Hi Jen,

If you wanted info on CAH, this is from my website's PCOS page:

Other problems can mimic PCO symptoms, such as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. This is where the adrenal glands overcompensate for not having enough cortisol produced in the body. Once the adrenals kick in, they make androgens (like testosterone) like PCO does, for example: purplish stripes on the abdomen. For a better feel of CAH, see: here, Gaucher Disease Org, the Magic Foundation, and Medhelp.

Hi! My doctor now thinks I probably have mild late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia instead of PCOS. My DHEA level was 18.2 the last time it was checked, which is quite high I was told.
