Hi Kari,

I have never heard of a link between the two but sometimes I do wonder b/c of the fact that I have both.

I also empathize with you on the aspect of infections b/c I get them frequently and I found out that for me the reason that I do has nothing to do with the endo or the PCOS.

Please feel free to e-mail me privately any time. Also, the link to the Endo list that Sonnet was talking about is: http://forums.obgyn.net/endo.

This is such a wonderful list to get support from as dealing with endo is also very frustrating. I've had endo since at least 16 but I didn't get a diagnosis until I was 25. I'm 29 now and I've already gone thru two surgeries for this. Currently I'm on the pill but am going to be switching medicines as soon as they get the ok from the ins co and then I will have to go in and get shots once a month. The medicine that I will be taking is called Zoladex. It's similar to Lupron with the job that it does but the differences are that there isn't a seizure risk for me with the Zoladex like there would be with the Lupron. Also a friend of mine said that she read somewhere that said that the Zoladex is supposed to be better than Lupron.

If you or anyone else has a question about what these two drugs do please don't hesitate to ask.

I hope that you are having a good day and I will talk to you later. I have to go to the dr's office to pick up another prescription for painkillers. I keep the pain killers around not b/c of the endo but b/c of my third female condition which affects the external genital area. It's called vulvodynia.

To learn more go to the following sites:

http://www.vulvodynia.com http://www.nva.org http://www.vulvarpainfoundation.org http://www.vulvodyniasupport.com http://www.geocities.com/svsg_newjersey

I will talk to you all when I come back later this afternoon.

Hugs to everyone,

===== Kristy :)
