seen the rheumatologistFrom: niki (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Nov 29 19:29:45 2007
Hi all. I am still having issues post lupron. So i followed up with the rheumatologist. Im being tested for several autoimmune disorders. His thoughts are lupus or fibromyalgia with reumatoid arthritis closesly following. I have several of the tender points for the fibro as well as numerous other symptoms. He told me that lupus and fibro have alot of the same common symptoms. He had me do bloodwork, gave me a corticosteroid shot and started me on lyrica. He said with me having endo, and another autoimmune disorder (hashimotos thyroiditis) that my risk triples for having more than one autoimmune. He said he should have the lab results by monday. Im worried though it will be a relief to finally have a answer. If it is lupus the idea of us conceiving would put my health in risk. So we may have to rethink some things. Ill keep you posted. I just want this widespread pain to leave as well as the tingling/numbness in my feet and fingers.
