re: re: Can anyone help me? If I have CAH and I don't take the pill what's going to happen?

Well..what's so hard about taking the pill in the 1st place???lol

Look..i guess it depends on what kind of pill you're taking and for how long you've been taking it. Im 16 going on 17, and i diagnosed with CAH since i was 3. I was supposed to take the pill since then, but i didnt for some dumb reasons. Since then, my symptoms increased (like body hair, deep voice...n many other) Now I started going to the endocrinologist again and ive been taking Dexamethasone (.75mg) what i know..your body obviously gets used to the drug. My doctor told me that is EXTREMELY important for me to take this medicine as im supposed to, because if dont, it can get me dehydrated, dizziness, vomiting and all these symptoms can get me into a coma and i will eventually DIE! I was freaked out when the doctor told me i could die if my body doesnt get the drug, but i rather take it and keep my life!

So, I mean...I dont know which kind of pill you're taking, but the disorder is the same...just dont risk it i would say!

take care!
