and the acupunture, somethings working. I can see and feel it.

For anyone trying or trying in the future, my acupunturist and herbalist says its okay to add honey. So that's what I did tonight and it helps...a little. The more honey...the better.

Agree with you on the honey thing.

That mud water tasted like shit. I am cringing now as I remember the taste in my mouth. EEKS.

Don't insult shit like that. Even it probably tastes better than this stuff. YUCK!
