Why not just remove the adrenals all together if one hormone plays off the other and so on as Martha pointed out? Why not just remove the problem, and this way better treat the patient, giving exactly what the body needs instead of playing a guessing game on which hormone is making the most, ect. To me this makes sense because of all the things that have been triggered to become a problem with CAH. Does an Addison’s patient experience depression as a CAH patient does? What are the required medications of an Addison’s patient? What are their side effects if they are given too much meds. or not enough? Or do they even have to follow the entire mess so close? What do you think? Any info. on taking this path?
