Has anyone with lupus been on depo
provera? I just stopped using it a month
ago and i've been feeling crappy....Knees
ache, major fatigue, nausea. Feels
similar to having a flare up. I've been
told these aren't typical withdrawal
symptoms post depo. I'm wondering if the
estrogen being back in my system now is
aggravating the lupus. Anyone know?

I am on depo now, I havent gotten off of
it yet- but I have been told that the
estrogen coming back into your system will
cause flare up- are you getting pregnant?

I wasn't planning on trying until about
june or so. I'm not sure how long it
will take my body to regulate and get back
on a regular cycle. I guess everyone is
different so who know.

Well good luck- hopefully it wont last too
long- I would imagine it shouldnt take
more than a month or so to get used to it.
Im planning the next 2 years- but let me
know how things go so ill know what to
expect!

I've been on the Depo shot since 1999 have
been off it only once, ironically this was
when I landed in the hospital with a lupus
diagnosis, I have to fight my Ob/gyn to
continue the shot b/c I believe heavily
that the benefits outweigh the bone
density risks. However, I did recently
read that DHEA can aid with the bone
issues associated with the Depo and Lupus.
