My 16 year old son has been battling for several years with high 17 OHP levels, now on a dose of h/c 112.5 mgs a day, in 6 doses and still has a 17 OHP level of over 17 000.   Have they done an androstenedione level as this will also show control?  Does he have a tanned look?  My son has all this and has lost over 40 lbs in weight, and feels ill - all symptoms  of very poor control.  They have just discovered though that he does not absorb the h/c from the tablet properly.
