Hello all,
I have already used this discussion board twice and so appreciate hearing from those of you who have been there. I have a 7 week old daughter w/ SWCAH. Here are my questions for today--any input is helpful.

*What are signs of oversuppression in an infant? My daughter is very fussy for long periods, doesn’t sleep much, has gained weight very quickly, especially in her face, neck and groin, and has acne on her face. Will this change as her doses come down?

*What maintenance doses of cortef and florinef have you all used for infants? My endo says 2.5 mg 3xdaily for cortef. I know other endos say 1.25mg 3x for cortef. I would like to convince her to let us try the lower dose if my daughter’s next labs look okay. Any input?

Thanks!
Erin
