This is my first post on a forum/group what have you that pertain to CAH. I'm near 25 years old now and have SWCAH. I've never met another person with this condition, some days I wish I could. My recent doctors visit revealed that I'm not absorbing Vitamin D (I have none in my body) So I'm running a 6 week trial where I'm being given 100,000 units twice a week. The meds are making me ill, but CAH is a struggle in and of itself and just another worry on the plate.
I've had the surgeries and all that jazz, satisfied, no. The choice wasn't mine, I was a sick child and mum had three other children to tend to. What I'm left with is pretty much null and void of feeling and more embarassment than anything else. I'm masculine in appearance, most people associate me being a male, but I do not blame them for I know what they see in the mirror. I've become very thick skinned about shrugging off the Sirs and the Hes, it's my day to day, tho some do sting more than others, but that's to be expected. I've flirted with depression and dwelled in the "why me?" In the end they got me no where real quick in a hurry.
I guess this post is a shot in the dark and finding someone like me, share stories or something like that. My reality is I'm tired of facing this alone and would like to talk with people who really understand me. Thanks for the read.
