I'm usually fairly optimistic, but having a terrible day, feel complete despair, like I'll never be 'normal' again.....
Then he suggested
DHEA
and nutri adrenal. I said I would start them one at a time and started with the
DHEA
. Although that doesn't seem to have had any marked effect on me in itself, the fatigue and sleep problems are worse to the point of becoming unmanageable, so I've stopped taking it today.

All my results now in! Putting it all together?
My
DHEA
at sample 2 was 0.92, and at sample 3 was 1.31. Normal it says. So all of my samples are normal aside from the noon which is low.

Has anyone found dhea affected their sleep?
I tend to struggle with sleep anyway as my adrenals are very flat but this was particularly bad, so wondered if it was to do with the
dhea
. Has anyone found this? Thanks, L x

Can you split capsules to reduce the dose? I'm starting on dhea, has anyone had side effects?
Morning all, there seems to be endless conflicting info about
dhea
online. I'm hypo and my adrenals have be very flat for a long time, and my
dhea
and
dhea
/cortisol ratio are both low. I've tried all the vits & herbs to heal the adrenals but recently had a crash.

Adrenal test results
Daily Cortisol 13.6 (21-41)
DHEA
a.m. 0.17 pm 0.14 mean 0.16 (0.2-0.7) ratio 1.14 norma (0.6-3.0) Adrenal Exhaustion stage. I thought I'd have fatigue, but these explain why the Thyroxine hasn't helped. Will post these to Dr P and make an appointment asap
