Hey there,
I am quite new to this forum and you are my first responder!
No, I did not gain any weight on the lupron. The whole endo experience has
helped me make some healthy choices in my life. Started a healthier diet,
and lifestlye in general, thus, I have actually lost weight. Any other
questions that I can help you with, would be glad to try.
I have just finished six months of the lupron, and am currently waiting to
see what my first menstrual cycle will be like. Two months ago I had my
right ovary removed (cysts) and +++ adhesions removed, as well as my uterus
was retroverted (pulled back) and attached to my bowel. So, the lupron has
allowed everything to heal nicely. Now it is just time to figure out what
to do next.
Hope this answers some of your questions. I would really try getting
accupuncture for pain, worked amazingly well for me.
Cheers, Karen
