Re: LupronFrom: NIKKIE (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Aug 31 10:23:29 2004
I TOO AM ON LUPRON. THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE THEIR FOR ME BUT MY PAIN HAS SUBSIDED. EACH PERSON IS DIFFERENT AND I TOO WAS SCARED ABOUT THIS TREATMENT BUT I HOPE IT WILL BE WORTH IT THE LONG RUN AND SO FAR I FEEL LIKE IT IS. EACH PERSON IS DIFFERENT. BUT I FELT IT WAS THIS OR A HYSTO. FOR PEOPLE KNOCKING THIS LUPRON IT SCARES PEOPLE IT SCARED ME. TRY TO KEEP IT IN THE I FORM. THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BAD FOR YOU BUT MIGHT NOT BE FOR EVERYONE ELSE. YES THE SIDE EFFECTS FOR ME ARE BOTHERSOME BUT SO FAR THE DOCTOR HAS BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME SOMTHING FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS I AM EVEN TAKING B12 SHOTS WITH IT. ANYONE DECIDING ON LUPRON TALK IT OVER WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND ALSO GIVE IT A CHANCE. YOU CAN ALWAYS STOP IT AT ANYTIME.

First of all don't beleive everything you read! 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?
