Just wanted to report DH's latest adventure with DHEA. Started him

on 5 mg, and he felt great with more energy for 3 days. There was

some stress at work, and he got progressively more hypo each day.

After a week, when it got to the point he was depressed and almost in

tears again, stools were hard, seriously fatigued, I figured this was

not adrenal anymore, this was low thyroid. He had no anxiety, which

is his major adrenal symptom; every indicator was that he'd become

seriously hypo, even though he'd been raising Armour just fine and

was now almost at 3 grains!

I studied the hormone synthesis chart and all I can figure out is

that for him, DHEA converts to estrogen, which binds with thyroid,

and thus, effectively lowered his dose. He stopped the DHEA on

Sunday, was still very hypo on Tuesday, but by Wednesday, his energy

had come back. He said it was actually a stressful day at work, with

lots of stuff going on, yet he didn't have to stress dose, and had

enough energy to get through the day!

So I guess no more DHEA for him! But just got my saliva labs back

and I showed low in DHEA, so will have to do a trial myself sometime.
