STILL WORRIED ABOUT FUTURE AND PRESENT HEIGHT
3/11/00 9:00 PM
Hi Everyone, I have to post this about once every 4-6 months. Does anyone have any information about how tall these CAH kids can grow ,or could anyone who is an adult with CAH(salt-wasting)tell me how tall they are. Also, do the late-onset CAH folks have a better chance of growing to an average adult height. Has anyone used growth hormone,and if so what prompted the doctor to start this regimen? I do not see alot written on the board about this and our Endo says our 16 month-old will be "95%" of his so-called projected height as an adult. I don't think so!! Our son is the size of a 2 to 2 1/2 year-old now and I am very worried that it is due to his condition. But, the Endo says it is all genetics . I am 5'7" and my husband is 6'2" with a paternal grandfather who is 6'5". Any thoughts? Thanks!
