I read up on Lupron and was very hesitant in taking the shot, However, my doctor convinced me that it would be helpful with my Endo which is a stage 4. My doctor said well any medicine is like a restaurant if the side effects are bad then everyone knows just like if you get bad service. Well I got my first shot about a month ago and I think I should have listened to myself, I traded one pain for a ton of others. I have severe depression at times and the bone pain is almost more than I can bare. I live on Advil to keep the pain under control. I can barely get out of bed in the morning b/c I hurt so bad and I can barely walk. I am losing hair and it is thinning out horribly. I too have put on weight with regular exercise and watching my diet. I get heart palpitations to where my heart feels like it is going to jump out of my chest and this is the first month. I am afraid of what the next month will bring. I am only 35 and didn't want to get a hysterectomy.

I read your story on Lupron, and wanted to know if your hair thinning was due to the lupron? Did the Lupron help the stage 4 endo? I have stage 5 endo as well as other issues and am contemplating going on Lupron. I would love to hear what you have to say.

Thanks
