Just be glad they haven't found anything and I'm sure they will keep a close check on you with you DHEA elevated but I can certainly see how the doctor's remark made you think.

This may not make any sense to you, but my hair is very important to me. Before I dyed it and figured out how to really take care of it, people made fun of the way I looked; I was ugly. Afterwards, I was suddenly pretty. I know it's ridiculous, but it's the way it is.

You would think, but I don't believe doctors are all that competent. I mean, they refuse to try to find some other reason that my DHEA is high. Luckily, if I can find another doctor in the state I actually live in that's covered by insurance, I can just switch. I mean, it was all kind of a joke to her. To me, it's not a joke. Almost everyone in my family died way too young of cancer/leukemia. I was always the only one who didn't have grandparents because they had all died before I had even grown up.
