Very interesting post. I've always suspected a connection between
hypothyroidism and endometriosis. My endo was diagnosed 15 years ago and
my hypothyroidism was diagnosed 4 years later. I've wondered if I was actually
hypo prior to the endo. Perhaps when endo is discovered, thyroid tests should
be run as well. I know that I suffered greatly prior to my thyroid problems
being discovered. If I had been tested in a routine screening when my endo was
diagnosed, it would have saved me years of searching.
I'm very sorry to hear that you have endo....it's no fun. There is an online
support group if you're interested......it's a newsgroup called:
alt.support.endometriosis. Check it out. There is also the Endometriosis
Association, if you haven't already discovered them. Hope you don't mind but
I posted the web site you mentioned to the alt.support.endometriosis group
because there was a discussion going on about the possible causes of endo.
Best of luck to you and thanks again for the info.
