Endometriosis and Uterine Fibroids

[VaBreeze]

I have often thought about what conditions preceed a dx of fibromyalgia.   It seems that many women have either previously, or are currently suffering, from one of these issues.  I am curious as to whether or not there is a connection.  

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to this poll.  Thank you.

Female patients; ref;  triptorelin  this again,  it is known to reduce estradiol and all estrogens together,  so is most definitely successful in treating cancers in female patients, similar to tamoxifen etc, again though,  if corrupt testosterone is present the cancer may not be defeated; and may return;  it would be best to take triptorelin along with a vaccine that acts against corrupted testosterone; we need urgently to research a vaccine that blocks corrupted testosterone this would then prevent cancer establishing itself by producing troublesome oncogenes and  incorrectly formed enzymes that cause cancers and many other diseases;

I don't have any of those but I do have PCOS.

My first time posting in this group. Just the other day I was thinking about all the things that might have brought on my fibro(dx 1 yr).  I'm 60 yrs old and at age 28 after my 3rd child (all c-sections) I had my tubes tied. Ten yrs later due to endometreosis had a hysterectomy. I have a family history of female problems, thyroid disease, and osteo arth. I've lived a fairly healthy life (never got colds or the flu) until my 1st osteo problem a heel spur in 91. Fine until 2005 since that time I've had 6 surgeries. 3 shoulder (2 arthoscopic, 1 partial replacement) thyroid removed with only 1 parathyroid gland left, gall bladder out, and carpal tunnel with ulna nerve release. I need 3 more surgeries. I'm lucky that I'm working for my husband at home, though my office skills are getting worse. I can't imagine having to raise small children or leave the house to go to work. Everything for me now is a major. My mind is foggy quite a bit. All of your stories truely amaze and inspire me. It's interesting to note that several people  have had their tubes tied.  Some where I heard about 10 yrs after tubal lig. problems crop up frequently. Looking forward to following the responses to this question.
Good luck to all.

Interesting!  I always wondered myself.  I seemed fine until I had my tubes tied when I was 22 after my second child.  I had nothing but problems from then on.  Very heavy periods, pain, back pain, fibroids, edomectreoius.  Had the cysts removed several times. Kept coming back and with scar tissue.  I got of tired of it and that is when I first started having all my FM symptons IBS too.  I thought all the female problems was what was causing all my problems so I begged the doc to give me a  hystectomy at 28 years old.  But after I had it all my FM symptons got worse.  Never went away and I am 47 now.  Wonder what thhe connection is?  But I also had mono when I was 17 and I wonder about that too.  I just pray that this new medicine savella works.

I had endometreosis, adnymyosis and polyps for many years.  Then was dx w/ fibro and lupus.  Whatever holds the uterus in place gave way and my uterus was moving around too much, causing problems.  It was removed.  So I'm yes to almost all of them except the fibroids.

I agree with PASSOVER.  I took an herb (Chasteberry Tree) and evening primrose oil.  When they took out my uterus, they could not see any endometreosis, but found it microscopically.  The Chasteberry totally shrunk all of the lesions found in 2 previous surgeries.

both caused by corrupted testosterone that confuses transcription in actin cells cure is less stress status' using evening primrose oil as this lowers oetrogen  progeterone ostradiol and corrupt testosterone levels beware nullifys the effect of the contraceptive pill, andrew langham
