I am a 17 years old and I to have suffered with CAH since the day I was born. I know exactly all the feelings and problems each and every one of you go threw. It gets old having to go to the doctor every few months for them to draw tubes of blood. And very uncomfortable with the exam. The hardest part is haveing friends that don't understand. The stress of high school is extremly hard! And dealing with this disorder is much harder! I look at myself everyday and know I will never be like other girls. And that is something i want so bad... I hate takeing medicine every day of my life and I HATE going to see doctors! They creep me out! But i guess what gets me threw the day is that I know no matter who i am or what i do there are always people out there that are so much worse off. Our disorder is not AIDS or CANCER.. We don't have to wake up every morning knowin scared to death. We wake up and take our medicine and get on with our life. It hurts deep inside to know the effects of the disease but i know it all could be worse and I thank God everyday that it is not! I guess that is what makes me not so feeling sorry for myself. So girls or guys who ever is reading this no matter how bad you feel one day the next is going to be better.. (well somtimes it takes a few days) but it always gets better!
