Long story short, around 10 years ago I took a supplement called 7-keto dhea which gave me panic attacks, and I have had issues ever since. This was the only test I could find that tested for that hormone metabolite. Although I'm a lot better than I was 10 years ago I'm still suffering from the following issues.

  • Fatigue In the afternoon time, sometimes falling asleep around 8/9 pm without trying
  • Cannot wear contacts anymore
  • Unexplainable skin hypersensitivity. (doesn't hurt, it's just really annoying)
  • Brain fog, especially when I don't eat for a while or sleep well
  • Low libido
  • Hypoglycemic symptoms even though blood sugar is fine.
I've done a myriad of other blood tests other than this and markers that are always consistent off are

  • High Dhea Sulfate
  • High Progesterone
  • Low Estrogens
I've been to several doctors, and none have really been any help. I'm just not sure where to go from here.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
