My DHEA level is sky rocketing!!!

Normal levels on my panel were 14 - 224. I am currently at 439. This level is wreaking havoc on my hormone system. My estrogen and progesterone are also really high. I'm not ovulating at all and have adreanal fatigue. Am I in early menopause? I'm only 27. Please help me!! My doctor has tried the following and results are listed.

Depot Lupron and Depo P - My pituitary gland does not function correctly anymore, causing my hormone dysfunction to worsen. I do NOT recommend these to anyone.

PIll B.C. - irregular bleeding and severe mood swings

HRT - Increased cyst activity and mood swings

Bio-identical hormones - I suffer from estrogen dominance, thus this made all of my syptoms worse

progesterone - did not help, made me feel crazy...almost violent.

After this last panel, I'm begining to lose hope. I really do not like to be medicated.

i have had doctors tell me its all in my head, that I want to be in pain, that it's all for attention. I just want it to stop. Even a kind word would be nice. I'm at a breaking point with this.

Hi...I feel for you...it takes a while to find a doctor that is conversant with these things...have you looked for an andrologist (ant-aging doctor)? These people know about the inner chemistry in the body in a way that other doctors tend not to know. Don't be put off by the name (anti-aging), it simply means that they look at the body from the point of view of its aging, and that begins when you are born...

I live in southern Spain and had to search high and low until I found a few doctors who are in this specialty. The international association of anti-aging doctors also may have some information for your area of the world.

I have some stuff about it on my website and blog, but it's merely informative. (www.advancedpersonaltherapy.com and http://psychologytransformationfreed...blogspot.com/).

Good luck,

Gabriella

I am currently seeing a homeopathic dr. He has helped me more than any other dr I have had. He found my non-funtioning pituitary and adrenal gland. Other drs tried to tell me i had chronic fatigue and depression, but my adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalance is what has caused my problems. Is it possible to force your body back into a normal cycle? My dr has upped my progesterone to try and force my estrogen to cycle normally. will this help or continue to make me crazy?

Hi, I don't know if that is the right way to go, all I know, is that it does sound as though your homeopathic doctor is a lot closer to the truth than the doctors who have told you it's all in your head. Try looking at the Suzanne Somers book "Aging", she has a pretty good list of resources at the end, because maybe there is a doctor from her lists in your city.
Whatever you do, don't give up!
