Im 5’10" and I’m built very large while everyone else in my family is relatively thin Thats the reason why I feel different.  I always thought that my bulk was some sort of side effect.  I gain weight easily (muscle and fat) and have stretch marks around my arms/shoulders/chest.  I had belived that this was from the prednisone but now I have no clue.  Also the hair on my head has become so thin and has fallen out that I look sick (but I shave my head anyways so thats alright ;))

I can’t say that I’ve actually felt different from CAH, itself.  I just accepted it as part of the hand I was delt, as corny as that may sound.  I hope that makes sense. If not just yell at me, hehe ;)
