[QUOTE="Shawn, post: 278264, member: 15946"] i did mention i took trenbolone. this "steroid" which doesn't deserve to be even called one, seems like it damaged my adrenal cortex to a degree. the cortex produces cortisol, aldosterone and DHEA. my aldosterone tested bottom range and so did DHEA. cortisol comes back perfect but maybe that is due to 2 theories. the first theory is that the tren, being a strong androgen, targeted (and damaged) mostly the DHEA cells in the adrenal cortex but also did slightly damage cells that produce aldosterone and some cortisol since my cortisol metabolites were very low (so were DHEA metabolites) via the DUTCH test. even serum was low for DHEA. tested cortisol twice with perfect free levels. if this theory is true, i need to use DHEA (that may lower my cortisol so i would need to add licorice root to prevent that). the 2nd theory is that it damaged all cells evenly, but since the body has a priority to produce cortisol for survival, it "steals" it from most of the DHEA production. when it gets enough for its survival, so long as i keep my stress levels as low as possible by basically having no life, then it produces what little DHEA i do produce. but i'm not sure and nobody will know for at least a couple hundred more years [/QUOTE]
