Notes for today:
I ran out of my mysterious little Chinese herbal BB's a couple of days ago, so for the last two days my regime has consisted entirely of PM (3500 per day) and Fish Oil, supplemented by two cups daily of Spearmint tea, plus the application of PC once or twice daily, topically as a breast massage. I am awaiting arrival of a new supply of Peony in capsule form.
Listening to my creaky old body, I am noticing a few things.
I am somewhat crankier. The euphoric femininity previously in abundance is slipping away the last two days. Today I even reverted to old ways by losing my temper and yelling at an oblivious woman driver who cut me off in traffic (no turn signal, just pushed over in front where there was not room to do so as though my car was not already in that space and then continued in, despite my application of the horn forcing me to take evasive action to avoid a collision, and then had the temerity to yell through her window at me...people. Sheesh)
But my point is that in the recent past this kind of egregious action would not have produced an angry reaction from me. I find myself reacting irritably to minor provocations from my family as well.
I sense all this may signal a change in body chemistry. Perhaps I am discovering PMS? LOL
But I suspect it is due to the withdrawal of SP from my program. It has been a week now since I ceased ingesting SP. I wonder if indeed the Spearmint tea is sufficient to keep my T level in check.
But there are other factors at play. I noticed last night a second return of minor under arm oder. With the exception of the one occasion during my break from all supplements, when the same phenomenon occurred, my body has been virtually free of odor for the past three years (perhaps we need to start a new business marketing NBE supplements as. deodorants? LOL)
And one last observation, though I am guessing this to be unrelated. I had a touch of severe out of breath dizziness yesterday while clearing snow. I thought I might even pass out though, thankfully, I did not. But the extreme shortness of breath was troubling. Granted, I am 61, get precious little exercise and was engaged in some strenuous work in 20 degree temperatures. I suppose that alone could be the culprit. And combined with a rather extreme diet I have been following in preparation for something I am doing tomorrow (oh, vanity...hee hee) , it may well be that my blood sugar had fallen way too low. Yes, probably unrelated to NBE. And yet...we cannot help but wonder...
Today I resumed a more normal diet ...hee hee.
I shall be curious as to the effect of the fresh supply of Peony, once it arrives.
Thoughts?

Thanks for caring, Sis!
