Adrenal fatigue: when to stop supplements
I was taking 7 keto
dhea
and that had pushed up my t3, so I stopped taking it by tapering it off. I had an adrenal test at that time and my cortisol was slightly elevated at 2 points in the day, whereas early on in the adrenal fatigue it was completely flat.

As some people have suggested to me in getting some
DHEA
supplement for better egg quality. Should I speak to my consultant first and will I need a blood test first to see how much I would need or if I need any at all ? Many thanks and wishing you all the luck as always xx

Moderate cognitive impairment, weight gain, suicidal - at my wits' end with severe adrenal fatigue
Saliva tests indicate low cortisol and
DHEA
, but that was months ago when I was feeling slightly better. I'm suspecting my cortisol and
DHEA
are lower now, especially with the loss of body hair and poor sex drive. Any advice? I know that the NHS does not acknowledge adrenal fatigue.

DHEA...... Anti ageing
I've been told of a new drug from the states that supports your adrenal function ( declines with age) and really helps with fatigue and low mood ...... Anyone heard of it? / taking it ? ๐ Thanks Suzie

DHEA Supplements for egg quality?
Anyway, they've suggested while I'm waiting for our next cycle which will be early in the new year, to take
DHEA
supplements which have been shown to improve egg quality. I was just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this & if it actually improved the quality of their eggs?

Back pain: Adrenal fatigue, feet pain and knee pain.. what we do not get told!
Under stress, cortisol levels are secreted in massive amounts, and
DHEA
, sometimes referred to as the longevity hormone, is suppressed. Over prolonged periods of stress your adrenals can become so fatigued that they will make very little of the hormones intended.
