Jamie, You are definately not alone on this one! I am getting my 3rd shot of Lupron on Thur. and Yes I am also getting hot flashes and Headaches. What works best for my headaches is Ibuprofen and for hot flashes I just make sure I dress very lightly or in layers. My doctor told me that Lupron helps prevent endo from forming. Now I know this doesn't work for everyone ,But I think it's worth a shot(no pun intended,haha) All I can say is I haven't had a period since my first shot and it so nice to be able to take a break from my AWFUL! period. Take care! Kari
