Me, me, me! LOCAH very often causes PCOS, although it can also be misdiagnosed as PCOS. | |

I actually just discovered LOCAH a few days ago and it sounds more like me than PCOS. I have no cysts, yet a high testosterone level and some extra hair growth. But my pubic hair and eyebrows fall out and my fatigue is TERRIBLE. I also find that I can't exercise because it intensifies my symptoms 10 fold. Same with stress. Not sure if thats a symptom of LOCAH or not but I've never heard of it being a symptom of PCOS. | |

I am doing the labwork for this on Friday and Monday. I think I very possibly do have it. Can I ask you what your DHEAS is? Mine was 403 2 years ago and then I started Met in Jan and it came down to 360 in April. I am finally seeing an endo and we are run a ton of labs to find out what is really doing on. Do you get any side effects with the Dex?

I am waiting for my test results and a call from my Endo to find out what the heck is wrong with me - she says it could be PCOS or LOCAH. | |

For those of you taking Dex, can I ask what your dose is? I had my initial blood work this morning for testing and now I will be taking 2mg in the morning and evening for 3 days and then redo my Free Test and DHEAS. I was just wondering if I have to take Dex long term what my dose might be.
TIA
