MomtoGiuliana Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hey Nikigrl--you and I had a dialogue on this before...http://dinet.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=7465I think your doctor needs to answer your concerns about DHEA levels and symptoms. I don't think anyone can explain your lab results/symptoms on the internet.Unfortunately there are not a lot of "solid answers" for POTS at this time.Hang in there,Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
