You are describing traits which are identical to those of our 3 year-old saltwasting CAH child. The Endo emphatically says no, but I'm sure the steroids or some unknown factor of CAH has something to do with it. And I know what you mean, when they lose control, they can't let go of it. Although I must tell you that when our son was recently switched from liquid Cortef to the pill form, he has been a different child. Much sweeter and more in control. We are awaiting blood results, but I'm sure they have dropped from thier persistent 13,000 to below 200.
