Ahhhh! Ok, this article helped a lot. Thank you! there's a lot on

STTM site i don't know about, hidden links and stuff like this.

My PS is complex 500 mg, so the article makes sense that only 100 is

PS...I was worried that 500 mg PS was way too high (since

my " cortisol manager " only had 50 mg of PS in it) and was worried

that much would just crash the cortisol again... or something weird

like that. but since about 100 mg is PS, that is a lot easier to

handle.

I'm going to try it tonight and then by some regular non-complex PS

tomorrow and try that.

I do notice that my sleep troubles are worse around days 17-28 of my

cycle... (sorry guys). And i'm sure some of it is

estrogen/progesterone related. I'll be saliva testng those this

weekend with my ND.

Thanks for the help!

I'm still so new to this.
