About early onset and also the article someone poistedabout DHEA affecting women...I just read somethingabout premature ovarian failure (POF) that said RA cancause this if it attacks a person's ovaries (as it cando to other organs). I had a personal interest as Ihave been having hot flashes on and off since I was27, yes yellow read 27!!! They used to go away whenI'm taking the pill, but recently they've begun toreturn and I really feel they're hormone-related...I went to my rheumy and asked him about it, and helooked perplexed and said usually that would be causedby the meds, not the RA. I didn't tell him Iquestioned him, since I read that info on an RAsite...forget which one. The article also said a traditional test for earlymenopause wouldn't catch this, as it needs a specialtest

since your body could be producing the sameamount of whatever hormone the test looks for. Sorrythis is so unspecific...I'll try to find the link tothat article. It also said there is no truly reliabletest for POF yet.Rie~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Message: 4 Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 17:45:24 -0700 (PDT) From: yellow dancer <yellowplugempress@...>thank you Kay for the suggestion, although I think i'djust walk out onto the ice if I found out I was going throughmenopause. i'm still 27 and unmarried and i don't think i couldhandle a life change as serious as that right now... even though Iknow early onset happens.:)love yellow __________________________________Do you ?New and Improved -
