Your story with Lupron seems to be the most successful of all stories I
read about (almost one year pain-free, no long-term side effects,
right?).
I am scheduled to take Lupron in a week. I am almost sure I will not
take it (due to not as severe pain/endo level and plans of having a baby
in close future - if I can), but after your mail I am not 100% sure. I
know it is very individual matter (side effects etc.), but still it
gives some hope.
Anyway, thanks. Good luck to you.

>Well, my pain came back about about a year after taking my last shot, when my dr did a lap he said that all he saw was a little endo and a cyst. Well less than a year after that i'm in enormous pain so i don't think he was looking in the right place....i'll look at thie link you sent, when my dr put on lupron the only thing he told me was that i have to stop after six months because it depletes bone density and that to use birth control because it promotes fertility.....
