These look just like my sons labs, which I posted yesterday on the

I was a bit surprised at his levels, but that would explain his

moodiness, his lack of energy, etc. With myself, I am a bit more in

touch how to fix them. I am a bit reluctant to play with his hormopnes

as he is still developing.

I think DHEA supplementation, adrenal support as well as thyroid shoudl

be my first line of attack. Then we can try to see if his hormone

levels have normalized in a few monthes.

It is a bit scary to see my 12-year old dealing with these issues as

well.

Have you been to see your doc/ Do you have a doc that will work with

you on this? I wishg you the best.

I just checked his cortisol-dhea correllaion. He is in Stage 7 adrenal

fatigue!

I had no idea he was hurting so bad!
