Loss of Periods for women after sever attacks

[Guest guest]

I have noticed that when I had severe atatcks I have lost lots of

weight and lost my perios for liek 8 months. They sais this was due to

pain and how the body copes.

Does anyone else have this happen?

Hi Deb,

I have had this happen also. I haven't had a period since November of

2003!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 35 years old. I finally went to my OB/GYN and they did

blood work and I had a high Prolactin level, which is what makes breast milk.

He put me on Parlodel to decrease my levels and possibly start my periods again.

My surgeon and Internist did not want me taking this medication along with

everything else that I take. My Internist repeated the blood work and my level

was normal after it was previously high just three months before.

I wish I knew what the deal was too, but I don't. My docs think it is just

from the CP and all the changes in your body from that along with all the meds.

Wish I could have given you an answer, but I'm with you on this. . .at a loss!!!

I haven't had mine completely stop for any period of time but any time

I have an attack (severe or minor) my period gets very erratic. I have

had times (like currently) where it will go on for days it seems very

very lightly, not even like a real cycle. I asked by Primary about it

and she feels it's due to my body's response to the stresses of the CP.

Hope this reassures you some that you are not alone in this symptom.

Oh Good,

I'm not alone. I also haven't had a period in about 2 years. My OB/GYN

said mine was due to a combination of malnutrition and anemia. She was

thinking about putting me on birth control pills to bring it back, but

they all have a tendency to cause acute pancreatitis attacks, something

I like to avoid as much as possible.
