May I ask how old you are, how long you have been taking DHEA and if you have had any side effects or positive effects? Have you ever had your DHEA tested?

Gemini or AI Assist says for my eye and bone conditions estradiol is not a cure all and because I have HBP - it's high even taking 3 meds for that the risks of stroke are real. I have a alternative TX tele med MD that insists I take pellet estradiol not the patch but my GYN and GP and AI assist say no - I an a stroke risk. Also very expensive. I only take standard 25 mg DHEA and no specific testing or side effects except I had DHEA tested years ago it was low normal and very low on female hormones. Age 76 . I distrust mega doses of any supplement without testing and MD monitoring. The alternative Texas MD had me on a mega dose of DHEA but he uses mega doses for everything. I stopped taking the high doses of supplements he prescribes. My osteoporosis is less of a worry presently than my macular degeneration.
