I posted not too long ago something that one of my doctors told me. He said that he had been taught in med school that we shouldn't ignore the possibility of carriers of a disorder exhibiting signs and symptoms of the actual disorder itself. As with CAH, our bodies only make half the amount of cortisol as someone who is not a carrier. The old way of thinking was that this shouldn't make a difference and that half would most certainly be enough to sustain a carrier with no problems. Recently it has been discovered that many, many carriers seem to experience the same or very similar symptoms as they would if they actually had CAH. My doctor said that this was stated to him as fact and that it was even more common in those who had been through a trauma, extremely emotional situation or those who are approaching or have passed mid life. Needless to say, our daily lives have become much more stressful in general since the original opinion was formed more than 50 years ago. I did a little survey a while back and asked how many carriers had symptoms of CAH and was overwhelmed by the response. Anxiety, panic attacks, excessive sweating, hirtsuism, difficulty handling stress and depression were among the most common symptoms that had been experienced during their lifetime. Many people expressed the fact that they had been experiencing these symptoms since childhood. These are not necessarily symptoms that would be experienced to this extreme by the average individual so I find it very interesting that the problems I had experienced as an adolescent (before knowing anything about CAH or being a carrier) mimiced those of persons with CAH. This could be the situation with your 10 year old daughter. Perhaps you can bring this up to your doctor, or, do some research into this theory from more recent data. Maybe some of the carriers on this board would be kind enough to share some of the symptoms and experiences, if any, that they had in their lifetime. This subject just happens to be one of the aspects of CAH that I believe deserves more research. I hope this post has helped you in some small way and I look forward to the generous responses of others.
