hi 'confusedinendo';)

i see you have a lot of posts, but i'll put mine in anyway.

i'm like you, and have endo everywhere, which is impossible to remove by surgery, and i just recieved my second injection of lupron about a week or so ago.

horror stories will be online because people who do not have good side effects from lupron are those that want/need the support and therefore feel the need to tell people about it so they can share their stories and feel like they're not the only ones suffering (i'm one of them).

i was so scared and so nervous about trying lupron. but, i decided to try it, because i wanted to see if it would work, and if didn't or i would get bad side effects, then i could always go off of it and try something else.

for the first month, it hasn't been easy, but when i saw my gyne after the first month, he said that bad side effects can linger for up to 5 or 6 weeks after the first injection. he convinced me to go for one more month and that if i was still feeling like how i am at the end of the second month, then we could try something else.

the cost is something that isn't fun either, i know. i'm lucky and get covered by not only my university medical, but by my fathers work as well. however, because lupron is so effective, its worth the cost, i believe.

i'd suggest for you to try it for one or two months. my pain has nearly completely disappeared, but i have some side effects that i dont really like with the lupron. i had headaches for the first month, and still continue to have nausea, but really nothing that tea doesn't help. i have also been feeling depressed, which is the main reason for me wanting to stop lupron at the end of this month if it doesnt get better, and that occurs because i am not producing any more estrogen. it's just mainly that i can't exactly control all my emotions, and if i'm confined in my apartment for longer than a day without getting out as i dont work much, it gets worse, so its quite variable depending on diet, work and activity. theres no harm in trying...

good luck:)
