Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 well, I went to labtestonline It says many things including pit tumor, but my DR doesn't seem too concerned. I am pretty sure that much with me has me going from Hashi to Graves. My antibodies for graves are way up. I also have low vitamin d. My friend who's student daughter tested low for vitamin d also had high dhea. Maybe one is compensating for the other. I wish I had a better answer, but am going to post the article next post from my dr. on vitamin d. Now he differs a bit from vitamin d council. Anyway, we drive everywhere and get less sun due to skin cancer so we make very little vitamin d. JAMY -- Re: DHEA Jamy,You mention high DHEA. What do you know about this?
