Im almost 19, and in summer of 08 I started having terribly sever abdominal pain, mostly in my right side right where you appendix is. I was sent to the ER multiple times because my OB thought I had appendicitis. I went through many MRI's, lots of blood work and ultrasounds and every time they tried to tell me that my appendix was fine and the implied that I was over reacting and the pain wasn't real. The only thing that they found was free fluid in my abdomen which they said was probably from a ovarian cyst. But the thing with that was that my pain should've been better after the cyst ruptured and it had not improved at all. Finally, my OB did another ultrasound and found that I had a blood clot on my right ovary. So my OB told me that she HAD to go in and do a laparoscopy in order to remove the cyst. When I woke up from surgery I was surprised to find out that not only did I have a blood clot, I had endometriosis all over my abdomen especially on my appendix causing so many problems there that she had to remove it. My doctors opinion on how to treat the ENDO was simple, to go on Lupron. She told me that people just RAVED about how good this drug was. Because of the pain I had been in before the surgery, I was very quick to decide to take the lupron. The first shot was the beginning of my problems. I cannot even begin to remember all of the problems I've had. The hot sweats where UNREAL. I mean I would be drenched in sweat. I could barely stand to have clothes on. I mean, every 10 minutes I would suffer from another hot sweat. They were constant. I was extremely nauseous. I would constantly throw up. My appetite was ruined, I became very sore all over my body. The most horrible of all of the side effects was the weight gain. I was around 130 pounds at the beginning of the shots I now weigh over 160 pounds and I BARELY EAT! and what I do eat is healthy, I work out, when I can, and still, no weight loss. I just continue to gain with every shot. I am on shot 4 of 6 right now and have decided to quit. I can't deal with the horrible side effects of this drug.
