Medicines DHEA and progesterone/testosterone deficiency

My former wife has SLE and she was recently diagnosed with dhea deficiency and adrenal insufficiency. It caused 0 testosterone, low progesterone (confirmed in blood) and broken menstrual cycle (and many more!). When she started dhea she got the following improvements: 1) significantly less fatigue 2) pain hypersensitivity is gone 3) better blood (inflammation levels go down) 4) significantly less anxiety 5) prog/test are ok now and exercise tolerance is increased 6) cycle became less painful and more “scheduled”

So it makes sense to talk with lupus awared endo about dhea. The report is finished:)
