Why can't they all just talk together instead of having us be the middle man. My DHEA levels were also extremely low so we decided to give it a try and see what happens. I definitely am feeling better but the medication, Cellcept, that I started is just starting to kick in so it is difficult to say whether it is the DHEA or the medication. I love my naturopath as he is great about getting back to me very quickly, unfortunately though he is located in Connecticut. Good luck finding one and make sure they specialize in autoimmune diseases. My naturopath has a website www.draieta.com that you could check out and contact him to see if he knows of anyone by you.LupusMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357962262023632190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719757570702637006.post-2910738503450647242010-08-18T17:36:24.247-04:002010-08-18T17:36:24.247-04:00Hi there, new to your site but found it in the Lup...Hi there, new to your site but found it in the Lupus magazine at the Lupus Foundation office in Tucson AZ. I am 34, diagnosed at 30 with SLE. Other complications rare flare up of medium vasculitis (med vessels inflammed), Sjogrens, Raynaud's, Hypothyroid...<br /><br />I am new to Alternative Therapies but my RHEUMY tested my DHEA levels and found I am low so she put me on 50mg a day. That's my Rheumy, mind you. Ive only been on it for 2 weeks so far...too soon to tell you results.<br /><br />My mom is seeing a Chinese Med/Acupuncturist who does not believe I should be taking DHEA. <br /><br />So... I am setting out to find a great Naturalpath/DO and Chinese Med person down here in Tucson and hopefully find a middle ground.Meg S.http://www.facebook.com/megan.m.slatterynoreply@blogger.com
