Hello, my name is Kat and I have been diagnosed with Lupus since I was 12 years old. I have always had issues with my monthly as a result of the Lupus; usually it is very heavy and the PMS is unbearable. However, this past month, I completely missed my period and I have no other reasoning besides stress and the Lupus. After doing some research, I have read that it depends on the person.
Does anyone else have this problem and how do you handle it (i.e. medication, not stressing, etc.)?
Thank you!
Kat

I'm also having a missing period dilemma Kat, i put mine down to just starting methotrexate, and i read that it can stop or halter the regularity of your cycle. It's so frustrating, and annoying, try not to get worried about it- not best at it i confess, but need to think that our bodies have got so much to be getting on with all the medication we pump into it on a daily basis no wonder some of the regularites struggle. I'm also on a proestrogen pill, which may alter my periods too - don't know if thats the same for you. Just have to keep with it i'm afraid.
