JThomas, I, too, have both KP and lupus and have wondered for years if there was a link (I am 48). But I also received massive doses of progesterone (via injection) during my early 30s to control endometriosis (a condition now thought to be auto-immune-related, as is lupus). That treatment induced a false state of pregancy, and my KP got much worse in the years following. After reading about all the women whose KP got worse after pregnancy, I am now really wondering about the hormone link, as well as the possible auto-immune problem. Terri
