Hi, I know this is an old post, but there are a number of recent studies linking RA and other autoimmune diseases with endometriosis. I have lupus and am now in the process of being diagnosed with endo at 32.

They test me for rheumatoid Arthritis my joints were hurting.

No i never had vasculitis when i was 19 years old i got real sick had real high fever that had go hospital and sweated heaps, had some sakes coughing, headaches vomitting culdn't hold any solid foods dwn had chicken broth, baby food. I had job as kindy teacher my boss was lovely gave me some time but i had tell her i can't come bck to work until my doctor feels well enough. So after 4 months my boss had let me go. Even through i was hard worker and was basticly runing the kindy, it was at gym where mothers culd leave kids at kindy do a work out. My boss was hardly around except coming check account books and meetings, because she was trying set up another kindy.

I haven't officially been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease/disorder, but my ANA titer has been abnormal before.
