BillI know this topic was discussed recently, but I just wanted to ask everyone a few more questions. More specifically, I am wondering if any of the carriers in the group had, or continue to have, symptoms that may be related to their carrier status.
We have a 4 1/2 month SWCAH boy, so my wife and I are obviously carriers. Personally, I have been healthy and physically active. I do have joint pain, especially after hard exercise (I am 33 years old), but nothing that prevents me from doing it on a daily basis. The only other thing is that I often have dark circles under my eyes no matter how much sleep I get.
My wife is also very healthy, with no medical problems. Family history is pretty clean other than depression in a few relatives. My brother does have higher than average amounts of body hair, although no CAH with him or his 4 children.
It would be interesting to see what symptoms others have experienced, at least informally. The limited literature on carriers is contradictory at times. Some say low baseline cortisol, while others say a quicker ("adaptive") cortisol response. Very confusing!
