Construcivtely, all I can suggest is to really ramp up your dose and see if it gets things going. Rememeber I have taken up to 8000mg a day, to get things moving.

I will increase it to 3000mg. I would not have the nerve to push it to 8000mg

Beverley,
As you will no doubt have seen, many times I've said that I got headaches if I went up to 3000mg a day which was perfectly true. However recently I've found that 3000mg a day no longer has that effect and I have certainly taken that level for over a week with no headaches, so I'm beginning to think it is possible to build up a tolerance with time. I'm not sure if that is just a tolerance to headaches or whether the body loses sensitivity to the actual phyto-hormone in some way. I thought it was just the headache effect, but having now seen Chrissie say she is up to 8000mg a day to get things moving, I'm wondering if it is the latter. However, I have recently stopped all PM for a few days because I realised that although I didn't get headaches, I was feeling just 'not right' within myself. I can't define that, just not myself - I've always been blessed with generally very good health so I tend to be acutely aware of anything that is below par however minor it may be.

So I guess that what I'm saying is be careful and listen to your body and take time to build up, don't take handfuls irrespective, just because you are feeling desperate. Tbh, personally I'd be very wary of going anywhere near 8000mg a day - that isn't criticism of Chrissie, just my gut reaction to that level..
