I was not aware of any connection between Depo Provera and Fibromyalgia.
I had Depo injections in 1987/1988. I became unwell in 1993. In 1999 I was diagnosed with CFS. I have seen 3 neurologists who all agreed the diagnosis.
My partner is a Senior Biomedical Scientist here in UK and he suggested I ask for a c-reactive protein test and Rheumatoid Factor test late last year. Both had a positive reading. My GP said they were False Positives. I had to pay to see private Rheumatologist and early this year I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Further Bone scans showed I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. This results is after 14 years of no real treatment.
Could this have any link to my using Depo Provera for 2 years 20 years ago?
I have seen other articles from the states about a link and wanted to add my plight to the debate.
I would be grateful to find out more.
