SURVEY: What else have u been diagnosed with?

[KITTY1]

I thought I was the only one with a list that long. lol We really are a mess //smile
I have:
ASTHMA
ALLERGIES
TMJ
UTERINE FIBROIDS
CHRONIC BACK PAIN(bulging disks, compression, scoliosis as well as a couple of injuries-including a fractured spine)
NUMBNESS AND PAIN IN FEET AND LEGS(and a lot of swelling)
MIGRAINES
CHRONIC SINUS & EAR INFECTIONS AND BRONCHITUS
PID
ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF PCOS
AND MAYBE ONE OR TWO THAT I FORGOT
I wonder if maybe these are all related to pcos. It would make an interesting study.

[mischka]

Whoa! Catching the tail end of the comet but it is fascinating! Here's my list:

-PCOS (of course)
-mild hypothyroidism, now treated
-some mild joint and muscle pain, not every day
-bruxism (amazing how frequent that is among us)
-Antinuclear antibodies (puts me at risk for autoimmune diseases)

Good topic!

A great topic of discussion!!

Ok...I have just seen "Raynauds Syndrome" and "Bells Palsy" in a couple of posts.
My mother has had Bells Palsy in both sides of her face(unusual to get it twice she's told) and I was diagnosed with Raynauds about 10 yrs ago.

I also have,
PCOS (treating with NPC and diet)
IR
Irregular cycles(although much better due to diet)
Hairiness
Severe mood swings
Cycle headaches
Tingling in the feet
Frequent urination(especially in the cold months)
IBS(I think.. but not dx)

That's about it.... I hope!
