Well, unfortunately, he is low in testosterone, so we did want THAT

conversion. :( Hmm, I wonder if giving him testosterone directly

will still have the same negative effect? Maybe he needs an

aromatase inhibitor too? Man, this gets SO complicated!

Thanks,

What were your symptoms? Did you test low for DHEA, testosterone, or

estrogen?

Do you mean it had no effect, or you had bad side effects? What were

the effects?

I had a lot of health issues going on at that time, so it is hard to

say what all the DHEA was doing, but I had headaches and it did not

improve my energy. Now it does with the building up.
