“Try the phallo subreddit, but anecdotally I've seen people reporting good results with lion's mane there. I will be trying it personally once off the prescribed pain meds etc.”
U/SHADOWSINTHESTARS ↗“Took Lions mane around this time last year and unfortunately it bought back lots of side effects that I hadn't suffered from for a long time (would say i was feeling 95% healed for 1.5 years) Bought back hypnic jerks, insomnia and burning arms and legs. Took around 6-7 months to clear.”
U/STAY_STRONG_AND_HEAL ↗“There's not much to say from medical science. It's considered promising but not very well explored. The specialist who should be the most familiar with emerging research into natural substances and potential drug interactions is pharmacy so you can ask them to search the literature. That's basically what to expect from mainstream medical providers. It's certainly nutrient-dense and delicious, one of my favorite eating mushrooms.”

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