Dear Kelly,

Knowledge is the power plan to overcome : ) All the best and your daughter has everything to make going thru this better.  It’s the shock of ......I got something else too?

Been having my own issues with Oh my gosh what’s next ..another flipping condition. At the Endo’s the have been clicking of a part on the list in neuropathy - I’ve looked into that diabetic neuropathy - tingling in the feet,  pain behind eyes both of which is happening more often was searching the next out of curiousity and found so much about diabetes inherited but pushed to the front- insulin resistance  worsen by weight issues and  steriods, it also metioned anxiety and ..stress  being the adrenal gland these are a few of my favorite things plus talked about cardiovasular disease. Tried to get the link going http://www.surgerydoor.co.uk/medical_conditions/indices/D/diabetes_type_2.htm  

But not sure if it will work. Also this one becasue I have the 11 hydroxylase CAH which is prevalent in Sephardic  Jewish population of Morrocan decent it makes me wonder if way back in the day before my family tree migranted to Germany and Belgium - changing religions that they might of came from there. I do look similiar to people that I know are Sephardic. Sometomes docs have asked those same questions because of all the literature in the journals. So upon having more symptoms of tingling feet/ eye pain and why only do I have this flap right at the middle of my stomach even when I was thinner?  I started to seach for genetic connects - I read this quick and i don’t know in Sephardic is in here for myself  but I thought you might like this for yourself Genome Scan for Type 2 Diabetes and I hope this link works http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/reprint/50/3/681.pdf

I was in the hospital for ten days  after they took my gall bladder out and actually got a few shots of insulin because of being on so much cortisone to help cope with the recovery and infection after surgery ...although going into the Er my blood surgar was 40 and I guess being that low is bad.

I’ve been wondering about when this would arrive for me sine the feeling of Ok this CAH might? must be a card that effects other things and read about stress ( say from CAH exams)  and kicking off autoimmune conditions like the hashi’s thyroid, celiac  and how bless the adrenal gland but it really doesn’t fuction all that normal so it only seems that other conditions would pop up easier?  and how other condition’s would be harder for the body to defend against like what it takes for cancers to take hold.

Take care and glad you’re knee surgery worked out.
