Thanks Isabelle,
Sorry, I forgot to come back and check for your reply until just now
Yes, I know that Chrissie doesn't take SP and I believe that sfem didn't take it all the time, that's why I decided to drop it myself, because I had a feeling that it was creating some unwanted side effects.
Well I've been back on SP at 2x610mg twice a day for a few days now and there may be some increase in the growing pains. I've had a few spontaneous stabs, although they didn't last very long each time, but that is certainly a good sign. OTOH, have also seen a return of the suspected side effects which include heartburn in the night and waking up very early ( between 12-30 and 1-30 am) and not being able to drop off again for several hours.
I guess the trick is to try to find the SP level that just gets rid of DHT and hopefully reduces the side effects to an acceptable level, but I need to wait until I'm sure the growth is going again properly before I can drop the SP level.
