Question regarding low cortisol, low pregnenalone and high DHEA

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone knows why I would have low cortisol, very low

pregnenalone and normal to high DHEA?

Also, the doc I'm seeing is trying to get me on 10 mg of pregenalone but it

has a very stimulatory effect. It feels almost like I drank 5 pots of

coffee. Does anyone have any input as to why this is?

Thanks,

Overstimulation is one of the side effects. Also page down for the Q & A. I can

only tolerate 2.5 mg twice a week, because I get heart palpitations on higher

doses, a known side effect. But it has done a good job of raising my

DHEA/testosterone.

I thought DHEA went high with adrenal fatigue.

Why you have low cortisol it can be from stress in your life or stress from

being sick due to low T. I don't do well on Pregnenolone pills even the kind

you put under your tounge. I feel like this and think it drives up my Estradiol

levels but I am going to try it again but in a cream.

Barb very good info thanks when I first tested my DHEA it was very low been like

this for over 25 yrs I would take DHEA at 25 mgs 2x's a day and just get up into

the low normal range. I then started treating my low Cortisol levels my DHEA

never moved but I then read this link.

In this they talk about how your Adrenals can make your body dump your sodium

and one needs to test there Aldosterone and Renin levels. I did and I was very

low so I went on Florinef .1 mgs in the morning with a 1/2 tsp of Sea Salt wow

did I feel better now I can work out side the heat of summer is not so hard on

me. And my DHEA and DHEA-S levels shot up past the top of the range. So I

stopped taking DHEA and my levels are up near the top of the range. I feel when

a hormone is off like Cortisol DHEA takes a big hit when the body trys to fix

the problem.

My DHEA has been super low every time we have tested it. Every time I try to

supplement it, however, I get really irritable, even on as little ad 10mg/day. I

took 50mg for a couple of days once and was close to enraged. I wonder if Dr.

will test aldo and renin for me?

Yes he will just talk to him about it but most don't feel this problem of

dumping sodium until they go on HC for low Cortisol then this shows it's ugly

head.
