Links Between PCOS and Autoimmune Disorders? It's been a long time since I posted here at soulcysters. 3 years to be exact and so much has happened. But I'm trying to find out if any other women with pcos have also been cross diagnosed with autoimmune disorders?
Beyond the pco and the endometriosis that I have, I've also been diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome which at one point they thought may be Lupus. I now have two other friends with endo, pco and either lupus or fibromyalgia. I've been doing an enormous amount of research about the connection here, with my own endocronologist saying there is a strong likelihood that one day they will confirm pco and ando are just part of a larger autoimmune disorder in general.
Has anyone else out there been diagnosed this way? and if so, what are you doing to treat it? The immune suppresive drugs seem worse than the disease at this point, but I'm researching any other means of controling these disorders.
