Hi Liz,☺ 

I’m sorry that you have to deal with something besides CAH.☺

If you haven’t look at this already? Maybe this site will help http://www.psoriasis.org?  

I don’t know if psoriasis is in anyway related to CAH as I did know a guy without CAH that had it But I was wondering if psoriasis is stress related and then some how the adrenal gland could activate or trip off something like psoriasis?

I’ve been reading about adrenal fatigue for people without CAH and then those people talking about hashimoto’s thyroiditis and celiac sprue (both genetic conditions that ARE linked) which I also have plus adrenal issue.

I do think that some things are related or they might be brought to the surface easier because of the CAH.

On the other hand I just wonder that maybe we just had these other things anyway and they would of popped up even without CAH. ☺

I do understand about feeling glum about having other conditions and I was in such an angry funk about the thyroid condition. No medical person wanted to educate me about it ..so I had to do that myself. I was Ok with the CAH condition itself but surgery and exams ....another story and post. I was sorta excepting of the celaic sprue because the gastro doc is Hot and it has to do with food - the gastro doc was right there to offer support and education even though I researched it myself. The cancer I had? the treatment for the was easier than anything that was done to me because of the CAH and glad that I fainted so someone would help me instead of thinking ...crazy and just anemia. But the one that got me was the thyroid and I have to take medication for that and what yet another %$#%&$&$%^%E# genetic condition? f- family tree.......i was mad and even worse no support or education from medical people was even scarier then the condition. 

I was like ummm no thank you very much ....CAH is plenty but we don’t have that choice and have to somehow work through it in time and when you are ready.

I read so much about the thyroid that it made me of all people want to go to nursing school and maybe? just maybe and it doesn’t feel that way now but maybe the psoriasis will somehow show you things.  

I like to say it is me and CAH against the rest of the conditions....My thyroid is evil and dying a slow death .

So, it’s you and CAH against the skin condition ☺
