Adding DHEA/Prognenolone to Cortef for adrenal support?

[Guest guest]

Hello all. I am considering adding some DHEA to further support my

adrenals. My doctor suggested prognenolone as well. From

experiences of other people, i got that sometimes when

DHEA/prognenolone is added, this combination could allow the person

to be able to tolerate thyroid medication (i think because adrenals

are further supported).

Anybody on this forum takes DHEA and/or prognenolone to support the

adrenals? How does it affect your ability to tolerate thyroid meds?

Please share your experiences.

I am on 17.5 mg of Cortef daily and am able to tolerate only 10 mcg

of T3, can not tolerate Armour/T4 at all.

Dr.Hertoghe in the book " the hormone solution " on p.263 also says

that " most people should take DHEA

together with cortisol because it helps keep the activity of the

cortisol in balance " .

Thanks,

ALex
