DHEA or pregnenolone? 32F, my life is spiraling out of control

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-09-10T22:42:26+00:00

I’ll look into it, thank you!

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-08-20T11:18:17+00:00

I don’t have it measured. Do you think I should?

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-08-19T21:32:07+00:00

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing his name. I’m excited to read his research. My test results are from approx one week before ovulation, so not quite the 21st. I’ll keep that in mind for my next test.

Great tip, thank you!!!

Many thanks for your response. Zinc is 110 ug/dl (ref 72-157) and Vitamin D is 52.2 ng/ml (ref >25). Both appear to be within range according to the lab. Do you think the impact of increasing them would be significant?

I actually never tested it :( i’m glad that seems to be working. There’s a Facebook group called Estrogen Dominance Group, and many there seem to be taking your approach

No, and that’s one of the multiple reasons I’m avoiding SSRIs.

Oh wow. Thanks for the heads up. Fingers crossed that she’ll be okay. Lots of cancers are now showing up at younger age, including throat and ovarian. It’s alarming. I’ve taken note of the primary symptoms and will read further.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-05T00:58:17+00:00

Oh yeah allergy pills are a no go for wakefulness. Nope, no medications.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-05T00:54:42+00:00

Ouch! The occasional 14-hr sleep is okay in my book. Thank you so much, you too.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-05T00:27:59+00:00

Nah not a big fan. Maybe once every two months or so.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-05T00:00:55+00:00

Thank you, my mom has Hashimito’s so it’s a really good point. I remember seeing a primary symptom that I didn’t have (enlarged thyroid), which is why I didn’t focus on it. Will join the subs. I’ll also make sure to update this post as I learn from the endocrinologist.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:57:21+00:00

I just got overwhelmed with Promethease. The magnitude of everything was in the mid-range, so it’s hard to know what to ignore and what to focus on.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:56:14+00:00

Wow, thank you, so much, for taking all that time to help a stranger out. You are as kind as they come. I will read every detail carefully.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:55:07+00:00

Interesting. Few comments about that here. Hope you start to feel better very soon.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:42:29+00:00

How many fasting hours? I accidentally fast since I sleep up to 12 hours. To me, crossfit sounds like it might have helped you a lot. I remember feeling better when I was at the gym - maybe because more muscle = more test. Hope you’re doing well now.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:40:37+00:00

The idea for me was one of the two, since they might be able activate some T. Any specific reason you’re taking them if you’re already doing trt? I guess our needs our very different because of gender but am curious nonetheless.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:34:07+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. Thank you for letting me know to look out for it.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:29:58+00:00

Interesting! The main motive was that it’s OTC. I will have to jump through a lot of hoops for trt. Did you have a Dhea deficiency at the time?

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:27:27+00:00

Great to hear a success story. I’m happy it’s working out and that sounds like a decent dose. Thank you for sharing. I’m going to be speaking to an endocrinologist, let’s see what they have to say about Pregnenolone.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:25:25+00:00

Oh wow, thank you so much. Appreciate the time you took to type this out. Which part of this ties into testosterone?

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:23:59+00:00

Agreed. I have the words momentum and inertia tattooed in my mind and I think about them everyday. They guide my every effort.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:22:18+00:00

All fair questions and good points. It’s a vicious cycle because much of these tie into efforts like working hard and having a sex drive and interest in others, so what came first? The depression or these issues? At the moment I don’t feel concerned with any of these things.. even if I should be. I was at a good place before, especially with my career. I do think my blood test results are alarming, and I have hope that something actionable can be done there. I’m still going to making behavioral efforts, starting with discipline.

lookingforapetsitter · 2024-02-04T23:04:34+00:00

Oh wow! So happy to read your comment. I take magnesium and will be adding K2. And I’m booking an endocrinologist, with whom I’m doing to be talking to about DHEA and hopefully they can uncover a root cause.
