I was up until about a month ago, I was taking the 7-KETO and this confirms what

I felt from it., it did nothing for me. I will be starting the regular DHEA

again as well.

Hi Val,

When you had those elevated Noon and PM Cortisol

levels a year ago, did you cut back on the HC for

those two times of the day?

No because I knew the labs are not accurate while on HC. In fact I added in

another r10MG of HC bringing my total to 30MG a day by symptoms soon after those

labs.

>>You added cortisol............to bring your ACTH down? <<

No I was dosing my HC purely by symptoms as the labs while ON HC are not

accurate. But it is possible it did bring ACTH down, thus lowering my cortisol

to more normal levels.

I started on regular DHEA a couple of months ago and it will be interesting

also, when I get my new ASI when I come off the h.c, to see what my levels of

borth cortisol and DHEA are.

It is so helpful to see yours.

Mo

The labs from a year ago I wa ON HC, but needed thyroid labs which was my main

reason for doing the CC testing.

>> did you stop the DHEA before the labs and if so how long before?<<

Last year I had been off DHEA for at least 4 months when I tested and I started

it again as soon as I saw the low levels, but then this year due to having felt

my sex hormones were ogod, I had traded in the regular DHEA for the 7-KETO which

I took up until I came off HC, when I stopped it too. I will be starting the

regular DHEA in the AM too.
