Larry,
I may have a clue as I have found I am sensitive to glucocorticoid changes. Saw Palemetto is high sitosterols especially Beta-Sitosterol according to:
http://www.springboard4health.com/notebook/herbs_saw_palmetto.html
Beta-Sitosterol has a cortisol regulating (lowering) effect.
It also resportedly is a diuretic and especially good at encouraging the kidneys to remove sodium and chloride.
Sooo..
Anyone with adrenal fatigue/insufficiency taking Saw Palmetto could make them feel worse.
