Hi Nelly, the brand of DHEA I was prescribed a while back is made by

Pure Encapsulations. You can order from:

http://www.purecaps.com/

I also believe that some women have had good results supplementing

with the lowest dose of transdermal testosterone. Probably the kind

of thing you need to do under close medical supervision, with

hormone monitoring.

I think I got a much bigger whammy with this latest round of Babesia

treatment thanks to the testosterone I'm taking, in the form of

Angrogel.

Nelly, I am ordering this week also. My dose of DHEA is probably

more than you would need, as you are probably still making it. Have

you had your level tested?

Also my MD suggest going with a larger dose of pregnenalone and a

smaller dose of DHEA. Sometimes when drugs convert to other things,

I want the short cut and just go to the end result, but have learned

so so much.

The human body is such a miracle. I read somewhere of the tiny

amounts that some glands produce at certain times of the day and

other glands depend upon that teaspoon full in order to produce

their dose. When ever I think of the endocrine system I think of

this childs game where you start at the top and drop a marble in a

slot and watch it roll down at each turn implementing some other

function.....i.e. a pendulum swings and knocks over a cup of water,

etc. etc

I wish I had been educated in these things a long time ago. They say

that the american citizen just wants a pill to get better, but that

is what they taught us to expect. I would gladly take my care into

my own hands if I were well enough to do the work and gain the

knowledge. I am beginnng to understand how my disease process went,

but if the doctor won't buy into it then I'm up sh** creek without a

paddle.

I hope many read this end note, but I wanted tosay that when you go

into adrenal crisis, really the beginning stages of the adrenal

shutting down, I got hypoglycemia real bad. A pinch of sugar on my

tongue would throw me into a stupor. I've looked over the adrenal

symptoms and I had them all in classic form and yet the first

doctors refused to do cortisol tests. By the time they did, my level

was at 0.1. It took four days of sleep to build up enough cortisol

to be awake for one day. Excellent book is The Adrenal Insufficiency

the 21st century syndrome. I think that is what it is called, I'll

go check.

Hi Peg,

I don't post much anymore but after reading your most recent post I

just wanted you to know that any legitimate health professional can

order Metagenics products. I sold them in my myofascial practice for

years and still use them myself. If you know what you want, try

calling around to chiropractors in your area. Most will be willing to

sell them to you without a visit.

Sorry you have suffered so much. Don't you just love doctors? I am

very lucky to have found one that understands my illness (CFIDS/Lyme)

and works with me. Unfortuantely, like all the others, he doesn't

have the cure. I also had peritonitis, mine was from a botched

appendectomy. It was the worst experience of my life. The stupid docs

didn't think I was sick till I was almost dead.

, thanks for the reply. I will see if I can muster up some

metagenics support around town and see if I can get the ultra

products. My daughter in law is manager for Baylor University's Stem

Cell Research and Bone Marrow Center. Can she order them for me?

Ah, yes, peritonitis what a lovely, lovely way to go. In the olden

days if you really wanted to make a cowboy suffer, you shot him in

the stomach because it is such a horrible death. I told them and

told them something was wrong, but my white count didn't go up past

8,000, so they sent me home. Me too, by the time the holes showed up

on the cat scan, I was already in a coma about six hours away from

the end, they said. Who knows, I just know that was the most

horrendous pain a soul could ever, ever experience. You cannot even

imagine how bad if you thought of the worst possible pain, you

wouldn't touch it. Am I right?

The real crime is the low limits that a surgeon has to have in

malpractice to operate in the state of texas. He only has to cover

100K in malpractice. That is a sad state of affairs when we are only

worth 100K to them.

Be well.

Peg

Thanks for the tips...
