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

Hi SK, I have had a terrible time with the periods except mine just don't seem to happen. I get the awful PMS and then hardly anyhting materialises. I know this is lupus because I used to be so normal and they still come every 28days.....My anxt has improved with the plaquinel though

I heard that endo can do this to a person. have you been tested for endometriosis?
