Lupus And Iud Posted: 06-01-05 11:47am
Hello - i'm new to the forum!
I was diagnosed with a mild case of lupus
in november 2004. It came out of nowhere
- the pain in my hands and feet and the
constant tiredness. I have 3 children
and most recently gave birth in july 2004.
My doctor told me that postpartum onset
of lupus is common. I was treating with
plaquenil but didn't feel any better so I
have been on methotrexate for the last
month with some improvement.
I was wondering if anyone out there had an
iud
in place before being diagnosed
with lupus. I had an iud put
in for the first time in october 2004.
Could it be that this is what triggered
all my problems? I am going to have it
removed for a few months to see if I feel
better...Guess it's worth a shot. I'm to
the point where i'll try anything!
