How many of you had an early hysterectomy/endometriosis?

[MrsAristotle]

Over the last 2 years I have noted something very interesting. I have met quite a few women either with MS, or in limbo land who had an early hysterectomy and endometriosis.

I am wondering if there is a link.

I found some research in the USA where 100,00 women with endometriosis, 516 developed MS.
100,00 women tested who didnt have Endometriosis, only 73 women had MS.

ALSO fibroymayalgia comes up high too, Out of 100,00 women with endometriosis   5,897 got Fibromyaliga. 100,00 women who didnt have Endometriosis 3,400.

Also Lupus comes up high too. Out of 100,00 women with endometriosis,   842 develop Lupus.
100,000 women without endometriosis only 41 developed Lupus.

When you look at the percentages above they are quite high arnt they?

How many of you on here have had hysterectomy and the above illnesses?

I am going to send my findings to my neurologist just out of curiosity.

I had endometriosis and an early hysterectomy I was about 25. I have either Lupus or MS type illness.

Perhaps when we are diagnosed with endometriosis we could be charted for further problems or something could be done to change this or something???

Sorry brain isnt in gear this morning. Think i have a cold coming.

I was just diagnosed with endometriosis earlier this afternoon. (I have CFS)

I think you should take a poll--this is an interesting corellation!  I was 33 when I had a complete hysterectomy.  I did have endometriosis, a prolapsed uterus, and a fibroid tumor among some of the problems.  

My gynecologist told me way back then that there was a correllation between endometriosis and autoimmune disease (I thought I had lupus back then).  Also, you're more likely to have the problem if you're fair completected.

Diagnosed MS - Total hysterectomy due to fibroids 5 years prior to diagnosis.  (Also precancerous polyps found accidentally during hyster)

Any connection?  Who knows?

Wow. This is very interesting.

I had a hysterectomy (ovaries left in) when i was 33 due to endo. I have fibro. I may have something else or just really fricken weird atypical fibro. So limboing while moving on with life basically. I'm not digging for answers - just being watched.

Already we can see there is a lot of 'us' here.

I was on Lupron for a short (4 month) time before the total hysterectomy.
