Do you suppose that with kids etabolising hct differently then that if say they have their meds every 8 hourly (x3 times per day) that if androgen is excreted after say 6 - 8 hours, that some kids may be getting their needed small amounts of dhea in those windows there between one hct dose and another?  Especially if they are on a good maintenance dose.  Did you get anywhere asking about dhea supplements for Liam?   I know that they do have them and that adults to take them.  Is this when they have addisonians?
