Gyne problems/hyst. connection?

[Guest guest]

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?
