Hi all, hope you are pain free as possible. After nearly two years of having my ovary and tube removed and being told my endo is too bad to have a hysterectomy, and feel unwell since my op. I have been diagnosed with relapse and remission MS, does anyone else have endo and MS??

Hi jayneeb3,

Sorry to hear about your MS diagnosis. I don't have MS but this article might be of interest

The writer believes that women with endo should be screened for early detection of MS.

Firstly, a hysterectomy is not always the answer. Secondly it sounds to me as though your case is beyond the skill of the doctor who told you that it's too bad to operate. Get yourself referred to an endo specialist. Find and choose one here bsge.org.uk/ec-BSGE-accredi... and tell your GP to refer you. They should be able to help sort out your endo and then you can concentrate on getting on top of your MS.

Best Wishes. x

Wow thank you, a very interesting read, l had wondered if there was a link, as both are auto immune diseases and oestrogen related. xxx

My goodness! I didn't know that MS was oestrogen related. I suppose that explains why mostly women get it. Thanks for the info and good luck with your treatment. xx
