Wow. I have been reading all of your comments about Lupron and I am shocked. Here I am fighting with my insurance company to let me take a second course of Lupron. I only was given 6 months worth and FDA (according to my insurance) won't allow me anymore because of the dangers???? I have been in severe pain with accompanying problems from endo. Had a complete hyrsterectomy already years ago, but the endo came back (which I did not know it could) in various other organs that you can't operate on. My only choice was Lupron. I would be down in bed 2 or 3 times a week with the pain from endo, which irritated my bladder, my bowels, my sex life, you name it. Upon receiving the 2nd shot I felt so good I almost screamed! NO PAIN! It was the best 6 months of my life. Now I am in total and severe pain everyday. Having fibromyalgia on top of it does not help either. Anyway, I just thought I would voice my experience with Lupron.

While I understand you want to take a second series of Lupron, please think about the consequences. I took only three months worth of injections in 2004 and I have not been the same. I have developed Lupus (which does run in the family soooo I can't prove this triggered it), my endo hasn't changed any, my memory is horrible. I have a hard time concentrating on anything. I gained 40 pounds in those three months. I have known other women who have the same problems. Be glad that you didn't have a problem with the first series, and think HARD before you even try that second series. It could be a determining factor between your current life/personality/health.

I wish you luck with your decision, and hope you make the right one for you.
