Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I've read about a version of DHEA called 7-keto DHEA that will not convert to any of the sex hormones.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 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!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 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? Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 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. K > > > > Barb, I had to build up with DHEA.
