Hi I just joined this forum but I saw that you guys were discussing
Lupron. I also have endometriosis. I was diagnosed with it when I was
12 yrs old. I have had 2 laparascopies, several courses of treatment
which include Birth Control Pills and also Lupron. My question is, how
soon after you take the Lupron do you resume normal periods? I have had
2 3-month injections within the last past 6 months. My last injection
was on September 30 of this year. I hope that someone will be able to
help. Thank you.

I work for a lady who also has endo, and she has migraines, too. So I guess I'm lucky in that respect. While I was on the Lupron, I didn't miss near as much work as before! And, my boss usually misses more than I do, anyway. :)
