DHEAS & 'Dex Test' From: Chris (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 17 Jan 2002 15:41:28 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Alexis: "Re: On Oprah today..." Previous message: Belle: "Re: confused about PCOS" Next in thread: Belle: "Re: DHEAS & 'Dex Test'" Reply: Belle: "Re: DHEAS & 'Dex Test'" Hi Ladies- ANOTHER doctor, and ANOTHER completely different set of "facts" and philosophies about PCOS. Here's the latest...three months ago, my DHEAS was high (400 pg/ml) and Dr. A put me on spiro 100 mg/day, told me to come back in 6 months. Yesterday, Dr. B says we need to determine whether the DHEAS is ovarian or adrenal in origin by doing a dex test. He says that if it's adrenal, 3 months on Decadron will "fix" it, and I will not have to take a med to lower my DHEAS for the rest of my life. 3 months of anything sounds better than a lifetime of spironolactone. So what's your take on this? Is this legit? If so, why did Dr. A not mention it and put me on spiro? And explain to me how ten different doctors say ten totally different things!!?!?!?!?!? Ugh! Thanks so much for your advice. Love, Chris Next message: Alexis: "Re: On Oprah today..."
