Thanks, Jan. I'll just keep taking it with the Armour for now.

Hi Sara,

When I used to take two DHEA doses per day, I would just take them

at the same time as my Armour. Sounds like your energy is picking

up a bit, I'm happy to hear that :-)

Just looking at posts again after awhile away. Thanks, . That's

what I'm

doing with my DHEA, and it seems fine. Have had a very welcomed

uptick in

my energy over the last two weeks. I'm sort of stunned. Seemed to

happen

very quickly. Maybe the DHEA started to really kick in, or the

Armour, or both.

Solid sleep patterns now and I'm not sleeping as late, feel more

peaceful in

general. Mood is greatly elevated. I've been able to get out in the

car a bit with

hubby for errands. Spent the last two days supervising or helping

plant

flowers and tomato plants. The sun was wonderful, as was playing in

the mud.

Have been off the floor most of the time and can sit in a chair and

eat and go

through mail, watch tv, and can converse without getting exhausted.

Am trying

to watch myself, as I always tend to overdo it. But it just feels so

darned good

to have some hope again!

Oinking from the rooftops --
