A member asked:

Will my dhea/ dheas return to normal (pre-steroid) after weaning off a glucocorticoid, or will it stay suppressed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't : Worry about the level. It's not of any significance and won't cause you any harm. Dheas is only of concern when it's highly elevated. It's just slightly low due to your glucocorticoid. There's nothing wrong.
