Amy,
I am currently on Lupron. It has done nothing for me as far as the
pain. My side effects aren't that bad at all. I have vaginal dryness
which is annoying and uncomfortable. Night sweats which is not a big
deal. Hardly any hot flashes, and I have just started to get headaches.
I have been on Lupron for 5 months. The first time I went on Lupron the
side effects were almost the same except that I have less mood swings
than the time before. The first time I had the lap I then went on
Lupron for 6 month, which did nothing,(it works differently for
everyone)I go in for another Lap next week. Keep me updated with what
you decide DC (sorry about the jumping around of thoughts)
