Feeling Really Sick-help!

[Diane44]

Binks have you gotten any help? You do need to go to a Dr that will help you, this isn't right and you don't have to live like this. That is how I felt before my Addison's diagnosis. Maybe you need some Florinef (sp) to help you keep up your BP. Those feelings can be from being to low which you are too. I don't know where you live but I went to Mayo in Mn and they are wonderful there! Please go to a new Dr!

Thank you for you response. I really appreciate it. I was thinking the same thing. I increased my DHEA a little, that has helped somewhat. I will bring it up with a doc I see in a couple of weeks.

Hi Binks,

Please let us know how it turns out for you. I do hope you get some relief and feel better. Everyone deserves to feel well.

May I ask you how long you have taken DHEA? How much you take a day? Where you buy it? If you have noticed any side effects? I have Addisons and my Dr. recommended my taking it, I was/am worried about taking it because I thought it was more of a male hormone supplement than female. Now I am finding out that isn't necessarily true. I would be very interested in what you have to say.

I have been taking dhea for several years at different doses. The doses usually range from 5mg to 25 or 50mg. You can buy the supplement at health food stores, compounding pharmacies or your doctor's office, if they sell it.
