Denny, awhile back on Lactnet (um, like a year or two?) there was discussion
about an article that linked high prolactin and Rheumatoid Arthritis,
another autoimmune disease that affects far more women than men. A study
came out with worrisome, seemingly convincing data for a link between
prolactin and RA. I don't know if I've heard anything about it since,
though, and I'm afraid I only have the vaguest memory. And I wasn't newly
postpartum at the time I read about it either :-)
