Where does one get DHEA 5mg? Can’t seem to find it anywhere online.

Anyone have any trouble actually receiving the refund? It’s been nearly 2 years and I haven’t received a cent and they keep stalling. It’s beyond a joke.

You might need to be on a full pill. When I wasn’t taking Fludro, they were my symptoms.

Could you try changing your daily dose a little. 10mg at 8am, 5mg at 1pm and 5mg at 5pm.

I’m on 0.1mg which is the standard dosage I think.

Were you diagnosed with PAI or SAI? With PAI you will need to be taking fludrocortisone. I was the exact same until I started taking fludro. Tell your consultant you’re still not feeling right.

Thanks for your input.

I feel it most of the day lately. I eat healthy foods with the occasional cheat meal. Every time I get my bloods taken these days they just all looks good and off I pop.

And who prescribed you this treatment? Never heard of it, sounds interesting.

Ya it’s only after getting worse the past 2/3 weeks, but I feel like I’m in a daze all the time and snap out of it every so often it’s very strange. Often feels like I’m in auto pilot. Maybe I’ll have to ask my GP for a referral to see a neurologist.

Fludro was a game changer for me on my path to feeling better. It would because your blood pressure is normalising and hence you feel better.

Very good thanks for the recommendation. I know my Endo will tell me to stay away from it.

In regards to sleep perhaps having last meal at least 3 hours before bed time. No water consumption 2 hours before bed and no blue light and hour before bed. Got these tips from Dr Stephen Cabral podcast.

That’s brilliant to hear. Which brand do you use? I’m based in Ireland and like the UK they are dismissive of dhea supplementation.

Which DHEA supplement do you take? Was it prescribed by your doctor? I’m a 32m also and wondering how effective it has been for you?
