Tiffany, Everyone reacts to Lupron differently. I put put off trying Lupron for years because I was worried about all the negative things I had read about it. I finally tried it last year due to not having too many other options. My experience was great! I did have night sweats and hot flashes, but found those to be more annoying than anything. I would be sick at my stomach and get a bad migraine the first day or two after getting the actual shot, but then those symptoms would go away. And I found my butt to be really sore for a few days at the injection site (kinda like it feels when you get a tetnus (sp?) shot). I did 9 months of shots (the last three I took add back therapy which totally eliminated the hot flashes and night sweats) and was pain free the entire time! I even stayed pain free for about a year after stopping them. I have to say that I would definitely do it again! You really just have to weigh out the good and the bad and make a decision for YOURSELF. Do not let anyone else tell you what to do.

Good luck! Feel free to email me privately if you want to talk more about it.
