Thank you for your thoughts and input!

I also massaged before on high doses of PM, although there were many times where I could skip massaging altogether while PM did it's job .. then again I was taking ridiculously high doses at the time too and had the most shocking event in my life happen where I couldn't remember how to speak my native language or put thoughts into words/sentences or remember people's names, and creeping numbness electrifying my body distorting my vision entirely. I don't want to selectively put myself through that ever again.. even though I do desire large firm breasts. There is a certain level of body consciousness that comes along with it.. which from that event I figured out and experienced and has drastically shaped the person I am today.

That does sound like a horrible experience, I certainly hope it didn't last for very long, and that you have recovered properly. Though it is funny you should mention an experience like that, I can relate to a feeling of having a unusually difficult time forming sentences and well, transforming thought to speech in a effective manner. Also the distorted vision. Nothing extreme though but something in that direction I have definitely noticed and thought about, as a side effect of PM that is. If you would like to share more about this and how you resolved it I would like to hear.

Hello Mandy.

I think you're correct about pm putting you into estrogen dominance. As Byrony mentioned, perhaps you're very sensitive to pm, rather than the cause being you happen to be taking pm whilst having abnormally high estrogen levels.

As far as resolving the unpleasant side-effects I think it's possible over time you may become acclimated to the mental effects pm has on you and thus are able to sleep normally again. I do think using progesterone cream would be a good idea for minimizing the physical symptoms you're experiencing.

As far as your pm dosage goes, I think what matters most is whether you're getting the physical and mental effects you desire without incurring any unpleasant side-effects. If 250 mg or 500 mg of pm is all you need, I don't think there is anything wrong with that. It's possible over time you may build up a tolerance to pm and have to increase your dosage. Until that happens, I say take the dosage that works for you and give progesterone cream a try with resolving your physical symptoms.

Hi.
I used this thread do diagnose myself yesterday http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=5135 And yes it seems very likely that it is estrogen dominance.. Hmm, regarding tolerance it seems that my tolerance for PM has gone way down since when I first tried it for a month in October. If anything I need an even smaller dose, to get the good effects and avoid the bad ones. This time around they occurred almost instantly, couldn't stand it, and had to stop after 500 mg total Today and yesterday I have felt much better, like if the hormone levels are a bit more balanced; positive physical effects remaining and only a little dizziness

I have ordered progesterone cream, I have read that you can apply it to wrists and thighs for good absorption. I will try this without PM and see if I feel any different, then I maybe try one 250 mg dose of PM together with using the cream and see how that works out for me. If you have more suggestions or comments I would very much like to hear them!

Thank you. /Mandy
