Having problems with message search?
Thanks Becky!
I know some of the issues we face are so private for most people....that's probably why I never heard of some of these things. I think I'm just feeling a little over-whelmed from a lot that has happened this year and that was just the proverbial straw for me. Thanks for such an honest answer.
Twins....fun? Isn't that an oximoron? LOL!! Yes, each and every day is a joy.....heavy sarcasm. I think later in life I will look back and know that it was all worth it....and Thank Goodness it's over! LOL!!! My girls are pretty normal in height right now, but their doctor predicts that 5"1' is about all they can hope for....but really that's not all that bad. Girls don't have such a bad time being short...I think it's probably much more difficult for boys....so we consider ourselves lucky there. (I am also not tall...5"4')
Anyway, thanks! You don't know how I appreciated your answer today!
Angi
Angi,I have late-onset CAH which wasn't diagnosed until I was an adult. Looking back, I realize that I did have some feelings of confusion during the time that I was obviously symptomatic but not yet diagnosed. With treatment, my hormone levels are all normal and I feel ...right. I think that the gender confusion, symptoms, etc. mostly come with untreated CAH.By the way, I have twin girls too. Mine will soon be 13. It's fun, isn't it! My girls don't have CAH but we're seeing an endocrinologist because of possible growth problems. It's hard to really know whether their short stature is inherited or another problem because my growth was stunted from untreated CAH.Try not to worry.Becky
