For me, the cramps I feel in my legs aren't like charlie horses, more like a dull ache that starts in my low back and pelvic region, travels down the front of my thighs and continues down to my ankles. I have been telling my husband about this for ages, he gives me really good ankle rubs when I'm having this problem. I was reading about endometriosis the other day and one of the symptoms was aches/cramps in your legs and I thought OMG! that's me!

So when you took the med for 6 months and went into menopause, did you stay in menopause after you stopped the drug? While it would be a tough 6 months, I WOULD LOVE THAT!!!!!

Honestly, I used to dream of getting a hysterectomy but my mom's friend got one last year and when I heard the details, I got chicken about the whole thing. Anyway, I'll see the gyne in three weeks so maybe I'll find some good solutions.

I've had similar pain during intercourse, too, but my doc just figures it's associated with menopause -- early onset due to hysterectomy. Prior to diagnosis, I was told I had adenemyosis a cousin to endo. He's just given me vaginal hormone suppositories I use twice a week. What a hassle! If anyone can give me any info to give to him, let me know. My docs are learning about celiac disease right along with me.

The Lupron is for the treatment of endometriosis and after your last dose it takes about 2 months to get over it and it's back to normal periods and no more hot flashes. For me it was a godsent, I was only 20 and not even dating anyone much less ready for a family. They were conserned that my fertility was at stake. It's not a cure all, the endometriosis can return. THey told me it would be seven years. It's been 5 and just now my periods are getting heavier again and my cramps are getting worse, but NOTHING like it was before! I would do it again (although unpleasent) if I had to. It's a rough 6 months, but in comparison to the monthly hell I say it's worth it!! ;)

Wow, thanks for the info. That sounds really intense, but I can understand. I'll do some research on that. Though the rough 6 months is pretty daunting.

Good to know what options exist out there.

Thanks!

Is the pain on the outside or inside?

I have cysts and they can hurt. (inside)

I went my doctor and he said that I have vestublites (that may be spelt wrong) and this hurts on the outside. It's simply another allergic reaction. I have to wear cotton, white underwear and only use detergents without any dyes or parfume. I cannot use saop with any scent. My Dr. recommended neutrogena. Also do not d%$#@#$!!! I didn't know you are not suppose to and this brought on a PID infection which is one of the worse things that I have ever experienced!! Also, use unscented and white tp, and unscented tampons.

I have been doing this for a few weeks now and I am feeling much better.

I hope this may help!!!!!

      Does anyone know any good gluten free lip balm?

      By Lockgirl · Posted

      I have been using their toothpaste and some of their other products that are labeled gluten free. Sorry about that. It is so frustratingly hard to get clear answers from companies on gluten content.

      Does anyone know any good gluten free lip balm?

      I've been using eos lip balms. I usually get it at costco. Eos has little round balms, but also stick ones like chap stick. Costco has both. They are labeled gluten free when you buy individual balms, but the combo package from costco isn't always labeled gluten-free. The company web site says they are gluten-free. I'm pretty sensitive, I use the balms all day every day, and haven't had any reactions.

      Last time i checked, Burts Bees does not label anything gluten free. They had 1 lip balm that contained gluten, and their site said their products can be made on shared equipment.

      13 y/o new celiac dx and joint pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      I had rib pain, but also hip and leg pain - google sacroiliac pain, it's common in coeliacs. SI joint pain affects the hip, buttock and thigh area.  When I had it at its worst it was incredibly painful, a sort of burning sensation. If this is what your child is experiencing, she may find it helpful not to wear tight jeans or waistbands.  Any pressure around the area exacerbated the pain greatly.  Also, I am sure the lower quadrant bloating I was experiencing at the time made things a whole lot worse, that internal pressure seemed to add to the pain.   One other thing is that it is important that your daughter wears the right shoes, avoiding very flat unsupportive soles or heels, and doesn't overdo exercise that jarrs the joints.  The good news is that for me it did get much better as my gastric symptoms improved, particularly the bloating - but it did take a few months.  You may find these links helpful: https://www.spine-health.com/blog/common-triggers-si-joint-pain-and-how-prevent-flare-up#:~:text=The SI joint can become,the joint to flare-up. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19504097/ If your daughter is experiencing rib pain, that could be costochondritis.  I had that too, and a similar sort of burning.  Again, when my GI symptoms improved so did the pain.  Bloating will still kick it off from time to time. But I am glad you are having D levels checked, as low levels can contribute to joint pain.

      Newly Diagnosed

      By Russ H · Posted

      Approximately 1 in 3 adults have neurological symptoms on diagnosis. The mechanism and pathogenesis is unknown. These normally go into remission on a strict gluten-free diet. Common symptoms are anxiety, slow thinking, 'brain fog', memory problems and headaches. Although I think I have had coeliac disease in a mild form since childhood, my symptoms suddenly became much worse in later life. Along with the gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue, I developed a tremendous sense of doom, anxiety and paranoia. The diet can be awkward at first but becomes easier with time.
