I saw my GP yesterday...One of the first things he said to me was that he had been reading research on DHEA nd AI. He even spoke to a local endo here in town about it ( my GP has 2 AI patients, me being one of the two) and the local endo said he thought it was looking sort of positive in the research.
I told him I had read some things here in DS and that I even looked at the DHEA at the store but when it said for "Men's health" I hesitated in getting it. he explained that although it is in the family of male hormones, it does not make your body produce testosterone and that I should try it. I will be buying some! Posted on 03/03/10, 04:45 am |

I have been taking DHEA on and off for several years. I do just buy it over the counter (Mens) but a compounding pharmacist said that he could compound some for me. I just haven't done that yet.

It is one of those things that once your on it for a while, you think your better and can do without. But after a while, you realize you never should have stopped. I am always trying to take the least amount of medicine, sometimes to my disadvantage. So yes, I think it helps by giving a overall feeling of well being.

Thank you all for your input!
I feel that way about Vit D...TW. I started taking it after a blood test showed I was low and I feel it is the reason that back then I began to be able to stay awake past 4PM! I take that regularly now, but battle a lot of fatigue still.

I just had my DHEA levels tested too and they measured zero. I started a DHEA supplement from GNC, but a guy in my support group recommends the micronized DHEA because it's more pure. Sure will be interesting to see if I feel better. I haven't really been up to going to the gym for about four months and I'm so ready to get back!

Hi coke! Long time no hear from on here! good to see you post!
You have a support group? That is great! I wish we had one here in town ( I have a post it note on my fridge to start one). I have not been able to get to walmart yet so my mom is picking up the DHEA today for me and I will start it I guess tonight. I hope it helps.

I started taking DHEA a few months ago when my levels also registered near zero. I was diagnosed two years ago and my doctor should have tested me long before I asked her to considering that in women it is largely the adrenals that produce DHEA. I take 12.5mg per day. I decreased from 25mg because my skin was so unbelievably oily. I have noticed a slight improvement in mood, energy and libido. I would be interested to hear more about the supplement that cokecpl's friend has.
