What if my Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia makes me feel different?

Hi, I’m 25 and I have Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. I feel like I’m the only one in the world who has this “defect”.. It is a condition where the female genitals are sort of merged to look somewhat like the male genitals. I had reconstructive surgery done when I was very young, but I feel so different.

Dear jessicavikron, This disorder has been around for a very long time…we are fortunate that we live in a time where they know what the condition is and how to help in many ways. There are several groups via the Internet you can join and I’m sure your local health care provider can offer some sites too. You are fortunate that you survived your childhood…some with the disorder do not. You are here for a reason since many are not who had this…perhaps it was to help other in your situation? Perhaps it was to become a great writer…I know the ones who love you are very glad you’re here. Sue…good luck
