i developed interstitial cystitis while on lupron. don't know if it's
just a coincidence or not, but it really does make me leery of trying
anything else to treat endo. so far, i'm just trying to fight through
the pain and avoid painkillers. it's getting a little harder to do.
i know of a few other women who developed IC while on lupron. i think
estrogen loss is bad for the bladder personally. makes me wonder if it
was bound to happen anyway when i hit menopause naturally. at least
right now, i know what it is and mostly how to cope with it.
