I've been on estradiol .05 transdermal patch and 200mg prometrium for

about 5 years. Am 56 years old. These have worked well for me (or so I

thought.) I've also taken 25mg pregnenolone for years.

Maybe it's the 10mg/day DHEA that I added in a few months ago (labs

showed I was quite low in this.) Maybe DHEA is causing my body to make

too much estrogen or?

It's weird because I've always had sort of " cut " muscles my whole life,

good musculature, and now my arms and calves are sort of weak and

flacid. No definition. No strength.

I think I must have really crashed... ?
