Q: More Tests

i just saw my gp. I got the results of the ct scan I had on my back. They said I have no deterioration in my back, thank goodness. Unfortunately it did show some problems with my uterus. I have to have an ultrasound on it. He is also sending me for an eeg because of the headaches and nerve pain. I guess it's a step in the right direction.
i'm nervous about the problems with my uterus. I just had a cervical biopsy done because of abnormal cells and i'm waiting on the results. I hope it's nothing serious. Has anybody ever had lupus related problems with there uterus??
Keep smiling :d

hi, jenn, the thing they gave me for my nerve pain was (nortripoline) I hope I spelled that correct. I don't take it any more! With me taking dilantin for my sezures, it made me a zobbie! I tried and tried to take it. But I just couldn't funtion. It worked, but the side affects were just more than I could handle. Eeg's are nothing, the worst part about them is the glue they use . It gets all in your hair and is a bear to get it out!
keep us updated....Sharon

Hi sharon,
thanks for listening. I'm not nervous about the tests just the outcome. I take a nerve blocker called amytriptiline. It helps with some pain but not all and if I want to function I can only take it before bed.
Have you ever had any lupus related problems with your reproductive organs? It's not something I hear of very often. Considering my options i'd rather that my uterine problems be lupus related than anything else.
My doc is also sending me to the optomitrist. He said there may be something worng with my middle vision (what ever that means).
Thanks again,
jenn

To answer your question. I had problems in that area. I had to have a hysterectomy in 98. I do have two sons but I did have a hard time.
I've never heard od that drug before, but there are lots out there.

Yes, lupus can affect your reproductive organs. I also have heard of patients being put through menopause because of severe organ involvement.
