Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 Nurse called me back and said that the doc just sent out my labs letter today with my last 3 tests and my DHEA level was 322 (65-380) the nurse said this was normal but was in the high range of normal. I asked about him recommending adrenal support in natural form because I wanted to know what would be healthy to take, dosage, etc. so he will either call me back today or Monday. I figure, if I at least get educated I can figure out what the hell is wrong with me. The nurse did say that for my labs that were high and low that they were okay and not to worry about the RBC or osmolality, calc. So, we'll see what the doc says about all that when he calls. She said I could take a supplement and bring it in so he could look at it but I would just rather have him recommend something so I don't have to go back and forth. I wanted something natural/dessicated, prescrip. or available over the counter. She did say btw, that over the counter adrenal support was pretty okay to take which shocked me a bit I guess because so many people blow it. I told her I was taking B complex along with my multivitamins. I figure that with the allergic reactions I have to so many things stimulating my adrenals that it might be a good idea to have support. Anything I should say to the doc?? Quote
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 Have you had cortisol test yet? Low cortisol can cause DHEA to go up. Ask for sex hormone tests. A high DHEA can sometime mean high testosterone and PCOS.
