Symptoms Of Dry Eye Syndrome
Sunday, July 24th, 2011Can the Depo Provera shot cause joint pain?
I have Sjogren’s syndrome, and started the Depo Provera shots for other reasons last week. I know joint pain is a common symptom of sjogren’s syndrome, but prior to the shot my joint pain was negligible. Could the shot be causing this, or is it more likely a flair up of my SS? My skin and eyes are dryer, too.
I think it might be the case. Depo-Provera affects your whole endocrine system, which can affect your immune system, and Sjogren’s is an autoimmune disease. It’s not something that would appear I think in any medical journal articles, because it’s too specific to do any research on, probably. But if I were you, I’d stay away from anything that affects your hormones. Another possible link is that those with Sjogren’s have a higher chance of getting autoimmune thyroid disease. Thyroid problems can cause your joints to hurt. Get your thyroid checked.
Topical lubricants, steroids may help dry eye due to Sjögren’s syndrome
