I really want to say thanks to you all for starting the message boards. I have found it them a great help. It is lovely to read all the messages and feel that we are all part of one great big family. I am 42 and have learnt a lot from the net and these pages. I am studying nursing here in Australia - in my last year to become a registered nurse - never did I think that I would become an RN as I have CAH but here I am. As part of one of my assignments I am doing a seminar on chronic illness and I really realise how much these notice boards and support groups are needed. Until I got the net 13 months ago I didn't know that there was a support group in Australia - so much for our "wonderful" doctors. Many thanks once again for all the help provided. Fiona.
