It is refreshing to see an honest reply and I respect you for it.  Of course we are all aware that there is always someone a lot worse off than ourselves but I cannot believe anyone would think nothing of having a chronic medical condition, requiring lifelong medication not to mention surgical intervention, which is bound to have a detrimental effect on your life. It is all very well to be optimistic and I know that you are coping well with your burden but you deserve congratulations, not the patronizing comments posted here.  Good luck to you Aimee and thank you for sharing your true feelings, which I am sure are shared by many others with CAH.
