Lupron and arms and legs

hot flashes, hair loss, memory loss, bone and joint pain, seizures, hand and foot twitches, crawling sensations in arms and legs, accelerated facial aging, and chronic insomnia. I would rather deal with the pain of endometriosis than the HELL of Lupron!

This is the drug from hell! Nothing really happened after my first one-month shot, just a few mild hot flashes. My doctor had wanted to give me the three-month shot, but I insisted on the one-month to see how my body reacted. A month later I was given the three-month injection. The hot flashes increased dramatically. About a week later I started to feel like I was truly going insane. I was having serious panic attacks, I could cry over absolutely nothing, and I had this wierd disconnected feeling. Couldn't sleep, was exhausted yet had nervous energy, palpitations, feeling of unease all the time. This was pretty intense for a few days and was quite frightening. I had severe headaches, and I am not a person who gets headaches very often. Worst of all, I have had SEVERE joint and muscle pain. Twenty years of fibromyalgia was NOTHING compared to this. I had never had neck and back problems before, and now I'm experiencing pain all the time. I get weakness in my arms and legs, and often I feel a strange twitching feeling in my legs and neck. It has been over two months since I had that three-month injection. I'm due to go back for another one in early July, and I've already decided against it. The hot flashes seemed less intense for a little while, but now they're increasing along with night sweats. Nothing helps with the vaginal dryness, so my sex life is non-existent (not that I really care since this has killed my sex drive anyway). I had read about some of the scarier side effects before going through with this and asked my doctor about them, and he brushed my concerns off, saying that this stuff doesn't happen, I would likely just get some hot flashes. I'm very upset that I was pushed into having the three-month injection because now I'm stuck with this poison in my body. I think the pharmaceutical companies push the three-month injections. They got paid by my insurance company, that's all they care about and there's nothing I can do about this now. Anybody know if the doctors are getting kickbacks for pushing this on patients? For me this was follow-up treatment after having surgery to remove endometriosis and to remove one ovary that was severely affected. With that ovary gone I don't even know how necessary it was to follow up with Lupron. I'm 42 and will probably be going into menopause in a few years. Despite endometriosis I was able to have a baby at age 37 and was then free of endometriosis for almost four years. I will say I would probably think this was all worth it if I was going to try to get pregnant again, but I'm not, so I think this was all an unnecessary risk to my health. Anybody with similar experiences or info on Lupron, please feel free to email me at ****** Good luck to all!

I had my second shot today. So far severe night sweats,bone pain in hands and feet,some numbness in arms and legs.No memory problems so far. If bone pain become worse will not continue treatment. Has not seemed to help with the endo as mich as I would have liked but am still hoping symptoms will improve.Also have nausea everyday!
