I was diagnosed with endometriosis five years ago. I had laproscopy surgery and it was recommended that I start the Lupron shot right after. I had read lots about all of the side effects and decided to just stay on my birth control pill. After four years of dealing with chronic pain, my doctor said the Lupron shot was my best option. At the time my pain made my decision for me. My first shot was ten months ago. I continued with the shot for six months, gained weight, had terrible hot flashes, anxiety attacks, depression, mood swings, exhaustion, memory loss and the pain didn't improve at all! Besides the fact that I was so upset that the shot didn't do what I was hoping I lived with all of the side effects for those six months and I continue to live with them now even though I haven't had a shot for four months. Do these side effects go away? I feel like I am in a fog and often I feel so alone. It is hard to explain to doctors, let alone family and friends what my life is like.
