OT: Sam,'s BD ( Re: Dr. Vliet...)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

You refer to " mite bites " from excess progesterone? What are those? I get

these small

sores around my scalp, neck and shoulders. They hurt when I touch them. No one

has

been able to figure them out. Is this what you are referring? Is there a book

that describes

these and the role of progesterone?

Thanks,

Robin
