How Many Of You Suffer From Other Conditions That Developed After Or Even During Your Diagnosis Of Endometriosis?
I have several conditions that have developed in my reproductive years and I believe Most of them are related directly to having endometriosis. In my internet searches I have found that other women also have similar or the same conditions. I am always trying to find the link. And I know alot of us are too. So if you can share some atypical symptoms, perhaps we can somehow find a connection between Endo and these other issues. I have what I believe to be diagraphmatic Endo (BC I have all of the⦠read more
I have Raynauds too. When I was 16 my rheumatologist said that it is usually accompanied by an autoimmune disease. But I was tested for everything under the sun and it was all negative. Here in the US endo isn't considered an autoimmune disease yet. But I believe it is. I think I would be diagnosed with fibromyalgia and CFS but I don't even bother telling my doctor about my symptoms. They just think I'm crazy.
Yes. I had a lap. I know the pmdd is related because its part having hormone problems. The food allergy, I don't know....
I have been diagnosed w ibs/food sensitivies since dealing with endo. have u had the laparoscopic yet, maybe some of those issues are endo symptoms misdiagnosed. I'm not a doc so idk but I feel like when I've gone to each doc to treat a specific issue, they don't tie the dots. I know w endo I've also gotten full body pain. If I do anything at all active, take a short walk, move stuff at work, my legs, hips, and lower back ache for days. I'm trying to continue the walking bc it helps w my anxiety and depression but it's gets disheartening when normal activities now hurt. U might try acupuncture and physical therapy. Those are my next steps.
I have PMDD and I think I developed a food allergy recently.
I am certainly convinced that Endo is for sure an AI issue/condition.... I am 38 I was diagnosed at age 18, 20 years ago, wow! I've done lupron, bith control pills, depo... Currently not taking any treatments, just suffering through it and self medicating my pain with illicit substances as I don't have insurance and I have so many obstacles in order to obtain health insurance... I have issues ranging from tonsillitis to inflamed lymph nodes in my abdomen, to an inflamed illium (it's right next to the appendix, and has almost identical symptoms of appendicitis) to arthritis in my hips and bone spurs in my neck to a calcium deposit on my brain, as well as visible endometriosis lesions inside my nose that bleed, to pink eye, to blood clots and swelling in my ears... I also have a really high white blood cell count, the same as the high end of normal for a child, which explains the tonsillitis and the other inflamed lymph nodes... The arthritis in my hip was discovered by a chiropractor when I was 18 a few months after being diagnosed with endo... This past year I've noticed a definite lung involvement that is absolutely linked to my menstrual cycle, severe wheezing, difficulty breathing, coughing up mucous that increasingly gets larger and more dense leading up to the start of my period and then vanishes 2 days after the bleeding subsides.. I've never been able to get a doctor to believe these issues are related, in fact I was referred to a psychiatrist when I brought it up to an obgyn also when I was on depo I started getting kidney stones shortly after each injection every three months, oh yeah and my left ovary is stuck somewhere it's not supposed to be, like on the backside of my bladder, and I urinate blood when I'm menstruating
