Hi, my name is Michelle.  Well, my mom finally bothered me enough to comeback to this site.  I posted here a long time ago.  Here's a little bit of my history.  I was diagnosed with CAH 21 hydroxylase with salt losing at birth. Throughout my entire life I've been going to see various endocrinologists.  I started out taking hydrocortisone and flourinef then I started taking prednisone but i got depressed from that so they switched me back to hydrocortisone.  However I have recently switched to a new medicine called dexametasone after quite a few mood swings I finally adjusted to it.  I like taking that medication a lot better because i only have to take it once a day and when i go in for blood tests my hormone levels are actaully normal as opposed to when i took the hrdrocortisone.  Well anyway now that i've probably bored you guys to death I just wanted to say that. If there's anyone out there with any questions just email me and i'll do my best to answer them. What would really be great is if someone around my age emailed me just to talk about our experiences in living with this. Hope everyone has a very merry Christmas! Thanks

Michelle
