Re: Does DHEA Improve Energy? - Adrenals

[Guest guest]

Thanks Phil.

Last time we talked about it, you pretty much laid it out as far as how to take

Isocort and skip the herbals, etc. Thanks for that - and I will read that

thread.

Right now though, I am having some success with Ginseng and Ashwaghanda. I feel

a bunch better, and I don't want to move to isocort just yet.

Licorice was horrible. I crashed as if I had a double espresso. Ironic that

that is NOT how licorice should work. (No one ever said I was normal

My main problem now is sleep! I'm not having adrenal crashes like I used to and

the night sweats have subsided somewhat. I think I have my thyroid dose tuned

in ok (more or less). But I'm still waking up after 6 hours as I have for the

past 20 years.

Also have mild IBS - every few days I have to pop a few immodium. I think that's

thyroid related.

Anyway, I'm getting OT here, but I thought I'd put that all out there in case it

rings a bell with anyone.

For me it's wake up, take some 5-htp or L-theanine have a bite to eat and

(hopefully) get a couple of hours more.

Thyroid or cortisone in the AM would jolt me awake like a bucket of ice water
