Please think twice about taking lupron. There is a national victims
assoc. on-line. I took lupron for 4 months. I got hot flashes(this is
the most positive part), night sweats, insomina, my immune system
failed(bronchitis, 2 ear infections, flu, and staff infections all
within the 4 months I took lupron. Also, I broke two ribs and a toe. If
you do decided to try it, be sure to take calcium supplements. At least
1500 mg.
Best wishes,
Amy
