Second of all, I feel the main reason we hear about all the negative side effects from lupron within this site is that we are all here looking for support. Very rarely do I come in here and see anything positive. It makes me sick when I read about someone scared to try lupron becuase of what they have read in here. I haven't had any side effects other than what my specialist told me I would have and I don't foresee me having any down the road. The recommended dosage is not suppose to exceed 6 shots, so the story in the "newspaper" stated that the woman had been on lupron for 18 months, maybe that could have something to do with it? Also, are all the lupron users taking the amount of calcium/vit D supplements that you are supposed to take while on lupron? Do you smoke on lupron? I understand and beleive that lupron has nasty side effects but I feel that people aren't giving something a chance becuase they are scared to death from everything they have heard, my husband often tells me not to read to much and now I know why!! Sorry for all of you who were given the option to take lupron and didn't because you were scared from what you have heard on here. Everyone reacts differently to everything and I don't know of one product out there that doesn't have potential side effects. I am fianlly pain free because of lupron and thank god for it!! That is something I haven't been able to say for the better part of my life.
