I agree with you Danny to a point. I never let CAH rule my daughters life if CAH is what I am dealing with here. I say it is all positive attitude that gets anyone through anything.  BUT let me tell you, when this body of mine has PMS...look out. I can look in the mirror and say, Ok this is PMS take three deep breathes and remove yourself from the situation. It is simply a chemical reaction to what my hormones are putting out. It works sometimes, but I would say 9 out of 10 times, it doesn’t. Whether it be the crying side of PMS or the angry point of PMS. It is what it is. It is hard to control it. I am an adult and can’t always control my anger or sadness when I have PMS or even not have PMS. I can’t imagine a child mastering this control. I think it is definately a good idea to approach my daughter and encourage her to recognize it could be from the meds. she is on and encourage her to recognize it and battle it. And then again I hate to blame CAH when perhaps it is not. There is that line again, is it or isn’t it? I don’t know. Is it a hormonal thing that is normal at this stage of puberty or isn’t it? Maybe I need to go beyond CAH, and beyond the normal kid thing and deal with it as her emotions and what I would do with a child that doesn’t have CAH. I would hate to blame it on CAH, and skip over what may just well be bothering her. I don’t know. I just wondered if anyone else had a child that felt that way at that age from this prepuberty stage, or from meds. being off, or from just plain being a kid without CAH. I thought if I could fix a medication or adjust it if it was a CAH thing, it would work.
