Thank you for all of your replies. I did not mean to start a war over terms. I just believe that we as a group of people can help each other. My heart goes out to all of the parents of children with CAH. I worry about my son having this later on like me. I do plan to have him tested. I can not image what you all must go through day in and day out. I only hope that by reading messages and learning I can help myself and maybe others. I have learned more in the last few days then I've known my whole life about CAH.susan
