Anyone have a little with this diagnosis?

My daughter was diagnosed with CAH in October, but we just got her genetic screening back yesterday that confirmed everything along with her specific type. Its a rare disease, but thought I'd give this board a shot.

    They thought dd1 might have had CAH bc of a high testosterone level they ended up saying she didn't but Facebook has a couple groups that are very active. Good luck and you're more than welcome here too!

  • Thank you! I'm in a few of the FB groups, but it seems to be a lot of adults with CAH or teens with CAH. I'll keep looking. I'm glad your little one ended up not having it. :)

  • I was also going to recommend facebook.  My DD, also Ginny (Virginia) was suspected of it due to high newborn screening results while in the NICU, but the challenge test came back negative.  I guess they have unreliable values for initial screening for micropreemies.   I looked for support groups in the 2 weeks that it took for the results to come back and found the most on fb. 

    your kiddos are beautiful!  I hope you are able to find the support you need :)
