Hi Dana
Oh dear, not a good turn of events. Please don't get discouraged, finding a plan that works for you will be expected to have a few bumps along the road.
Putting my engineer's hat on for a moment, when trying to fault find something it's best to go back to when things last worked properly, work out what changed and what needs to be done to get things working again. The positive thing is you were getting results :-)
From my own experience I agree with Jannet. I was drinking Green Tea like it was going out of fashion and any effect was marginal if any (for me). however, when I switched over to Green Tee Extract I definitely noticed things kick up a gear, and high percentage polyphenols is the thing to be looking for.
I would also agree regarding the PC and it may well be the reason for flattening the pink fog and raising the agro settings. It goes into the system pretty fast, and depending how much you used it is quite a powerful hormone. It will tend to reduce oestrogen and although I can reduce DHT it can also increase T. Works best when you have an established system up and running and there is plenty of oestrogen floating round for it to work with.
I am sure I remember reading somewhere that WP is best as a tincture, as passing through the gut and liver really knocks back it's effectiveness.
Got caught out myself with CO. Because we tend here to focus more on its NBE benefits we may overlook it's other applications. It is used extensively for health benefits and has an anti-bacterial/fungal effect. Typical me, I barrelled in and started with higher doses and got a VERY upset tummy! (wasn't pretty) Too much too soon. Basically I was getting a toxic reaction from too much die-off. But for NBE, health and weight loss reasons I thought it too good to ignore and I stuck with it. Starting with a teaspoon once a day I was soon able to take larger doses without a reaction.
Just a thought? Do you ever notice a white coating at the back of your tongue? If you do it may be Candida? Coconut Oil is the generally accepted go-to remedy, and two tablespoons a day is a really big dose to hit your system with if you do have Candida and could explain your bad reaction?
Think you should be ok with your replacing the SP with Reishi. For those who have tried both, most seem to agree that Reishi is better, myself included.
3k of PM seems high. Though have to put my hand up and admit I did bump up to about that myself for a while. However, at those doses it has been reported as being counter productive and has anti-androgenic properties (reduces testosterone), which if you are going to try for aromatise becomes somewhat self defeating?
Speaking personally, at the moment I am on low dose FG in the morning and low dose PM in the evening and progress is very noticeable. Less is more?
Hope you can get the cist sorted, don't want that hanging around.
Hang in the Dana, you will get there :-)
