I have been going to the Amen clinic for about a year now. I had a brain scan done there in Dec 08 and it was very expensive. I do like the DR. I am seeing there but I have some concerns in his understanding of my injury. He has put me on some MEDs that were very harmful to me and my Neurologist said that at that dose it could kill me.
Anyway we decided to do a Neurotransmitter test to check out my DHEA levels the test cost me 500.00 my insurance would not pay for it, but I decided to do it. I got the results back and My DR. said my DHEA was very low and I needed to take DHEA supplements, he said just go to the health food store and get 10-25 mg did say how often or what kind.
I was very disappointed because the Neuro test had recomcondations for me to take, I am just little worried with all my sensitizes to anything that even a little DHEA will send me over the edge. I have trauma induced seizures. And I am overwhelmed by everything, noise lights, movement, and stress.
I have tried to take several different supplements and have had a reaction to all
The most interesting thing I got out of the Brain scan at the Amen Clinic is that my brain is acting like an ADD Brain, my resting brain is working, and my working brain is resting.
It was actually my Neurologist that figured out that the sedatives they had me on for 3 years was actually making my brain hyper and she put me on Ritalin and it did calm my brain down but the side effects a nasty.
So I just worried that adding a hormone in the mixed will react in a strange way.
Has anyone had results with DHEA and any suggestion on a good DHEA supplement?
