Hi Sue
I am a 22 yr old female. I never had weight gain. In fact, I was overly thin my whole life. In high school i was barley 100lbs. everyone told me i was too skinny. I wore a size 1 in jeans. LOL. Now i'm only 5'2 & weigh 115lbs (size 5) which is obviously a normal weight for someone my size. I never had terrible acne. Of course i had a few pimples like every onther teen & i still get pimples once in while but its cleared up with a typical face cleanser. So i don't think its b/c of the CAH.
I played basketball & softball my whole life, including college. i never had any problems. The older i get, the easier it seems. However, my pediatric endo was great & knew everything about CAH. But he had to release me once i turned 18. Ive had a hard time finding another endo who has a backround in CAH. I'm not really happy with my current endo. she just doensn't seem to informed about CAH. But i think i found a few in my area who do have backround that the CARES FOUNDATION recommended.
My only complaint is i'm really flat chested. I'm not even an A cup. My sister is a D cup & my mom is a C & they are both thin like me. So i know its b/c of my CAH b/c none of the women in my family are flat chested except me.
