> Could you tell me what the S in DHEA/S is?DHEA/S is the sulphate of DHEA. It's really not too important in the discussion so far, but it does tell you a little bit about how well your body is utilizing DHEA.
>I have never had my levels of cortisol tested and am thinking maybe this is a good idea along with my DHEA.
It can help you determine how well your adrenal glands are functioning.

Selenium, too. Helps keep thyroid hormones happening.

> johnjHey John. One day at a time. For two years I've gone boom every other month, but I still can say that I'm growing more resilient over time. My first experience with over-exertion came after I fought with everything I had to meet a deadline for a report I was writing. I didn't make it. And, it took me eighteen months before I could do much of anything.
One theorist who advises CFS sufferers suggests that the rest must be proportional to the exertion (just as I've found in my own experience). Push for a week, rest for a week. Ya know? When you feel good, act. When you don't, rest.
