Carrie,
I agree with the other ladies....plus your doctor probably wants to know how
you are doing and wants to make sure that the lupron is the right drug for
you..he seems very caring and willing to help...You are truely blessed..to
have a doctor who cares and believes you.I wish you all the best and I hope
the Lupron starts to help you soon...If it doesn't help you by the third
month I would be discussing with your doctor if its the right drug for you..
Wishing you all the best ...and I hope that pain eases for you soon.
Best Wishes,
Belle.
