I want to thank you for being here, and for addressing the difficult questions
Goodmorning Isabelle,
I thank you for being there to help me with NBE and other things too.. You make it so much easier to understand NBE..
I got up again last night to read the latest threads, but then my internet connection got slow. So went back to bed, and got up late this morning. So my sleeping rhythm is all messed up too. Maybe it's this indian summer: I still saw a starflower on a borage plant yesterday. They normally flower in spring and summer
Me too..took hops at about 9:30 and didnt make me tired, even woke up around 1:30 after a creepy dream I had, I had so many weird dreams last night, now this morning I feel annoyed just a little bit from them but will get over it..along with the dumb ass dreams my arms kept waking me up from going numb this morning my left side of my neck hurts..thinking about drinking some turmeric tea that usually helps with the muscle stiffness or jump in the shower first cause not sure if the turmeric will make me less estrogenic or is the neck and mood showing me I have good levels of estrogen..also not sure if I want to take maca..so far this morning (knock on wood) my face has no acne what so ever, feels smooth, and chin hairs maybe 1 or 2 or none for me that is wicked good.. last night I took flaxseed oil and codliver oil with the hops protein shake.. I was thinking the times I get tired from the hops is when I have it with complex carbs like wheat germ, flaxseed groud, havent had it with oats yet, so going to see tonight what happens.. today I was thinking of just taking SP, FG, hops..no GR.. also when I make a tea of
FG and GR with GR being more mgs to FG I get a very calming effect..I feel very level and calm almost like I had some wine...but yet I drink hops I feel nothing much..I am thinking of making a hops tea this morning too..now part of me is almost wanting to not taking anything except hops tonight and SP only this morning and forget the rest..and back to the dreams they were about NBE and I thought about those dreams and I think I should stop obessing sp? again with NBE, I do better when I just take what I need and go about the day..so going to do this today..wow that was alot of rambling..sorry
It's possible that horse tail makes you sleepy. I never took enough to find out much about the side effects.
Fenugreek will certainly take away your energy. I take it in the afternoon now. It increases insulin immediately, so the first 15 minuts I have enough energy to put away my stuff and make something to eat. If I wouldn't eat after fenugreek, I'd get tired because of low blood sugar. I still do, and usually take a nap until the food gives me energy again. So if you need to keep going, it's probably better to eat before fenugreek.
Fenugreek is very odd with me, I am very sensitive with it.. but sometimes it doesnt bother at all..I guess it all depends on how much insulin is available to be released..right..maybe today would be a good day to take FG after I eat..if I fall asleep then I can blame the turkey
I haven't tried soy milk recently. It's quite effective: one cup (237 ml) contains 20 times more phyto-estrogen than 2,000 mg hops:

But because it slows the thyroid, many people lose weight on it, so their breasts don't grow.
Really your kidding me..that much..wow ..so is it not good to take together with hops I wonder..would it fight over the receptors and make them lower..cause last night I took the hops shake and didnt get sleepy then when I woke at 1:30 I put more into a little bit of soymilk and still nothing..didnt even get the sweets, some tita feelings but not like the other times and I usually wake with some fullness and today not much..I did that before and got the same thing..I really think for some reason when taken with a complex carb it makes a dif..doesnt hops have effect also on insulin too..but you would think it would make energy..me confused about why it makes me sleepy sometimes and sometimes not.. I believe I have high prolactin levels cause I am always hummm lets say ready to see my man so I think GR will be put off for a few days..because if simulating the breasts produce prolactin then using the NB is doing that so taking a break from that too..yes good point about the Indian summer...wow did it again with the rambing..wooo
