Hey there!

I also have Late Onset Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. I just wanted to let you know that I started an email list well over a year ago for women with this disorder. We now have about 150 members. We'd love to have you with us!

Unfortunately, LOCAH is a disorder that so often goes undiagnosed or is misdiagnosed as PCOS. Your experience is so common. Women who experience chronic acne andabnormal hair growth are often told that it's normal to experience such things or that they have to just live with it. I went undiagnosed for nearly 10 years. Very frustrating! But you are certainly not alone, considering 1 in every 100 to 1000 people have this disorder.

Take care!
