DHEA has brought back periods!
Am I taking too much
DHEA
? I'm wondering if I should drop the
DHEA
to 10mg. With the ME, I really feel that I can't handle heavy periods again, and I also wonder how long they'll go on for. I'm dreading the same again in a month!

Don't know what to do :-/
I know my
DHEA
is low, but it's actually improved as it's gone from 0.19 to 0.30. I'm taking
DHEA
again now, hoping I can raise this further.

Dhea
A doctor suggested I use
Dhea
the hormone to help me cope with the thyroxine I was taking. The armour was making me very sleepy and the
dhea
seems to have helped but I worry about putting on weight. I wondered if anyone else was using it and whether people have found it useful.

Re-post, help with adrenal stress results please
This general indicates falling levels of both cortisol and
DHEA
from excessive stimulation/secretion over long periods of time. It can also reflect the effects of exogenous use of
DHEA
in adrenal exhaustion states after several months of
DHEA
supplementation.

Help with adrenal stress results please
My doc has had me on
DHEA
for several months, and it looks to me like the third test shows things are worse rather than better. He says however, I should continue to take
DHEA
as well as the Nutri Adrenal I'm on, but I'm not so sure so I've stopped
DHEA
. I wonder what others think?

Wilsons and adreanal
I have been able to alleviate this by taking 10 Mg of
DHEA
with my NDP that helps but through out the day my eyes start to water then swell up and I can't see , I must say its a lot better with the
DHEA
.

Adrenal Exhaustion
My
DHEA
has also dropped since last year, it was flagged as low in the afternoon. Do you think my GP will actually do anything to help?

Allergy
I have tried taking a small amount of
DHEA
but that doesn't help. I was wondering if I need to take more NDP but on the NHS T4 I was taking 100 Mg. If I take more NDP then my face goes really red and my skin is really dry. any help or advice would be most appreciated. John c

In there anyone out there who has managed to sort out sleep problems by balancing thyroid/hormone issues?
Had my adrenals/hormones checked Autumn 2012 and at that stage, despite the ongoing sleep problems, my cortisol was in range (behaving exactly as one would expect) though my
DHEA
was just below range (took a short course of
DHEA
but didn’t have any noticeable improvement in sleep).
