HI Shayna,

I just wanted to let you know that there is a good reproductive

endocrinologist at MGH who is very interested in mitochondrial patients. Her

name is

Yialamas and she has a good handful of women with mito now for both GYN

issues and also the endocrinology aspects of the disease. She typically focuses

on GYN but she says in the mito patients, she's looking at both. She has a

couple month wait to get in, but she may be worth seeing.

As for my situation, I have progressed to the point where I'm having

cramps even between periods. The doctor found a raging vaginal

bacterial infection. She said that it was possible that it could have

migrated into the uterus, in which case the cramping could be caused

by the uterus's futile attempts to expel an infected lining. But so

far, the antibiotics have not completely relieved the cramps. (I might

just need a few more days.) Also, I have gained 10 pounds in a very

short period of time for no obvious reason; that's another reason to

get the ultrasound. It's scheduled for February 22. When I get the

results, I'll let you know in case it has any relevance to your

daughter's situation.

Many thanks, Malisa. I may well look her up. It's hard not to wonder

if there's some connection with mito and they just haven't gotten

around to researching these explicitly " women's " issues yet.
