I was loosing handfuls of hair before taking this shot, and now I may lose one or two strands in the shower. My hair was drying out and nails breaking easily, but now both are as healthy as while pregnant. It is different for everyone.

Hang in there. I am on my second shot, I have one shot every month for 6 months. Severe migrains (normal side effect), nausia (usually brought on by the migrains), hot flashes, no sleep, exhausted, angry and sad, severe mood swings, aches after shot (usually last a couple of days), cramping around my menstural cycle (or when my menstural cycle should be) and before I am due for a shot. I don't believe that I have lost any hair but from other sites that I have visited some women have. My doctor said that the migrains should go
away soon ( I hope he isn't fibbing). My hope is simple, I just want it to all be worth it in the end. I will tolerate all of these things as long as there is some (hopefully a lot) improvement with the endo. The endo is forever, the shots are for 6 months.
