Hi Everyone!

yesterday I received the results from my yearly check-up. The results of my blood tests for symptoms that I thought were menopausal ( I just turned 50) told me I have "Late Onset Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia" something I've never heard of but they tell me I was born with it.. It's just being diagnosed because it kicks in later in life.
I think what it boils down to is that my adrenal gland is malfunctioning and producing too much of one of the male hormones. It can be controlled with medication.What I am wondering is.. Can this be my Atkins problem? Is this why my diet won't kick in? If anyone out there can help me with this i would greatly apreciate it.
Thanks!!
