KimI am new to the board and wish that this kind of thing was around 20 years ago when I was diagnosed. My diagnosis was partial CAH when my parents noticed I was developing acne at the age of 6. I was adopted at 3 months old and have no idea if I had any signs of the disease as an infant.
My question is it possible for a person with partical CAH to never have to take medicine. My mother has always pushed me to take my medicine. As an adult, I hated the side effects of the prednisone and never took it. A few months ago I fessed up to my doctor who ordered blood tests and these tests came back normal. I have never seen an endocrinologist as an adlut. My pediactric endo. stopped seeing me at the age of 18. I don’t know what to look for as side effects of not taking my medicine.
Any information is greatly appreciated!
