Please don’t laugh at my questions.  They may look silly to you but CAH is still quite fresh to me and I don’t have too much experience of my own yet.  I want to know:  Do children with CAH get dehydrated quickly?  Do they need to drink more often than others?  Can crying or sweating dehydrate them?  Is too much heat or an overcrowded, stuffy room a threat to them?  What can happen if yes?  Can it cause an adrenal crisis?
