4000mg of Evening Primrose Oil/Endometriosis symptoms

I went to see GP (a locum) with general breast pain and all is ok, but she recommended 4000mg of EPO a day. She works at the breast clinic as well and they recommend this dose to their patients with breast pain. We are ttc so stopped taking it at ovulation, but the results are amazing. For months I have been really down when period starts but this month I feel okay about it. I have mild endometriosis and usually have a really sore back and abdomen from ovulation to end of period but this month I have had hardly any pain. I have also been doing situps (I usually stop "in case I'm pregnant" then feel rubbish because my pms stomach is so huge and flabby) and I dont know if this has been "massaging" any adhesions, but I feel great. 4000mg seems to be huge dose (high strength capsules are 1000mg so I take 4). Has anyone else experienced such a transformation?

spoke too soon - just had two days of nasty pain, but apart from dealing with that still feeling much more "up" than usual. Has anyone else tried a mega dose of EPO like this?
