It has been my acedotal experience that once one is diagnosed with one
"autoimmune" condition (as I have heard endo referred to), others tend
to follow....
There is a blood test that can be done to see how likely a diagnosis of
Lupus is -- although I don't believe it is diffinative (sp?) one way or
the other. My mom has had the test done before when they suspected
Lupus -- turns otu she has CREST and Fibromyaglia instead. (also had
endo and other related issues in years past).
Many wishes and prayers for ya...
