re: To parents of carriers

Well, for one, I really appreciate the question. It’s nice to know that even with what you go through having CAH that you show concern for the parents.

In all honesty, it’s so hard to decide what health concerns might be from what.

Saturday I had a serious bout with depression, but I couldn’t find any tangible reason for it. We got our taxes back recently, so we got a new sectional (something I’ve wanted for a long time so the whole family can sit on the same seat), as well as a much needed laptop (no more waiting for someone to get off the computer). I was kicked back in the recliner part of the sectional with the laptop in my lap, working on one of my sites, and I simply felt horrible. I know I was probably feeling guilty that I was so comfortable, but I was still working. I know I was worried about how the new business I started aren’t growing as much as they should, but it didn’t seem like that would be causing as much depression as I was feeling.

Eventually it went away, and it seemed to fade almost exactly like the pain in my chest would fade a few years back when I had a problem with acid reflux and a hiatal hernia. That led me to think that what I was feeling may have been more chemical than anything else. What’s frustrating about it is that I got so little work done, because of the way I was feeling, which in turn made me feel even guiltier. It’s one of those annoying things that feeds on itself, like stress induced insomnia. Stress causes the problem and the problem causes moire stress with escalates the problem...

But, to answer your question, I still have no idea if that has anything at all to do with being a carrier of the CAH gene or something lots of people experience, but simply never talk about.
