I’ve just found this forum and am looking forward to participating.  Both my children have been diagnosed with CAH.  I believe it is non classical and am unsure whether it is considered late onset or not.  My son was diagnosed at 7 y.o. and is taking cortef.  His initial bone age showed a height prediction of 68 inches.  I initially asked about growth hormones and was advised they were not necessary.  His last bone age, at 9 y.o., is showing a height of 62 inches.  I received a call from his doctor.  She indicated she was very worried about his ultimate height and that we need to start growth hormones immediately.  She also recommended that he have a Lupron stimulation test.  My son has just taken this test and results are pending.  Prior to starting Cortef my son had no weight problems.  He is now overweight.  I have a BILLION questions, but here are the first that come to mind.  1)  Is it possible my son is being overtreated with cortef?  2)  Why would a height prediction go down after treatment? (As it was described to me, we lost some height prior to treatment, but we should be more or less, making better gains now that treatment has started--it seems that just the opposite has occurred) 3)  What is the consensus on growth hormones and CAH?  Thanks all!
