“I've had noting but good experiences with Lion's Mane. I live in Italy and I take a brand the local pharmacy orders for me. It's called Hericium here, and the brand is LongLife. It makes me feel calm and clear, more aware and focused. I take two capsules a day, one month on one month off. No bad effects at all. Thanks for the recommendation on cordyceps. I had never heard of this before. I intend to find out more. Do you think it would do any harm to take it together with Lion's Mane?”
U/HUMAN5481 ↗“About 400 mg KOS powder in the AM, more wrecks my sleep. Very helpful for memory & cognitive function. I’ve used it for years”
U/BEARSOWLSFROGS ↗“Well, my feet and hands also started tingling while I was on Lion's Mane which progressed to chronic pain. It never went away and I still believe it was because of LM's effects on nerve growth. For me there is no other real explanation, but I've stopped talking about it for the most part because some people don't want to believe it.”

Add context that might help others — skin type, conditions like PCOS, what you'd tried before. The more specific, the more useful.
