I have also been diagnosed recently with CAH 3 Beta (late onset). I am 29. My
symtoms have really only been an absence of menstration for most of my life. The
endo. said that this was because my body pumps out extra testosterone and DHEA
when it works overtime to pump out enough cortisol. This hormonal imbalance has
caused me to deal with infertility. Additionally, within the past several years
I developed unwanted hair growth (mild in amount but still bothersome and
noticeable) on my chin, upper lip, breasts, and abdomen.I have been receiving
regular treatments by an electrologist to deal with it effectively and feel much
better about myself now after a year of treatment. I am currently on
dexamethasone, but I have not been able to get regular periods started nor have
I noticed a decrease in hair growth. It may be too soon to know if dex. will
work since I have only been on it for two months. Does anyone else out there
share these symptoms?
