Hi, Just got results back of my hormones, my total testosterone is quite high(although it doesnt feel like it, lol), free testosterone was just below normal range, estrogen in mid range and my dhea levels were quite low.
I have taken dhea before but my original levels were higher when i started but did find it helped some as far as general wellbeing etc. So im going to take it again (50mg/day)and 4 weeks time have another blood test to see where everything is at.
I have read differing things on how dhea is metabolised into other hormones. What im hoping for is that it increases my free testosterone(and my athletic ability in the bedroom, lol), but have also read that it can increase estrogen levels as well, does anyone know if it does this by increasing total test which then aromatises into estrogen or does it directly increase estrogen.
Also anyones experience with this would be appreciated, especially blood test results after being on dhea. I know a few are sceptical of hormones in reguards to xmrv, but i think having them at an optimal level can only help with our condition, immune system etc.
cheers
