Hello,
Well my rheumatologist suspects that I have SLE but is still investigating it. She has put me on Plaquenil though.
A few years ago I was also diagnosed with Polycystic ovaries. I had many cysts on my ovaries and a hormone imbalance. Some of the symptoms include irregular periods which is the main one. When I say irregular I mean that I'm turning 19 shortly and I have not had more than 10 natural periods. The longest I have gone without a period is for 19 months, which I would say is too long but my doctor didn't really care about that and refused to refer me to a specialist. Recently I went for another ultrasound and the woman told me that it doesn't look like I have Polycystic ovaries which upset me because I have been wrongly diagnosed.
I went back to my doc wanting an explanation and he said that my irregular periods could be due to my connective tissue disease. Could this be true??? Seeing as I have never had a regular period and only started to feel bad a year ago with a connective tissue disease, I'm questioning it.
So if anyone could help me out, I would be very grateful. And sorry for the long winded story.
