Hi everyone,
Several weeks ago I asked some questions about bio-identical hormones to
treat low thyroid. The mom I am working with went on said hormones and also
a pregneolone/DHEA supplement: We have a potential problem - please read
her note to me. I am asking for any information as I haven't been able to
find any on my own and I'd really like to be able to prevent an early
weaning if possible. Thanks in advance!

hi jaye -
i wanted to give you an update on the pregnenolone/DHEA supplement i'm
taking and it's possible effects on Evie's sleep. i spoke with her
pediatrician late friday after talking with you, and he said of all the meds
i'm taking that would be the likely culprit (DHEA is a big energy booster
and can make a "normal" person fidgety and irritable). he proposed i stop
taking it for a week, see if anything improves, and if so, start taking it
again to verify it's the meds and not a coincidence.
results: i stopped, things returned to normal, i started again monday and
last night and today have sucked. so i won't take it again until i have a
chance to discuss weaning with you. those 2 weeks i was on it was almost
heavenly. i slept well and actually woke up refreshed. it made a huge
difference in my mood and ability to get outside and be active with Evelyn.
i'm not sure if i'm strong enough to cut her off cold turkey, so i was
curious about my options and your opinion. you mentioned a supplement to
stop lactation? should i call you or would you like to meet for coffee to
talk? AND, is this type of information free or considered a paid
consultation? i don't want to take advantage of you or your knowledge!
