I got a DVT 11years ago after a hip replacement....Been on warfarin blood thinner since...I was taking BO and RM and had no issues with leg cramps.....Switched to PM and Reishi and got the cramps...Was taking 2000mg a day.....Cut it back to 1000mg and the cramps went away....If I  tried 2000 again they came back... I was able to settle at 1500 and had no problems....Back now on BO with no problem....

I have been on 1000mg/day of PM, RM & WP for two months, but decided to add only one extra 500mg of PM per day at lunchtime, for a total of 1500mg/day. Four days after doing that I started experiencing mild cramping in my calf muscles after going to bed at night, but before falling asleep. A week after increasing to 1500mg PM/day, I went back to 1000mg/day, and the cramps went away. I do experience other daily things like twitching of nerves/muscles in my back, around my butt cheeks and also in my face, and I can only put this down to my HRT.

So it appears that 1000mg PM/day is just right for me personally and I'm going to continue with my original daily dosage. I've had a nice increase in breast size, my hips and butt is different (I can feel it) and my face has rounded out somewhat around the lower cheeks, so all is good. I must add that if my breasts continue to grow the way they've grown since January, I'm going to have myself a pair of really large breasts in a year's time. But I don't know how long it takes for anyone on PM to reach their full mature breast size, so this is still a mystery to me.
