Paul, it is good to hear the positive side and that you have done so well.  Unfortunately it isn’t always the case. My son has SWCAH and he has been so ill with it that he missed two years of school.  This is due to the fact he could not absorb enough cortisol from the medication and it took almost this long, with many adrnal crises to discover this along with his extremely fast metabolism.  This in turn has played havoc with his bones, his muscles too and general health! His quality of life has been poor.  His case is unusual but things do happen and it all comes down to treatment and knowledge.  Never has my son played on his condition, he is frustrated by it. So yes boys can have problems too! Perhaps you have reached a good height and do not have any adrenal rests, had worries of pituitary tumours, admissions almost monthly for 3 years? Blood tests hourly for 24 - 48 hours? I guess it is the people like us who have problems that frequent this board to learn.  Weight is an issue, my son is too thin but was overweight and this can affect a child terribly along with mood swings etc. I think as treatment improves, so will life with CAH. It is also different being the parent, I should imagine your parents, like myself did not share their worries with you.  Good to hear as I said you have done so well.
