i just had my 3rd shot this past weekend. I'm still having ALOT of hot flashes, and i hate them. I'm very emotional and cry over stupid things that never would have effected me before. I don't like that feeling. My sleep is awful. When i finally do fall asleep, i'm waking up constantly because of hot flashes and nightsweats. Because of my lack of sleep, i've had bronchitis twice already. I'm so tired all of the time since i'm not sleeping. I've noticed that i get annoyed easily and i'm beginning to feel increasingly depressed. A new side effect i've noticed is limb jerking. my arms or legs will suddenly give a slight involuntary jerking movement, somewhat like that feeling you get when you're sleeping and feel like you're falling. My weight is fluctuating. One week i'll have lost 5 pounds, then gained 7 pounds the next week and on and on...i'm annoyed easily and i have absolutley no sex drive. I hate this so much and don't want to ever do it again, but the thought of the pain i had before is even worse. i feel backed against a wall. i'd like to just have a hysterectomy and be done with it, but i'm too you apparently (25). I'm trying desperately to find out if this is my only option. there MUST be something else out there. anyway good luck everyone
