Dear Bet,
I was born w/ Simple- Virilizing CAH and I took prednisone for 32 years and hydrocortisone for the last 3. I never was on the pill -hrt but only had bad acne for about three years in my teens- It might of helped because the acne was really bad but the doctors really never looked at my face.
Many causes for the gall bladder but I liked to eat,drink and be merry ; ) I also read that dieting and losing weight then gaining and losing also is a symptom- I know people that weren't overweight that also had their gall bladder out. Genetics does play a role also.
I was yellow with jaudice and throwing up neon yellow, then green and red because this one stone was blocking everything. The blood sugar was 40.
I felt better right after the surgery and the infection didn't bother me - I was so sick before that anything was an improvement. I was just cagey because I couldn't leave and go across the street to this restauraunt- walking the halls of the unit got boring but that is what really helped.
i have a couple other conditions besides CAH and stoped asking why but yet I do consider myself sorta healthy.
Good luck,
Aimee
