Re: DHTA

Has anyone heard of a medication (I believe it is Rx but I could be

wrong) identified by the initials: DHTA.

I am under the impression it is a hormone of some sort. Apparently it is

used for the fatigue associated with fibromyalgia. Can't seem to find

any info on the web. Thanks.

Are you sure you are not talking about DHEA - this is a natural hormone used

for increased energy, however lots of precautions go along with its use...

Barry,

I have had success with both DHEA and pregnenolone for depression and for

the energy to get out of bed in the morning. My new rheumatologist did not

prescribe these (they are available without prescription at health food

stores and some drugstores), but she goes along with my choice, since my

bloodwork bears out their effectiveness--in my case. There is a very good

recent (11/15/00) article on the medscape.com website (search for DHEA on

their search option at the bottom of the page). It pays to do your own

research, since rheumatologists don't always respond to the latest

scholarship in their field. My former rheumatologist diagnosed me with

osteoarthritis and/or fibromyalgia and refused to consider any inflammatory

arthritis symptoms.
