Hi all,
Have decided to start on the DHEA and HC cream prescribed by Dr M after saliva adrenal testing showed adrenal issues.
My DHEA levels were very low and despite being concerned about its effects on hormones (I am quite oestrogeony (sorry, not a real word) I feel I need to give it a go. I would like to support the adrenals so that I can try Armour thyroid again - which made me feel great for two weeks in the summer but then gave me awful side effects.
I have Jarrow formulas DHEA 10mg. I don't know whether to go straight in at this dose or try taking less.
I often have bad reactions to supplements. The tablets are powder inside a clear capsule that can be taken apart, so I thought I could try a small bit for a few days to see what happens.
Just wanting to hear others thoughts/experiences etc. I have heard from a few women who had problems with hormones and even breast cancer, but nothing from anyone who thought it was worthwhile.
I feel I need to try this treatment as I keep spending money on testing and doctors and then scaring myself of the treatments. It seems a terrible waste of money if I don't at least try (although all my experience so far has shown me that pretty much everything I try has an adverse effect either short or long term!!)
