Members explored the possible connection between PCOS and fibromyalgia, with several sharing that they developed fibro after being diagnosed with PCOS or having their ovaries removed, suggesting a potential hormonal or surgical link. Several members also mentioned having endometriosis alongside fibromyalgia, with one member crediting the Mirena coil as life-changing for managing endometriosis symptoms over nearly 20 years, though others noted that laparoscopic surgery often provides only temporary relief. A recurring theme was the overlap of chronic conditions in women's health and the long, frustrating journey many face in getting accurate diagnoses and effective treatment.
