Sunday, 2/27/05... I am the mother of a 15 year old girl who I think
has endometriosis. They are recommending Lupron, without a laperoscopy,
to see if it helps. Severe stomach pain, bad cramps at period, at
ovulation, and latelly all the time. Pain when she eats, pain with
bowel movements. She's been treated for IBS for years, but getting
worse.
How are you now? Looking back, how was Lupron, and did it help? Side
effects?
Thanks...
