HPV came back... MC related?

I was diagnosed 3 years ago with HPV and within a year my body had fought it and it became inactive. It has now come back and I'm wondering why. Is it because my immune system is fighting such a bigger problem that it's not fighting the HPV as well? Does anyone know if this virus can trigger MC? Now I'm thinking every thing I get these days is MC related. Jeez! Now I have to go in for another colposcopy...not happy. The last thing I need right now is some type of cervical cancer. On a good note, the Vaginosis I had back in October, 2011 is not longer present. So I will not be taking the probiotic he recommended.

I will be hitting heavy doses of Pepto that day as the procedure will make me a nervous wreck. The holidays are stressful for me as it is, now this!

Yikes, so sorry about the HPV relapse. I think stress is the primary culprit behind relapses of MC and viruses. Not sure if HPV is different since it is more localized, not systemic.

@Zizzle...I agree about the stress. I'm sure that the stress of dealing with Celiac and LC in the last 7 months is definitely contributing to this relapse. I just wonder how long it will take this time for my body to fight it. I don't like having to have pap smears twice a year instead of once. Ugh!
