Hi Brenna,

Welcome. All I can say is that we are all different and we all react different to treatments. I did Lupron for 3 out of the 6 months. My doctor took me off of it due to the fact that I got very bad side effects and that he felt that it was not working for me at all. I felt no better on it, in fact I felt worse. The pain and the side effects combined made me completely nutso. That is my situation with Lupron, but on the other hand I had no endo removed and I am stage 3-4. My doc did not want to due to the fact that he felt that he did not know enough about the desease. So it could be that he treated me and that I should have gotten the endo removed first before endo and it might have worked better. I am seeing a specialist next Monday the 7th and we will talk of removing the endo. Being that you removed the endo first maybe that will give you better reaction and be more benificial to you. I have talked to people who have done Lupron and some call it the Miricle drug so maybe it will work for you. I hope so if you do decide to use it. Good luck and Pain Free Wishes.

Jess
