i’ve never been really aware of what CAH is all about until a couple of years back, because my parents never did talk much about it, other than i MUST remember to take my medication (5mg prednisolone; have been on it since 12) else it would be bad for me. in fact, i found out what CAH is from the internet.

i’m now 30 and just saw an endo for the first time in my life. i realised that a few postings here talk about missing dosages and the danger of missing it. 

because of the little i knew about CAH i was very careless with taking my medication.  i’ve gone without it (literally forgot about it) for weeks in a row many, many times in my life.  when i told this to my doc she was surprised that i was still in one piece.  i’ve also had a knee injury where i needed a surgery.

my doc is now wondering if i actually don’t need to take that much prednisolone everyday, since in the past i was able to go without it for weeks.

has anyone ever experienced missing dosages and still feel ok?
