Thanks! I'll ask my doctor to test me.

If I don't have full-on Addison's, would the Labcorp or Quest tests show abnormal?

Or should I go with an alternative lab?


Though I will probably take the Labcorp test first, but wondering if it comes back normal, if anything else is more sensitive.

We used Labcorp and my test showed it was just low. I don't have Addison's, so I would say, yes, if it is just low it will still show it.

I imagine Quest would, too.

By low, do you mean out of range?

Thank you!

A regular lab should show it regardless of whether you have Addison's, and your doc can help interpret whether it's optimal for you. Just make sure it's DHEA-S and not just DHEA.
