Hello lovely people,
Before beginning herbs, I did a lot of reading to familiarize myself with the basics and risks. Blood clots, liver, kidneys, dosage, etc. I’ve been using between 500 and 1500 PM and 500-1000 Reishi a day for about 11 months and had some nice results. (I’m 32 y/o.) But whenever I get a cramp in my leg or a twinge of pain in my tummy I find myself worrying that I’ve gone and given myself cancer or something.
What would you say are actual causes of alarm? I do my best to keep up with exercise and drink plenty of water, to back off my dosage whenever I get leg cramps (which is rare) or feel intuitively that my liver could use a break. I’m wondering if I could avoid all this and be safer by going the pharmaceutical route, with a very light dose of estrogen, but I worry that I would experience too much feminization and sterilization (I present male in public most of the time). Plus I don’t want to get tied up in the medical system, I value my privacy.
Apologies if this has been covered somewhere, I’m not doing myself any favors playing Google doctor lol.
