Elevated DHEA-S levels?
One thing that did should up as fairly elevated was my
DHEA
-S. It was 439 ug/dL with the upper range being at about 370 ug/dL. I had my testosterone checked but I am unsure of the results (presumably normal, otherwise I would think action would have been taken).

Dhea supplements experience
Has anyone taken
dhea
before or know much about it? I've been doing some research about it and seems interesting. I'm not sure if I'm going to do IVF again and if I do it won't be for a while, so I'm trying naturally again and looking at taking this.

Dhea for ivf and effect on thyroid
I've also just started
DHEA
a week ago - having done a lot of research as it is supposed to help with egg quality and quantity especially for people like me with low reserve. It's one of those - there isn't enough research to prove that it does help, but there are a lot of success stories.

Questions to ask my endocrinologist?
I have a low ferritin and an elevated
DHEA
-S level, but no action has been pursued. I'm not entirely sure what to expect from this appointment, as I still do not have a definitive answer. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you, I am so grateful for each and every one of you.

Thyroxin Orion + DHEA (3,5 weeks now)
I have been on thyroxin and
dhea
combination for almost a month and on a milk-free diet for almost two months. It is a short time to expect "final" results, but I would just like to ask you a few things.

Adrenal Nutri Extra+ high cortisol levels
All of my levels were high and out of range all day.My
DHEA
was in range but at the low end. From what I can understand this means that my adrenals are working overtime at the moment and are stressed.

What has changed !!!! Feeling worse
Last week my consultant told me to increase my
DHEA
from 25 mg to 50 mg which I have been doing for the last week, due to high cortisol and low
DHEA
. Yesterday I took 50 mg
DHEA
and also 2 x 500 mg Holy Basil throughout the day.

Crushing fatigue but bloods are fine. Any suggestions?
I've been here before (I was treated w
dhea
and various supportive supplements to no avail) but maybe it's time to go down that road again. I'd need to know how to start (eg what tests to get) so feel free if you have any ideas. 2) Maybe it's time to give ndt another look?

Under a magnifying glass
My doctor said that swollen, dry and aching feet and difficulties sleeping are probably symptoms of hypo and she said that she kind of knew that
dhea
alone would not be enough for me.

Low blood sugar?
So, to me
dhea
does not seem to be a solution. But milk-free diet has worked well enough and I am not so worn out any longer (I mean fatigued). It is good, since I can be more alert about my other health problems now, even if I am deprived of good sleep (because of
dhea
??).
