Re: DHEA Sulfate and morning AM Cortisol levels

[Guest guest]

Don your cortisol levels are way to low for a morning test now you need to do a

4x's in a day Saliva test to see what your rithum looks like.

Most Dr.'s even mine did this to men when I did a morning blood test what they

are looking for is 's where your cortisol levels are below the normal

range and this can kill you. What you have is called Adrenal Insufficiency.

And most people with this problem have low DHEA levels.

Here is a link that talks about this and has a FAQ's link in it. In this link

you will find a 4x's in a day Saliva test you can buy your self and do. Get

this post it when you get it back.

My Dr. would not give me Cortef HC meds for this so I asked if I could try

Isocort it's sheep glans that 8 pills = 20 mgs of cortisol you can read about it

in the FAQ's. When he seen how much better I felt on this he then gave me

cortef HC meds.
