Lupron and god

I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis approximately 2 1/2 years ago. I have fibroids all over my ovaries, uterus, and cervix. I had lapo. surgery 2 years ago to burn away the tissue and help treat the endo. Recently, the excruciating pain has returned and my OBGYN has put me on dalaudid for the pain and said my only option at this point is the Lupron. I received my first shot about 3 weeks ago. I was TOTALLY against doing it shots, but was told by my OBGYN and my fertility doctor that it was my only choice. After reading some of the comments on here I want to refuse my next shot and just deal with the god awful pain of the endo. I am so confused and don't know what the heck to do. If anyone had any advice with where I should go from here, please respond to my comment. Thank you so much.

I had 3 injections of lupron Jan Feb and March and I stopped. I still feel lousy, my bones ache. Ever since the first shot I have not felt good thinking that this would help me, it did not. I wish people would stop talking about the price of this medication and start talking about the side affects. I sit and cry from my aches, I won't even go back to any Doctor. Thank-God that it is only so severe 3 weeks out of the month. has anyone experienced such side affects. and by the way my period never did stop and I am still in much pain from that.

This is my second time taking the shot. Every 3 months... When they gave me the shot my butt hurt for a week... there was a huge knot that came up thank god it has gone away. I have hot flashes all the time; some times I even have Sharpe pains in my stomach. Memory Loss... which is not a good thing with the type of job that I have... I am always tired... and have a headache... my body hurts quite often... the only thing that is good is I have not had a period... which i am starting to get worried... when will the lupron shot be OUT of my system.. I am 23 and me and my husband are trying to have kids and imp scared if we have to wait to long that day wont come... I have already had to go under surgery twice first time was a cyst on my over the second time was a miscarriage and Endometriosis this past Feb... so I am very worried, the Dr. said that I was very fertile and that after I finish the treatment we could start trying to have a baby... just wondering if anyone is going thru the same thing.. And wondering what the doctor has told you...Or if you would be able to give me some answers… thanks

Hi: My doctor has suggested me lupron depot 3.75mg for three months before doing supracervical laparoscopy. I did ask the doctor about the side effects and she said that you might get hot flashes and mood swings. Thats all she said about the side effects. My first shot is on Tuesday April 15/08. After reading all these experiences i am so scared to take them and planning to talk to the doctor again and looking into the abdominal hystrectomy instead of supracervical laparoscopy. Do you guys think that because it is 3.75mg and not 7 or more mg it might not have that many side effects.
God, I am so confused now, please help me out here.

Mood swings week following injections, slight hair loss, memory loss, headaches day of injection and couple days after, lack of concentration. Just had last (6th) injection about 11 days ago and started spotting about 5 days ago and cramping? Oh, also other major PMS symptoms, craving chocolate, salty things, very very irritable, and acne on chin area, neck, and shoulders? It caught me off guard a little considering I haven't had a period in almost 5 months. I assumed the Lupron would still be in my system? Called dr. and of course all they could say is "sometimes this happens and to wait till I come in for my follow up appt."? No explanation as to why? I was under the assumption that I wouldn't start AF or have these symptoms for another month or two. However, even with all of these side effects I have no pain, YET. I'm hoping for the best, also hoping I don't get divorced soon from all the moodiness!

I am 50 years old...nearly bled to death from fibroids and became anemic. I had extremely heavy periods and had to receive a transfusion of 2 units of blood when my blood count went down to 7. My options were 1) Do
nothing...2) Take 6 months of Lupron to hopefully bump me into menopause....3) Fibroid embellization...4) Hysterectomy. I am trying to avoid a hysterectomy....and needed time to get my blood count up before any other procedure. I have had some of the side affects...hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats,.....but I had them before because I was pre-menapausal anyway so there is really no difference. Have not noticed any weight gain and I get my 3rd shot today. Everyone's body is different...for now Lupron has been a life saver for me.

I'm 44, was diagnosed in Dec 07 with endometriosis. Started Lupron Therapy in January 08. The hot flashes are terrible. So far have not had any other symptoms that I know of. I have just taken my third shot. Other than the hot flashes that are worst at night and tend to keep me awake most of the night, I haven't had many other effects. I get some headaches, not too bad or too often. I have had a little weight gain but, I am on Wellbutrin and trying to quit smoking so the weight gain can be attributed to this as well. I'm not really sure what to expect after the therapy but, will be having a hysterectomy. I have not had any pain in more than two months and that makes me very happy. After almost 2 years of constant pain, I know there is now an end in sight. I wouldn't recommend this for everyone but, for me, it has been a God send.
