I've been hypo for a while, on 2 grains of NDT for the past 5 months. Temp & pulse are still not optimal.
Been feeling a little better the past few days though.
On my last 2 labs my DHEAS has been quite low. My doctor thinks I should probably start a DHEA supplement. But I'm tired of supplements & pills.
Is there anything else I can try, or is there a way to figure out "why" my DHEAS is so low?
I have plenty of cholesterol (244), 45 years old. Cortisol came back pretty decent except for a high evening reading.
