It's amazing how complex this illness is; many times I've received benefit from something only to find it kick off something else. It's great, though, that small doses are helping you.
In my research of pregnenolone, normal dosages were in the 50-100mg and sometimes higher, but if u can get 1-2mg doses that sounds like a good dosage to start with and can adjust upwards from there. I have read articles from ray sahelian and he seems very conservative in his dosing compared to others docs, but being conservative is good in cfs.Thanks for the report!! Actually I was planning to take 1 to 2 mg (that is recommended for long term use: see also http://www.raysahelian.com/pregnenolone.html)
10 mg sounds very high !
Yes my hormones are very low .. Hmm I've got good feelings on this one ...
Yeah, I'm beginning to think maybe I should just stop all my supplementsIt's amazing how complex this illness is; many times I've received benefit from something only to find it kick off something else. It's great, though, that small doses are helping you.
There's another thread discussing that:http://www.endfatigue.com/health_ar...w_treatment_for_chronic_fatigue_syndrome.html
Hi, wondered if anyone else had seen this out today, saying CoQ10, pregnenolone and statins are the answer for treating latent viral infections. Teitelbaum says try 100mg pregnenolone for 3 months, which seems a massive dose just to try for the heck of it. Any thoughts?
