Hello Anna,
I know you are already on your third month of the lupron shot, but you
should ask your doc to put you on Norethindrone 5mg tablets. I can
honestly say it worked wonders for me. I have endo stage 3 borderline
4. Both my ovaries and my colon are stuck to my uterus. My ovaries are
the size of tennis balls. but anyway my doc put me on Norethindrone
while I was on the Lupron shot. I did not have one night sweat or one
hot flash. It worked great for me. It might not work the same for
everyone but it is worth a shot. Let me know what you think and if you
have any questions don't hesitate to ask. :)
