Kim,
I've been taking 1000 mg a day just as you have. I've
been so ill, I had to cut back to 500 mg a day. JUst
last THursday, I was so naseated, I was throwing up
and had bad diahrea. I would ask the doctor to cut
back and keep at the 1000 mg for a while...
Anyway, I've not had teh other problems. Maybe a
little dizziness....but not bad.
