I take .375 now like you did. I goofed on the numbers above, what  I meant was what a big difference in side affects there is between .375 and .5

.5mg no sex drive, fluid retention, very dry skin, inability to sweat well, weight gain, chipmunk cheeks, overheated easily believe it or not, insomnia...if I am remember them all, I’m sure I’ll think of some more later :o)

.375 sex drive back some, I would like to say I have no fluid rention but at least I don’t leave indentations  in my skin after pressing on it. I actually havent lost weight, but I’m not full as I was. I certainly don’t feel anorexic.  I can last through 2 aerobic classes consecutively.

I do feel that befor I had my gallbladder surgery I was going down hill working at the spa all day long. I did lose a few lbs and my eyes were sunken in. I would come home and crash from exhaustion after doing 6 to 8 massages and still push myself to work out. CRAZY! anyway then I had the surgery and all that I went through afterwards, I wasn’t taking as much dex as I should have, because I felt it was because of the dex I was going through what I did. Too much dex does make me close to psychotic. By the way I still feel like I have a stone in my bile duct, or something I also had to take antibiotics for 2 weeks for H pylori-yuck.

 Thats weird for your 17 ohp to go from 70 to 1100, without a reason. 70 was too low, and you got there on .375?  wow.  I feel as you do, I am either a mild classic or a severe locah, but you couldn’t tell by looking at me :o) also my periods were always like clockwork. I want to have my labs done again, do you have your dhea-s drawn too? when my 17 ohp was 621 Dhea-s was very low, but I’m thinking that is to be expected, I read it somewhere. Maybe I’ll quit procrastinating and make a phone call to this adrenal gland doc to see if he knows about cah. I just hate to drive all the way there! Well this is so long sorry, but thanks very much for posting. It feels great to know there is someone out there like me.....sorry your like me though, lol. Take care and God bless ya.
