My daughter is going for her first laparoscopy, Tuesday.  She is 20 yrs old.
I am her mother and have had a rough menopause.  I had bad reactions to ERT
therapy, and I know what hormones did to my body.   Therefore, I am worried
about Lupron therapy for my daughter.  Menopause is no picnic.  I have heard
the horror stories and wonder if she should go that way because it seems
so drastic.  Can anyone else give me any insight to the aftermath of Lupron?
I am so worried for her, any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Carole
