[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 66440, member: 972"] No I do not know why DHEA makes us feel good... I read so much from so many hormone specialists that I've picked this up from. Now whats important to remember is my natural DHEA-S was very low, in fact it was way under range so it's no surprise it helped me. I'm sure there are many people out there who supplement it without knowing their level and this could do the opposite. So if you know what your DHEA is then you would be in a position to know whether you need some or not. The high E2 estradiol is another issue. Some of us it goes very high. I have this problem too so I have to take anastrozle (arimidex) to keep it under control. It sounds like you don't take anything for it. I found the effects of high E2 quite painful.. from burning tears in my eyes to sore irritated nipples and of course I also have gynecomastia, growing breasts etc. I felt so much better when I able to get my E2 under control. I had very high E2 before I started HRT. It was 90. and not one MD in any hospital even noticed it... yet my hormone MD saw it immediately (once I found him). I would say yes that DHEA can raise E2 slightly because it is an androgen. As Nelson says the key is properly managing your protocol and in this case I think you may need to take something for it. Also keep in mind you are on gel and that is the easiest on E2. If you had to go on Test Cyp injections your E2 would rise even more. So the fact you are on gel and your E2 is too high means that perhaps your E2 was too high before TRT? Anyways it's definitely a top priority in managing your protocol. [/QUOTE]
