I had my first Lupron shot on Jan 22, 07 to shrink an ovarian cyst that measured almost 4 inches. The hot flashes are quite ridiculous and wake me up every hour or so at night. I go from feeling so hot to so cold so fast. Also experiencing some joint paint - but I also have a mild form of Lupus and it could be related to that. Feel nauseous every couple of weeks. No periods. Other than that, until I get my next ultrasound to see if the cyst is shrinking, I have been quite happy with Lupron. It's not been fun, but it's better than the unbearable pain near the end of every period that kept me in bed for 2 days at a time. I've not felt any abdominal pain since early January so I'm hoping that means it's working. I feel awful for those who have had a horrible experience.

that is true i have been sick for over 6yrs of having bad cramps, nausea and irregular priod for long time sometimes i get for my priod for over 2 months some months i will not get any period. i went evert ER in our city, the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me. i am having alot of pain in my abdominol i got worst over years. i couldn't even go to the restroom by my self it was hunting me. i didn't know it was endometriosis that i am having so does the doctors. even all the resolt came back as normal. the ultrasound, ct scan, blood the doctor test everything was normal. finally my doctor said lets try again since i am having the pain. she got the resolt it came back i have a cyst in my left side. the doctor recommended lupron and i took her advise since she is my doctor and sees my sitiuations now I am taking for about 4 months and i have my last one on jul 2008 i will see when she checks on the ultrasound if it shrinked it would be nice if not then i guess i will do the surgery as she told me. thanks
