I started natural hormones years before I did the WP, mainly to alleviate migraines but only after trying other ways to control them. I tried eliminating my cycle completely one month at the suggestion of the health practitioner I was seeing at that time. That was not a good week; I never made it to a full month!!! I had worse migraines and every other symptom of PMS was exaggerated because of it.

Finally!, I discovered the WP, and I say this with great passion because when you are searching for something that makes sense and is right for you and you find it you want to scream from the roof tops about it. My friend and I heard about the Wiley Protocol; it made more sense than anything else being offered to women; in fact it was the only thing that made sense. We are always in control of our own health and well-being and no one other than ourselves should have that responsibility; and that is what Susie was saying. Music to our ears! We were in sync with everything, even the philosophy. 

I felt very alive the first month; I had sore breasts and lots of energy, and needed some testing and tweaking by the third month. I actually did not realize how many symptoms I was having that were annoying to myself and to my family, and that got addressed on the protocol. I had PMS and severe blood sugar issues and with those come anxiety attacks; those have almost disappeared and I can address those with diet so that they are not running my life. The migraines are still with me a few times a month and if I screw up on my hormones accidentally (I'm sorry, Susie, it was a goof up on my part) they are worse. Again, they are not running my life; and also I have discovered a medication that helps me get through the migraines without feeling drugged or causing me to hide in a dark room. One needs to make sure that meds don't cause problems with absorption of the hormones. 

I have great concern with people halfing the protocol or changing it without knowing what they are doing. It is scientifically researched to work the way T.S. Wiley designed it to work. She re-examines it all of the time with an open mind to make sure it is working correctly and for the correct creams without additives, etc. etc. Scientific data is being collected and the only way that can happen is if it is accurately followed by us- The Women, and by the Pharmacists and Doctors. You also need to find the best doctor for you. Three years later my only concern is what it will be like to have my period, and a libido, at 90.

By the way, my husband likes the changes he's seen in me.
