Hi Lotus,
Thank you for your response! I've been lurking on your threads for a good while, I really appreciate the level of research you provide!
There was a range included, but my doctor told me many of the reference ranges aren't specific for biological women (includes hormone data from bio men). Which is why I'm wondering where I can find ranges that are specific to bio women.
I've struggled with mood swings, hair loss, and fatigue-- the hair loss and fatigue has improved a lot with NBE, but I still have mood swings. I think a lot of my hormonal problems were brought on by having an eating disorder for 4 years (I've been recovered for 3 years now), but I've also struggled with being a stressed out person since I was 14. Do you know what might lead to the elevated DHEA-S? Could it be the stress?
Another note: I grew several cup sizes last summer into fall, but my growth has stagnated and even regressed a little since November. This really sucks. Granted, I haven't been eating as much or been as consistent with my herbs and I've also struggled with depressed mood from time to time (though I wouldn't describe this as full on depression). How can I go back to growing?
