Thyroid, adrenals and DHEA supplements

[Guest guest]

Hi -

Has anyone had adrenal testing of the DHEA levels and

found them to be very low? If so, did you try supplementing

with DHEA to see if it had an effect on the thyroid levels?

It was just a wild idea and finally found a doc to test

my DHEA adrenal level. It was 82 (range 35 to 430). Low

DHEA can cause all kinds of problems and can affect

various autoimmune diseases, including having an

effect on the thyroid.

I've read that supplementing with DHEA can help boost low sex

hormones in postmenopausal women. All of mine are low.

I asked for the lowest dose of DHEA (5 mg per day) and got

pharmaceutical grade.

Now I'm too chicken to try it. Wondered if there are

any experiences out there.

Thanks so much,

Chris
