I am 26 years old and I was diagnosed with endometriosis last yea...

This is very similar to my situation. I just recently had my 2nd Lap to remove a huge cyst from my left ovary. They were able to save my ovaries and disconnect my large intestine from my ovary. I still have tons of terrible endo on my liver, abdominal wall, everywhere so my doc said I needed to go on Lupron to feel better and be relieved of the pain. I got my 1st 1 month shot a week ago and had an awfully painful period a few days later which I wasn't expecting at all. I got through it and have not had cramps for 4 days. I haven't noticed any side effects really except starting to feel light hot flashes tonight. I am supposed to start my add-back therapy patches next week to help with the side effects. I'll do anything to get rid of the pain I've been in for 14 years. I am remaining positive and even though my tubes are still blocked, I am hopeful that eventually after the Lupron, I will be able to conceive using IVF. Good luck to you and everybody! lizcox27@aol.com

I will be 31 at end of the month and much like yourself have suffered pelvic pain since I was 19 and was always mis-diagnosed. I will start my second shot soon and again like yourself have have all the same symptoms you do. IT may be our age. I have others I know but were much younger than I who were on the shots and had only the flashes. My knees hurt off and on and I have constant chest pain. Sometimes my knees hurt so bad they almost buckle under me. Any way I had a pretty severe case as well, My belly button was removed for it was all full of endo, bladder was covered (hense the 9 bladder infections last year), ovaries were saturated with it so bad they had adhered themselves to my uterus which was also covered along with the back side of my utereus. Ugh...! never again will I have this done. After my shots then birth control unless we want children, and after all that if it comes back, all is coming out, even the ovaries. Good Luck to you!
