I have used BHRT creams (estradiol, testosterone) and progesterone oral capsules) since 2018. Recently learning about Peat's work I now understand the dangers of estrogen and have come off all of these compounded bioidenticals and am shifting to using progesterone. I have been using IdeaLabs CortiNon for about 4 weeks. Just listened to Georgi Dinkov's most recent interview with Dr. Mercola and feel like perhaps I would benefit from adding Pregnenolone and more pure Progesterone (factoring in the amount of progesterone I am getting from the CortiNon when dosing).
I am awaiting some tests but feel I may have Rheumatoid Arthritis progression and heard that 30mg of Progesterone can halt symptoms (along with dietary changes, etc).
I am hoping to get some advice on the following questions:
1. Would Progesterone (20 to 30mg daily) help me with possible RA?
2. If I take Pregnenolone will this turn into any deficiencies I may have of testosterone, and DHEA or other hormones I may be low on?
3. If I take Pregnenolone and pure Progesterone, do I need to take CortiNon for the DHEA anymore?
4. I heard Dinkov suggest doses for Progesterone and Pregnenolone in the interview. Is there anything else I should keep in mind when dosing? I realize I need to be careful with all of this.
5. Does anyone here, had any positive results with regression of healing of RA symptoms (joint pain that comes and goes in acuteness but is always present, even when decreased pain) from taking Progesterone and/or Pregnenolone?
Thank you for your help! I feel rather lost right now in my journey to self-heal. And no doc I have visited knows a damn thing about any of this!
