Hm all I can say is that I am young so there should be nothing wrong with my joints and the rest. I am almost certain it is from the PM because it is very distinct. I try to do some stretching to counter it. My skin has transformed very much now in a week as I previously stated. It almost feels like it did after 4 weeks on 1000mg. But I'm only on 500mg and 7 days... Maybe I didn't get nearly as much out of my system in 20 days as I thought I would, or I am just very sensitive this time around. Very well, I'm continuing. Hope this stiffness and muscle pain goes away,.

Edit: Hm I am freaking out a little, I just felt my nipples to inspect the lumps underneath and I was able to squeeze out a drop of liquid from each nipple?! this can not be normal. If this is indeed some sort of lactation that would be weird experiencing already after 7 days exactly today?
Also anyone who went off PM for a while and started again how did you experience the second go compared to first and how long where u off?

I am thinking maybe my body is essentially androgynous in the homrone department and I screwed up some balance eating PM, maybe it takes months for my testosterone levels to go back to 'normal' and not only 20 days? Feels like I am starting off where I finished 20 + 7 days ago?!

You don't have to worry about your hormone levels while on PM or SP. First of all, neither will have any real effect on your free serum hormone levels (they work in a different way, rather than replacing). I have confirmed this from taking monthly blood tests while on PM and SP for a few months now.

It could be that you are naturally high in estrogen, so PM (which contains something very similar to estradiol) could very well have produced an effect similar to what it would be like having female E levels.

If you start on Saw Palmetto (SP), it primarily blocks the conversion of T into DHT (stronger more potent form of T).

However, I have not experienced or have heard of any such profound effects in such a short time, that is amazing. It has taken me months to get proper budding and still no soreness.
