Tonia, I can sypathize with you on this one - as an adult with CAH I had similar reactions to the blood draws that all of you reference. I used to get myself so worked up that I would often times pass out from the stress of the whole situation. I can assure you that as I got older, it got better. I'm now 27 years old and don't cry or pass out anymore :) Rewards definitely worked with me, my mother used to let me pick out a small toy after every visit to the Endo and somehow looking forward to that reward helped me get through the whole ordeal. I never once blamed my mother for anything related to my CAH - so don't worry yourself about it. You’re a good mom who is just making sure her little one is ok.
