RE: info on cushings---just FYI

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina,

thanks for the info. I don't really have many of those symptoms. My face

is not rounded and I don't have excess hair anywhere. I think I'm going to

find a new endo.

I thought that high levels of DHEA were good and that they decreased with

age. I'm so confused. Gracia mentioned things being off balanced.

Anyway I suspect that Cushings should be treated with DHEA and cortef.

Docs don't treat adrenal illness right. Don't worry, first try to get the

right amount of the right thyroid med. You don't take any T3 do you? It

can make a big difference.

I must of missed this reply somewhere---anyway high anything is

not good--we are looking for a balanced ratio!! this is the main

problem here with this illness ect. is finding the correct balance!!!

Even if you don't have symptoms of cushings---it's something to look

into--a high dhea without taking in any supplements that might cause

it is something to find out why---in your case it could be

compenstating for the lower hormones--but they are low because of the

time you took these test results--you need to retake your dhea test

before your period to see if they come down and the testosterone,

progesterone, estrogens go up before the Period starts--if dhea is

high still here at this time of the cycle---you have to look at other

reasons why.

One could be low cortisol, high dhea---adrenal problems---need

cortisol test to see.

and the other is cushings---just to be on the safe side it's best to

rule this out. jmo tina

Third thing could still be you getting back to normal after lactation-

-I would wait at least 3 months to get retested--and do it this time

a week before your period--this way you will know if your hormones

are working correctly!!!

but you got your period after stopping lactation this is a good sign--

your body is coming back to normal--your past test results could be

just off like I think because of it's just too soon to really know.

don't panic--just have some of this in your mind the next time you

test!!! and let us know what symptoms you are having right now so we

can have more info---anything else besides tired??? have you added in

any iron to your diet??? just in case??? tina

yes now I remember you said this before---sorry I forgot about this --

-still surprises me---but we found info before on this.

Still you have to get over the higher prolactin levels from lactating-

-and that has to do with the pituitary gland---Dec. to now Feb.---

need more time I still think so.

I remember my doctor telling me it takes 6 months to recover once I

finished B/F. but you know that was 20 years ago---wow huh!!!
