Hello,

My name is Jennifer Kilmartin and I am 16 years old and have CAH all my life. Sometimes I hate having this disorder because it makes me feel so different and out of place everywhere I go. Even in school, people see my medic alert and they automatically think I have some contagious disease and then they never come near me again. I mean, I don’t know what to do. I know that I have so much more to live for, but I hate having to take medication, I hate being "sick" all the time, and I hate being tired all the time. I mean I am a teenager, I want to live like one. I just want to talk to someone who is either my age or someone who is older that can help me through this.

Thanks.

Jennifer
