Julie,

I haven't experienced any worsening of my condition due to Lupron. I just finished a second round of it (first one was in 2001) and for me, it is truly a miracle drug. I have no pain or other symptoms at all while on the Lupron. My pain, etc. has not seemed to have gotten any worse, etc. from the shots. For me, I tend to stay pretty pain and symptom free for a year or more after the shots are done.

Lupron is a very scary decision. I debated for several years before I finally tried it due to no other real options. I am glad I did do it since it helps me so much, but everyone reacts very different to it. You could search the archives on the forum for posts on Lupron and find good and bad stories. Just listen to your instinct, do the research and make a decision for yourself. I am 33 now but pretty much know I will have a hysto in the next couple years. This last round of Lupron was just to buy some time as I wasn't ready for menopause yet, but I have made the very personal and difficult decision to have a hysto when the endo returns. I do not feel that Lupron will cause me to have a hysto any sooner than I would have had I not taken it.

Hang in there! If you ever want to talk privately, feel free to email me.

Hugs! Amy Meyer
