Hi Lori,
Thank you for your reply. I am also 27 yrs old. Just turned 27 last
week. I was actually taking Syranel for three weeks before I had my
first Lupron shot and the side effects are the same and they both do the
same. I guess that's why I have had a few more side affects. I have
had really bad headaches, hot flashes, cold flashes, mood swings (just
ask my fiancee). My fiancee was afraid of my yesterday, I was just
moody because I was hurting and had a headache though. I try not to be
moody, but I can't help it. Atleast he unstands that it is because of
the Lupron and I am not like that normally. Well I hope all goes well
for you with the lupron and hopefully both of our men will survive
through it too :)
Take care,
Jamie
