New to WP

[Guest guest]

Hi I am from Australia and I started on the WP 4 months ago at the suggestion of

my GP after 18months of night sweats, insomnia, acne and uti's. I started on 1/4

dose then 1/2 dose and have been doing full doseage for the last 2 months. No

more sweats, insomnia or uti's, but still skin problems and a new symptom of

very severe headaches - lasting up to a couple of days and some days of

noticeable irritability and brain fade and fuzziness. Was a migraine sufferer

for many years but in my 40's would experience only the migraine aura and a very

light headache. Went back to my practitioner (she uses WP herself and a great

fan of it) and she suggested the headaches may be due to liver malfunction so

started me on some herbs to assist with this. She also recommended I do blood

tests to check hormone levels but not until I have been on the full protocol

another month (3 months full WP). I did a search online as concerned about these

side effects and found your site. I am 53 and in good health (have had partial

thyroidectomy due to tumour 13yrs ago)but manage my health and lifestyle well.

Am not sure whether to continue on these hormones - have reduced my intake to

1/2 dose after reading some of the stories of people on this site. Any

suggestions?

Thank you - Lee
