Are illnesses harder to get over with NCAH? Aug. 7th, 2007 7:10pm
Hi
My daughter was diagnosed with LOCAH last year just after turning seven. We are not treating her yet because her bone age is not advanced. She is, however, not at all borderline for the disorder. Her 17ohp was 6000. What I worry about most are her occasional high fevers when she gets sick. She has always had them and sometimes they are diffficult to get down. I've heard different things from different people. Some say it is more difficult for people with CAH to get over illness and high fevers may occur. Others seem to think that the fevers could just be occuring on their own and that as long as her cortisol levels are wnl's it doesn't matter how hard her body is working to produce it. Does anybody have any knowledge regarding this matter?
