Re: Gyne problems/hyst. connection?

[Guest guest]

-Anne, I have had those problems since I had my first ruptured cyst at 14. That is why my husband and I could never have birth children. What you said is very interesting because a couple of years ago I had a hysterectomy but they left one ovary. Why, I will never know cause it never worked anyway. Soon after that is when they dx'd my fibro and less than a year after that the lupus was found but I think I have had it for a long time and just never knew. Anyway, my sister, and two first cousins all have it as well so I think it's genetic myself.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a relationship between severe

gyne problems and lupus/RA?

For years, I suffered from endometriosis and recurring ovarian cysts

and uterine fibroids. After I had a total hysterectomy last year, I

started experiencing the severe joint pain and abdominal pain. I've

read somewhere that there can be a hormonal trigger and at my first

rheumatology appointment, the doctor said he found the timing very

interesting.

Has anyone else experienced this or heard anything related?

-Anne, welcome to the group. Hope you enjoy yourself.

Sorry, can't help you on that one. Hope someone else give you some insight

on your question.

Um, you can add me in on the hypothyroidism as well as the hysterectomy all just before my pain started.

Hi -Anne...I am wondering about this link myself...I had a hystorectomy about 4 and a half years ago....just weeks later neuropathy settled into my legs very suddenly and I never really felt myself after that. This all over joint pain was slowly creeping through me...but I was in my early 40's and so you expect some of that right? I am also wondering about this link between hypothyroidism and lupus as I have that also...many lupies have that one too! Sue

-Anne,

I too have endometriosis and ovarian cysts that occasionally rupture.

For years I was convinced the lupus and these gyn problems were

linked, especially since my good friend who has fibro also has had

these types of problems. Finally about a year ago, I found an article

in the paper that had some new research about how endometriosis and

auto-immune diseases are linked together. It basically said that

women with auto-immune diseases were much more likely to have

endometriosis.
