Wow, I must be one of the very few lucky people out there that had a good, no awesome experience with Lupron. After graduating from High School in 2005, I moved on to college. It was here that I started gaining weight, having blurred vision, moody, bad periods, intense cramping, and just general unhappiness. I just wanted to be normal. After gaining 100 pounds in 2 years, yeah thats right, I went from a #1 Volleyball player, Im tall, who weighed in at 150 pounds to a 250 pound unhappy woman, I decided that I needed help, I wouldn't eat for days, and I would gain 10 pounds. SO, off I went to the doctor. Well, after 43 blood tests, 9 xrays, 5 ct scans, 2 ultra sounds, 10 trips to the ER and so many bills I was in debt, I had an answer. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. My only question, Thats IT?? Well now, a surgery could cure that right?? Ha, so I had surgery and that is where they found Endometriosis lining my insides, wonderful, how much more lucky could I get? haha. That is when my doctor said I could try Lupron. She explained side affect, and gave me info, and said it was up to me. At this point I just wanted to finish college, so I went for it. Best decision I have ever made!! I finished my first 6 month treatment in October 2007, and have been pain free for over a year now, a few hot flashed and headaches were worth it for me, I have never felt better. Now Im married and trying for baby no 1, and I have never been happier. Goes to show the miracle of how each individual is different, and you never know whats going to happen in the future.

I must be in that lucky category as well. Over the past 10 years I have had Lurpron injections 3 times (just had the 3rd one yesterday) and out side of a few hot flashes and mild headaches Lupron has been a welcomed relief for me. I guess it just depends on the person. Although Lupron has worked well for me I don't advocate the continued use of any drug that alters your system the way this one does. I have found that I can control my Endo pretty good by eating a vegatarian diet and cutting out all white flour and white sugar. I plan to take advantage of this next six months on Lupron to get use to eating this way so that I never have to take the product again.
