Welcome to the board, Laborador!!

[Kailana]

first of all, welcome to BLO.

2nd you really ought to be carefull about what your doctor just told you, each of these conditions we all live with, while they may have similarities, affects us all differently. It could be that what the Dr. said, may be the information that he is familiar with, if he is not well trained on CAH and its various forms, and affects, he might of just told you everything he knew, and not the exact affects/ that you may be experiencing/showing/exhibiting. My best advice is to relax, give yourself sometime, and wait for your results. The last thing is you also need to be cautios, as there is still alot of biasis within the medical community, and alot of miss information, so when your all done, just give yourself some to take it all in. And as others have mentioned, take notes, its not always easy to remember everything that gets said.

Hi Jos. I think you're right. I've been keeping notes. I have had to refer to them a lot this weekend. My mind is just overwhelmed at times. Congratulations on the endo appt. I'll send ya some courageous thoughts to help you get through that.

Hi Meresa. Thank you for the welcome

Hi Kailana. Yesterday I woke up a mess. I couldn't cope at all. I figured it was best to calm down and not try to figure anything out at this point. And that I'd really not think about what my doc said since he is not a specialist in this area. Until I have the results for all the blood work and can see a doc that specializes in whatever, I'm just going to try to stay calm. Maybe stay in denial for a while. When I think of the doc's physical findings, I just shake. Not sure how to deal with it, or who even to talk to about it. It's very confusing. Big sigh, thank you for posting. And I will definitely keep notes so that one day this all makes some sense to me .... I hope.
