Has anyone experienced a light-headed feeling and all over pins and needles sensation after taking fenugreek? Is this a normal reaction to the herb? Thanks!
Answers

- I've used Fenugreek while breastfeeding and still take it from time to time even though I'm no longer lactating. I've never experienced your symptoms.
