Hi shortcake,

I was reading your post. I know what its like to get discourage because of the access androgens and estrogen causing acne.

Good call that you are doing flax. I find it mops up extra hormones. I noticed I get far less acne now. I wanted to let you know, not all adrogens are the same. I found SP to be harsh on me while Pygeum Bark was mild and doesn't have a bad taste. I did good with Peony root as well for anti adrogen treatment.

Also, keep in mind that when taking any glandular, it will always vary in the way that it affects you. The hormones in the ovaries are never the same potency/ratio everytime. In other words, there may be an abundance of estrogen versus progesterone (or vise versa), a fairly good and balanced amount of all hormones, or a lot less in both hormones, which is why some found it ineffective to take or in your case, sensitive to the sudden change.

Hopefully, its just a bug. But it sounds like it could possibly be an over abundance of yeast(from the BO as hormones tend to spark this kind of activity in the body).
So its advisable to take a form probiotics like yogurt or anything that is fermented to keep a healthy amount of the friendly bacteria in your gut.
Don't get discourage.

Feel better
