I'm going to add in to this one now, I didnt say anything before because I thought it was 'just me'.
Firstly, Bryony's headaches sound exactly like mine.
After my 2 months lay-off in Jan-Feb-March, I started back with a part bottle of pueraria.co.uk that I had in the drawer. That lasted about a week or so and then I switched to R1 at 2 x500mg a day then ramped up over about a week to 3x (2x500mg). I know thats a bit of a quick ramp up, but I know I can tolerate that level for a few days and I wanted to get myself saturated asap(!).
The headaches started almost at once, which didn't altogether surprise me so I dropped back to 4 a day, but they continued so I dropped to 3 and then two. Its only been this past few days on 2 a day back on the p.co.uk stuff ( R1 all used up now) that the head has really cleared. Before my lay-off I was on 3 x 500mg R1 ( 2 @ 7am, 1 @7pm) and during the layoff I had no real desire to x-dress.
However I noticed that as soon as I went up to 6 a day I did start to want to dress and then I remembered that ages ago, whilst on the old formulation, I was slightly surprised that after a while at high levels the x-dressing did come back, more than it had in the early stages.
I've been thinking about it the last day or so and I wonder if it is something to do with the feedback loop boosting natural T production ( I've also noticed a slight increase in 'morning glory', recently as well) to try to balance the bodily hormone levels, once the E goes above a certain point, and then that in turn somehow screwing our unbalanced brains and causing the GD to work loose again... or something!!
In addition... yes, whilst on the R1 I did get extremely 'ripe' but that seems to have subsided now. I have also always had a feeling that I am slightly allergic to PM in general - it seems to cause me to sneeze a lot all the time and my nostrils are 'crusty' ( TMI, sorry!), as though I have hayfever in the middle of winter. That went completely during my lay-off and came back with a vengeance whilst on R1 but has subsided again now.
I just wish it was having as much effect on my boobs as on the rest of me!
