Re: Depra Lupron (it's actually 'LUPRON DEPOT')From: Abby (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri May 2 14:23:45 2003
>>> >>I'm sorry, but this is just about the most ridiculous thing I have ever >>read on this board. No reason to be skeptical about Lupron Depot?? How >>about the facts that a.) it's NOT a cure, b.) is only effective in SOME >>of the patients that take it and c.) most importantly, has massively >>awful side effects - long lasting - in A LOT of women? That right there >>would be enough to give me pause! As for your doctor, he should be >>arrested for medical assault and battery - Lupron is NOT approved for >>those under 18 yrs. of age for Endo therapy and just because he is too >>incompetent to remove all your Endo, does not give him the right to >>subject you to a long term course of chemical therapy. By the way, if >>you want kids, you should know that Depo Provera comes with a risk of >>never ovulating again in some users. FYI maybe you should talk to your >>doc about that. As for you slipping into a coma, that's positively >>ridiculous, where did this doctor get his license to practice medicine? >>Women with even severe advanced stages of Endo get their Endo excised >>EVERY SINGLE DAY by Endo specialists who can perform thorough surgeries >>eradicating ALL Endo from ALL locations, in surgeries that take >>sometimes up to 8 hrs. or even longer in some cases - you don't hear >>about all those women slipping into comas because their surgery took too >>long, do you? How long do you think other surgeries take? i.e., cancer >>removal, heart surgery, brain surgery, etc. Some of those people are >>under for up to 11 or 12 hrs. and they don't "slip into a coma," for >>goodness' sake. Absurd! Your doctor is seriously negligent in his >>knowledge regarding Endo and surgery, and he's got you fooled but good >>into thinking you have no other choices. What you need to do, is get a >>new doctor immediately - a REAL Endo specialist, not someone like the >>Dr. Dumbass you have now - get off the drugs that were never approved >>for those under 18 and have significant potential risks and side >>effects, and stop telling others not be worried about these serious >>drugs just because you're not informed enough to be worried!!!! Great >>that you never have pain on the therapy...come see us in about 6 mos. or >>a year and let us know THEN how your bone mass density is - since GnRH >>therapy prevents young women from ever reaching their peak bone density >>- and if you'll ever be able to ovulate again - since Depo Provera can >>cause that - and how your memory, joints, and returning pain levels are >>doing - since those are prominent side effects of the drug you feel no >>one should be skeptical about. Then you can sue your doctor for giving >>you a drug that even the manufacturer states is NOT intended for those >>under 18 in Endo treatment. Till then, stop giving the bad advice you >>were given to everyone else here and get >>informed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>I'd like to hear from women who had repeated endo surgery because it kept growing back! Bone loss from Lupron is REVERSIBLE. If you want to prevent it in thefirst place, you can have add back therapy while on Lupron. You're also wrong that Lupron can't be prescribed for those under 18. And if you were correct, the pharmacists would all lose their licenses as well.
