Guest guest Posted August 19, 2002 Report Share Posted August 19, 2002 The doctor who wrote the booklet prescribes up to 300 mg DHEA plus other stuff, depending on the person's DHEA blood test level..... not DHEA-S. I started at 25 mg. for a week, then 50 mg for a month now ready to move up to 75 mg. as see how it goes, then labs to test DHEA level in about a month.... but I suspect I will know by how I feel. mjh In a message dated 8/19/02 2:47:50 PM Eastern Daylight Time, writes: > What is the safest max dosage for DHEA? 75 mg sounds little too high for > me.Are you sure it is safe? > Nil > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Thanks Jerry, and Amy for your advice with my teenage sone. Jerry, you crack me up......he already has a girlfriend and I think that she adds to his " demon-like " actions. Maybe it's hormones, who knows. He just think he knows it all and I know nothing!!!! , you give me hope, maybe in a few years he will settle down and act right. I'm patiently waiting...... Someone had asked about iron supplements. I was recently so anemic I had to have a blood tranfusion, not fun at all. My liver doc said I could take a multi-vitamin with extra iron. I just bought the Wal-Mart brand since it was the cheapest. So far, my hemoglobin has not dropped like it did. I didn't realize what anemia did to you. It's scary! Take care guys, in Louisiana > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 ..... I just thought a girlfriend would keep him out of your hair...when I was 17 thats all I thought of was girls (now I think about women and dream about girls..sigh...) Also when I was 17 I was disgusted that my parents wer so dumb I was amazed when I turned 25 how muched they had learned in such a short time and when I was 30 I just couldn't believe my Dad had become a genius... Before my transplant I was so anemic from bleeding varices that I had transfusions every 3 weeks or so. Once I went to ER with a Hemo count of 5.2 they were amazed I wasn't comatose. BTW I way I raised 4 GIRLS thru thier teens as a single Dad ...you want to talk about pulling ones hair out.. not to mention 4 cases of PMS thru-out the month . ( 5 when thier mom was alive) They all turnrd out great ,,,,and paybacks a bitch as the three older ones are moms themselves so thier days are coming.. That 17 yr. old will be a man soon enough and his treatment of you will change... after all a boys best friend is his mother. Good luck!

Remission on 3 yrs taking SPRYCEL and cml for 10 years. I can hardly believe this, God is really good! There is hope for us all.n [ ] hair and perms I know people get their hair colored and I was wondering if any one knows if it's safe to get a perm?
