Hi Rudi ;
Correct, it does mess with one's appearance.
I am able to work from home these days, so appearances are not crucial.
Could not do twice daily if I traveled to the office daily as I've done in the past.
The joint pain is sufficient enough that I wish it to stop ASAP, and since I've tried to control all other possible reasons as much as possible, and I'm not prone to joint pain, and since prolactin's half life is ~15-20 mins, I should know in short order if this was the culprit. (This reasoning should also address Unacknowledged's statement.)
My apologies to Makaveli1988, I did not commence my study with photos, as this was a personal experiment from which I expected little. The efficacious results are irrefutable to me, but sadly I've no evidence to present.
If my joint pain resolves, I'll restart with one application every second day (that should still maintain some efficacy), to determine a threshold for the joint discomfort, though I'd need bloods to really understand what's at play here.
I'm only a sample of n=1, so obviously my results don't represent a consensus, though I thought them helpful to this board.
