Lisa, My 15 1/2 month daughter was diagnosed 1 month ago. The only thing that I have noticed now that she is on the Cortef is that she is a much happier child. It is hard to expain since she was never unhappy, but I can just tell. I haven't talked with our ped endo about it yet, but my best guess is that she has just felt punk her entire life and never knew any better. JanetJanet
