CaseyJ, exactly as you describe – I tour chemists across three towns. That’s 16 chemists and, with so many different employees, it’s never been difficult to get them. Only once have I been told ‘no’ by a really young assistant who said she couldn’t keep selling me them so regularly. Nobody else remembers you in a big town…

I feel I can cope with anything psychological as that’s easy to convince myself it’ll pass but the lack of energy and aches are the worst for me.

Thanks for all support, guys, your progress and success is a proper inspiration!

Flo1981, I’m really sorry but I don’t feel comfortable sharing the method for extraction. I totally get your fears over Ibuprofen dosage but, in my lowest points, the thing I wished above all others is that I never found this method. Once I did, it was so easy to justify my dosage steadily getting bigger and bigger, which I know has made it much harder to crack. The method is also not totally effective so I know I’ve been getting pretty large doses of ibuprofen anyway since I got up into using 50-60 and above tablets.
