Dr thinks that taking the cortef for so long and not balancing out it with DHEA is main cause of alot of problems and also the elevated shbg and the Lp(a) levels and after thinking about it I agree. Cortef i tihnk was helping to control helping to keep the estrogen in check as well. Now drs wants me on DHEA 50 mgs a day and to reduce the cortef slowly and do a salvia test after being off for 2 weeks. Tapering slowly. So using the tcream was going straight to dht and not so much estrogen which is a good thing. We swithced creames and will retest in 2 weeks to see where dht and testosterone levels are to see if they made a difference. Dr checked my prostrate and said it feels slightly enlarged and suspects that from the DHT increase from the cream.

Could raising the DHEA be enough to also raise the testosterone a bit, but I am afraid that raising DHEA with testosteorne is going to boost up estrogen.

and if the testosterone is converting to dht that could result in lower over all testosterone as well possible too correct


Dr is going to run stool sample and leaky gut tests to access intestinal function. i think the drs starting to think I am a hypochondriac because why he was acting today. But the results will speak for them selves thats for sure. Low uric acid levels, elevated iron saturation he just blew off like it was nothing.

What is the consequences of low dhea? Can magnesium raise dhea, And can taking cortisol at physiological levels still produce all the nasty side effects if not balanced properly with DHEA?

You need to supplement your DHEA start with 2 - 25mgs pills a day and retest in 6 weeks.

You need your Free T3 and Free T4 checked low cortisol levels are a sine of low DHEA taking cortef does not cause it. IF anything it helps.

FT3 and Ft4 have been identifed above. They are low. I was taking extra copper and if I was copper toxcic could this have put extra stress on the adrenals and thryoid?

I am using sublingual dhea spray 12.5 mcgs do you think just get pharmacietucal grade dhea instead of playing the subligual stuff and really how much is 12.5 mgs subligual 25 mgs regular orally ?

Could the elevation of DHT put extra stress on the adrenals ?

Can one have a copper toxcity and not an estrogen imbalance is that possible ?

I have tested Zinc and Copper they did not do the Zinc test but did the copper test it was ok mid range so my Dr. told me this means my zinc is not to high because if it was my copper would be low. This is about all I know about Copper.
