I haven't seen anything either, Danette; could be because we are really the first generation of salt-wasting CAH "survivors" (I don't know of anyone with salt-wasting CAH who is older than their early 40's, probably because of the relatively recent progress in diagnosis and treatment). I do get encouragement from talking with woman like you, that my child WILL grow up! My 2 yr old daughter was treated while still in the uterus, so won't need any surgeries, but I still wonder how she's going to deal with all the close genital scrutiny her whole life, the blood tests, etc. Let me know if you find any studies please; I'd be interested to know what they found out. Thanks and God's blessings to you!
