Reiter's Syndrome and H. Pylori or Enterococcus Faecalis ??

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if there is a connection between Helicobacter

Pylori or E. Faecalis infections and Reiter's Syndrome?

I was diagnosed w/ H. Pylori in mid 2004 and recently w/

Enterococcus Faecalis infection of the prostate.

For past year, I believe I've been suffering from Reiter's

Syndrome. I am HLA B27 negative. I've always tested neg. for all

STDs. All rheumotolical tests were w/in range. All endocrine tests

were w/in range.

I do have elvated protein in my blood and high acid in urine.

My symptoms are:

1) Dry / Red Eyes

2) Ureathritis

3) Gastritis

4) Dry Mouth

5) Dry Lungs - shortness of breath

6) Dry Sinus

7) Dry Skin

8) Pain under breatbone which is constant and sensitive to touch

9) Reflux

10) Fatigue

I have a hard time speaking as my mouth and throat are always dry.

I've been to dozens of doctors .. ID / GI / Rheum / Endo / ENT /

Opth / Cardio / Neuro / Psych / Alt Med .. no help. I am dry and

sick and no doctor can tell me what's wrong and how I should treat.

Please help.

Have you asked your doctor if what you have could be sjogren`s

syndrome. What ever it is I wish you well.

I think that Reiter's Syndrome could be set off by anything? I feel that you

are lucky that you do not have an inflammatory process going on! Maybe a

dermatologist can see why the dryness. Make sure you get a lot of water, and

enough fat in your diet, and take sits baths, and think as positive as possible.

make sure you do not have eyeritus in your eyes, are they sensitive to light? I

have Ra.

Thank-you,

I think that any of the infections that affect the gut or intestine can

trigger ReA. So many here have over the years traced their first reaction to

a post stomach problem.

I hope that this is your first and last flare.
