Hello Aimee,
I replied to you on the other message. My endo was very hateful. His report got my script for spironolactone reduced to where it doesn’t help my blood pressure anymore. My aldosterone was high even with the spiro, it’s worse now. If the 17-h-preg and baseline 17-ohp levels are the fault of 17-a-hydroxylase deficiency, then maybe that’s it.

I don’t know where to start my story. My ancestry is a mix of northern and southern european, and some long ago middle eastern. Other than the blood pressure, there doesn’t seem like much to say. I pass out a lot, but so far it’s always been temporary. Not much of virilization problems. Hardly any signs of puberty for a long time, except for what comes in pills. No fertility. It’s hard to miss what you never had, but sometimes when I’m quiet it feels like part of life passed me by.
