I would take this with a pinch of salt! Aging depends on many factors

as the variation across the globe shows.

I did try Pregnenolone for maybe 6 months, but it didn't appear to

have any effect. It is a precursor to other hormones, so needs

conversion. I suspect it did nothing for me because my temperature

was too low and fluctuating so the conversion couldn't take place. I

asked Dr P about this and he agreed this had probably been the case at

the time.

Oh that is very interesting Miriam.

What kind of temps did you have around that time? Can you remember?

Mine are not good at the moment but I am hoping it is another one of my

temporary adrenal 'dips' that I have been having quite a few of

recently.

Thanks.

ps that is also interesting what you say about variations across the

globe, care to expand on that?

Agestop do a pregnenelone cream, they are reliable - I bought my

melatonin from there. I think it is in Dr P's book that he talks about

the studies done on the preg cream which showed a decrease in the

nukber of wrinkles iknt he subjects using it. Tho apparently the

effects reversed on stopping the cream. I admit I have thought about

trying it - but felt I should wait until I am properly better with the

thyroid!

I have to confess (no telling me off people!)I had a botox injection on

a frown line for my sisters wedding as being porrly has aged me so

much. That really helped things look better - but really I have only

started looking better since my thyroid levels have got higher!

Well - you know what actresses use to shrink their wrinkles, Preparation-H. If it shrinks piles, it shrinks wrinkles ;o)

I expect my temperatures were the same as today as they have been low

for at least 20 years (and probably more like 40)! Currently they

range between 35.7 C and 36.4 C (96.2 F and 97.5 F).

I have just started Serenity natural progesterone cream which will

give me some direct benefit even if the cascade conversion effect to

other hormones doesn't take place yet. I have just started cortisol

too, but it is too early days to see an effect.
