Lisa,
I had some of the same stuff you did after Lupron, was in the ER 2X!
Have you tried anything like Nexium for the stomach problems? I'm not
sure what sort of stuff you're experiencing, but mine was like the acid
pumps in my stomach had been turned on full throttle. The
gastroenterologist put me on that and it really helped me.
I pray you will feel better really soon!!!
