In this episode of CAH Pulse, Stephanie and Dina speak with Lydia who was diagnosed with classic CAH at birth and although she received relatively good medical care from the start, she had little understanding about her condition. As a young adult, Lydia reveals that she foolishly decided to test the importance of taking her medication by eliminating it altogether.
She also explains how her world took a positive turn after college when she began speaking with a therapist and ultimately the CARES Foundation. For the first time in her life she was able to regularly meet and open up with women who are living with CAH which gave her a new appreciation, understanding and excitement for her future.
Today, Lydia's story includes a loving husband, a toddler son and a drive to help others with CAH so that they know that they too can live typical, full lives filled with milestones, hope and most of all love.
