DHEA
- 2.5 (1.0-11.7) (im taking

Chronic Dehydration and hypo? Link to cortisol? Pituitary function tests listed - any ideas? Please jump in and comment!
I've tried alkalizing drops, dessicated adrenal support and
DHEA
. And no matter what type (T4, NDT or T3) or dose level of thyroid replacement I take it does not alter. Reading an old nursing book got me thinking.

Adrenal test results; very grateful for advice
DHEA
levels sample 2 inside range, 0.22 sample 3 low; 0.14. DHEA:cortisol ratio 0.86, which is within range. I have been told that 'Stress analysis and adrenal support and restorative measures are exceedingly important', and to recheck after 1 month.

On Armour 2 months was feeling good but not so much now
From previous blood tests My
DHEA
was low (im on
DHEA
15mg pharma grade to sort this out) Vit D was very low 17.9 (now taking D3 2000iu a day) B12 was 547 (ref range ng/L 191-663) Doctor said nothing of this but i have read that new reference ranges would put me at the lower end of scale.

T4 out - T3 in. Am I recovering?
Adrenals were not so bad, cock eyed as to times of highs and lows but
DHEA
had dropped off the scale. Suffering with rt3 (High). That was in October 2012. I stopped T4 and NT straight away. In November I stopped NAX. This was on Paul’s advice and went against Dr.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
But after a year or so the doc, on the basis of a saliva/hormone analysis/ moved me to a pill form of bioidentical hormones which included
DHEA
, estriol and estradiol. I did not feel as well. When I shared this with him he insisted that this new formulation was what I should be on.

Eltroxin makes me feel terrible
TSH 8.9, T4 19, T3 5.6.
dHEA
1.8. Having done a bit of research I asked my consultant about natural thyroid or T3 and he said he would not prescribe under any circumstances. So I now have a box of eltroxin and I feel terrible.

Need to find a GP who will do something.
I take testosterone 5mg gel and my
DHEA
is lower than the low end of the scale. I'm also hypoglycaemic. I'm pretty convinced that my problems are being caused by my thyroid. When I ask for results all I'm told is that they are within range. I'm not overly confident that my GP will do anything.

Low sex hormones etc
Hi all Still desperately trying to sort myself out and am feeling really angry today following the latest 'report' from an endocrinologist who, despite my ongoing symptoms of ill health, claims she cannot help me and doesn't want to see me for another year! Despite her brief as an endocrinologist

Bio identical HRT and blood clots
Progesterone,
DHEA
formulation. This past 18 months I have seen a dramatic increase in pain, which in hind sight was probably due to insufficient coagulation. But I wonder -- does anyone know of a connection between BIOIDENTICAL hormones and increased risk of blood clots in APS?

where can you find adrenal food
Decreased production of
DHEA
can cause lower levels of both estrogen or testosterone. If the adrenal glands become exhausted, this creates a damaging domino effect for hormones.
