Thank you so much Lynn, I wish that my postings could always be good news for parents. In matters of health my news is amazingly good. Everyone is different but I think that I can say that CAH does not condemn a child to poor health. In my opinion it actually offers the potential for excellent health. BTW Shaun, In my previous post I had said I had taken my medication 2x per day for 45 years because I only remember for sure as far back as age 4 or 5 but I'm certain it was even longer than that. This is the kind of post I like to make. Joan
