As I was saying I was diagnosed with CAH from birth. I was a strong child and very active. I was then given a drug called androcur to stop my bone age getting out of control. Adolesence was probably the hardest part for me as I went from being an active child and strong to all the people around me overtaking me in height and energy. I put on a lot of weight during adolesence and was rather down about the condition. I have an older sister with the condition also but we do not get on, during adolesence we fought all the time. My parents have always been supportive though and I have mended some bridges with my sister as I have matured. Once out of adolesence I basically take my meds and get on with life. I enjoy sports like swimming and cycling but could not do contact sports at school. I enjoy socialising and drinking and am fine on booze as long as I do not go over the top. I have a few close friends who are great to me and understand the condition. A few years ago I got a shock when a doctor abroad asked if I had ever had a sperm count, it was news to me that I would even need one. This upset me although I was reassured by my endo at home who said he saw no reason why I could not have children. Your kids can and should lead as normal a life as possible although adolesence is the hardest time with all the changes associated with it. I have had a few sexual relationships with women and am hetrosexual but I have never been able to build a relationship beyond a few months, still I feel young enough yet not to worry too much. Hope this is of some help.
