Hey, sorry I just read your note. Lupron was the worst thing I could
have ever done to myself. (bone density loss, memory loss, hot flashes,
moody wreck, I think I went insane for a while, my teeth cracked, and
sex hurt bad, like there was a tack stuck in me upon entry). I
eventually quite Lupron after four months and it took about a good year
to get myself back mentally. It was that feeling after you wake up from
surgery.(foggy) Sorry you had to go througgh this. It will end after
you end Lupron. Some people like Lupron, not me though. Good
luck,-Amanda
