Thanks to all!!!! I have been trying to convince my husband that aside from our fertility issues he needs to be on the meds. In the past couple of years brad has had to come to terms that the side effects of the meds are not as bad as a possible adreanal shock!!. Brad has recently made another endo appt. and I have hope that he will stay on them, and if our fertility problem is helped then that is a bonus. Brad’s old endo was surprised that brad had gone so long as well without meds, the last time he was really on anything was when he was burned quite severly 13 years ago. He since has been in several cars accidents and had numerous other situations where he should have atleast been on some sort of dose of any corticosteroid!! The man has been lucky so far. We are always learning more about CAH and I thank you for sharing your story. We hope we too will have success with the meds.crystal
