Noah was born with a very unusual genetic condition called CAH - Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia which is essentially an enzyme deficiency which means his adrenal glands don't create the necessary hormones.

It went undetected at birth but Noah's health gradually deteriorated over the first 4 weeks of his life.

Most GPs aren't familiar with CAH but we were very fortunate that a specialist in these type of genetic conditions was on call was on call at Guildford Royal Surrey.  He suspected Noah's symptoms were adrenal related and immediately ran some blood tests which resulted in a diagnosis.  If the condition goes un-treated it very quickly leads to an Adrenal Crisis which is terminal.

Noah now lives a completely normal life but takes steroids 3 times a day to replace the hormones his body can't create, and he carries around an emergency stress-dosing hydrocortisone injection.

The CAH Support group:-

a)    Give support to families and sufferers
