My doctor warned me that the pain from endometriosis would get worse before it gets better... it definitely got worse, but I'm not seeing the "better". My pain is less frequent, yes, but it's still there, and sometimes worse than it used to be. I did 2 injections, and since I'm not satisfied with the results, I won't be continuing this therapy. The mood swings that I went through almost cost me my marriage - there's only so many times crazy behavior can be blamed on this medication before people begin to blame you and not the shot... I gained maybe 3-5 pounds, my feet swell and sometimes my hands... the worst thing has to be the hot flashes and night sweats. At 27 years old, and as someone who used to be cold all the time, I can't take the constant sweating and feeling like my hands are on fire. I've only gotten my period twice this year (due to another hormone therapy before this shot), and when I had it once on Lupron, I bled for a week and spotted for an additional 2 weeks. It caused an infection, and the odor was so offensive that I couldn't stand to be near myself. That one cleared up, but then I got another infection less than 2 weeks later. For me, this shot was not worth my time or effort. I'm going off all hormone therapies and I'm just going to deal with the symptoms I have and get on with my life.
