    EPO I am confused!!!

    Ok so I have been googling EPO because I think I am having an allergic reaction to it, not just inserting it up the hoohaa like I originally thought but maybe a reaction to taking it orally too...
    I am itchy almost everywhere!!!! It is sooooo annoying, I was kinda itchy before I started taking it around my piercings but not like now...
    Anyways as I was googling I found this:

    "The gamma-linolenic acid in evening primrose oil inhibits the production of hormone-like chemicals in the blood called prostaglandins, some of which are thought to cause inflammation. High levels of prostaglandins have been linked to conditions such as pre-eclampsia, mastitis, and the formation of cysts in the breasts. EPO is used for breast pain and cysts in several European countries, and is thought to be particularly effective in fighting the cyclical breast pain that often accompanies premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The recommended dosage for treatment of breast ailments is 1,500 milligrams in capsules two times per day. "

    WT?? It inhibits prostaglandins??? I thought it was meant to help but this says that it stops them, so then how is it effective in softening and ripening the cervix if it stops the affects of prostaglandins which are pretty important for labour?? DTD and inserting EPO would not be affective at all then!

    I am confused!! And has anyone else had a reaction to it?? Could the itching be from EPO??
