DHEA

Verdict given today!
The plan is to carry on milk free, taking the
DHEA
daily and letting my doctor know how I feel. Tests can be done in December again, but if I happen to feel any worse (there is a possibility that
DHEA
may not be suitable...!) I can contact her.

Egg quality advice
I just wanted to ask what people's experiences of
dhea
are? I see them on the biovea website ..what ones are best to buy as there are loads. Have people also taken coq10 and melatonin and any other antioxidants to improve egg quality?

Have you had success with levothyroxine?
My cortisol and
dhea
were just about in the correct ranges when I was taking NDT. I found out today that my TSH (I don't know the other levels but will try and find out if they know them. Doubt it though!)

Cortisol is elevated. DHEA is within range. Now what?
Hi I had my saliva test results returned today and I'm not sure what I should do. The results are shown below. Can you advise? Do I take something to reduce Cortisol? Should I see my doctor about this? I was prescribed 25mg of Levo a few weeks back but I didn't take it until I checked my adrenals.

7 weeks in on NDT and I really need some help/advice...
The endos next plan is to try me on some
DHEA
- just wondered what people thought of that? One other thing to mention is that I also had my B12 checked again on that recent blood test and it was 447 (range 180 - 914).

what could have caused this sudden change in symptoms?
I recently switched to Adrenaplex (list of ingredients see below) as it contains not only the highest dose of adrenal complex that I have seen in any OTC product, but also
DHEA
and pregnenolone that I have been taking separately so far, plus licorice which is supposedly great for adrenal support.

Which Adrenals Tests Should I ask for?
Should I ask for
DHEA
? what else I need to understand the health of my adrenals? Should I do 24 hrs urine test? or saliva? Please help as I struggle to find a doctor who understands what I'm going through!

Luckily I was put on a regime of
DHEA
and Pregnenolone and now at least I get some goods days and bad days. Many years ago I went a British Thyroid meeting with NHS and their was a few NHS DR also attending.
