I have been diagnosed with CAH, and I've been prescribed Dex, but I am very hesitant about taking it.
I have very few symptoms, primarily acne and irregular periods. I don't have a facial hair problem, I'm not short (taller than parent. I'm a 5'8 female). I got my period at 13, a normal age. etc.
My symptoms do not bother me as much as I suspect the side effects of dex will.
My endo's primary concern is my high DHEA (not DHEAS) level. I've never even been tested for DHEAS, and won't be until 3 weeks on dex.
