Hello everyone! Well, if you are in this forum you are probally not doing too great huh. Well, I can maybe shed a little light on a few things that I am going through. Well, I have had endo. for 14 years. I have had 4 laps, been on every type and mg birth control pill ever made, was given depro, and now I am on lupron. I took my second shot yesterday and the side effects are certainly there. It seems that a restful night sleep is out of the question (not that i can even remember having one of those) O.k. I am sweating my butt off right now, but 5 minutes earlier I was freezing my butt off. The hot flashes and night sweats are just unbearable. I am what they call clinical menapause. Lord help me. Now I really don't know how long it takes to fully be in your systtem, but actually it is helping me somewhat. The pains from the endo are not as bad, I have a little more energy than before (even without getting proper sleep)I don't think that the mood swings have hit me too hard yet, but i can definitely sometimes feel it coming on. I do cry at the drop of a hat, but I am a softy. So far , the worst thing happening to me is the night sweats, hot flashes and constipation. I still have pain but nowhere near what it was. I am 28 years old with no children because of the endo. I am a pretty bad case, so I figured if it can give me some relief, maybe I can inform others that it's a good thing. Now one thing is very important for all women who are being treated is to buy some calcium pills with vitamin D in it. This is very important to avoid bone loss. Also, try not taking correctal or those harsh laxatives. Stick with some good natural fiber pills. It will take a little longer to work, but give it a week and you will be surprised. Well God Bless and I hope that I have helped at least one of many who are suffering and need some answers. Good Luck, Angel At Sat, 22 Sep 2001, Nikki wrote: >

>i just got my second lupron shot and so far the side effects have been pretty bad. i havent had mood swings really, but the hot flashes started just before my second shot and man are they bad. they're happening about every 15 minutes. i've also had dryness, headaches, fatigue at times, sleeplessness at others, i lost 8 pounds my first month on it but am gaining it back, and the pain is just as bad as ever. my first and only lap was done on july 11'th and the pain is far worse now than it was before the surgery. anyways, i think i'm going to not go for a third shot of the lupron next month. it's just not cuttin it for me. but good luck on it. i hope you get better results.
