I knew any legitimate discussion as to the causes of fatigue would be blasted on a forum like this.

1. Cortisol fluctuates throughout the day. We know this, and it is nearly impossible to mimic our body's cortisol production, though we try in people who need it. Know what happens when you take exogenous cortisol as a normal person? The adrenals are negatively inhibited and start to atrophy. Same goes for exogenous thyroid, testosterone, and other hormones. Long story short- don't **** with hormones or the glands that produce them will say "**** this guy!" and quit on you.
2. DHEA and cortisol are in different adrenal pathways. One is a androgens precursor, while the other is a glucocorticoid. How you can spin the two as being intimately related besides having cholesterol as a common precursor is beyond me. Only time it comes into play is when congenital adrenal enzyme deficiencies are present, and those are rare as ****.
