I'm scared to death of lupron, I have bi-polar disorder and I'm afraid
Lupron would send me right over the edge...How bad is Lupron. I can't
handle any more mood swings than I already have (LOTS) and I'm afraid it
will turn me into a man or something. Just afraid. I completely
understand the pain med frustration!!!
I was just diagnosed, had surgery (stage 4), post op infection, etc...2
months ago. I'm 37, single, no kids. Depressed. Knew something was
wrong for a long time, just never properly diagnosed. What pain med do
you use? THANKS
