My son has CAH non-salt-wasting, he was diagnosed at birth.  He is now 7 and we have had no problems with the cortef.  When he was about 11 months there was a solu-cortef shortage and we switched to the pills,  it’s been great.  So easy, at first, we crushed the pills up and mixed with a little water.  Then one day, we were out somewhere and didn’t get back home in time so we gave the pill to Mathew and he just chewed it up.  That’s what we’ve done ever since.  Even when he is asleep, he chews them.  When I first found out about his condition, I was devistated,  now it’s just a part of life.  He plays sports, t-ball, soccer, swim team-- he was the fastest 6 year old swimmer in our conference last year.  If you have any other questions,  feel free to e-mail me direct.  Have a great holiday season.
