Re: new to site and have questionsFrom: j (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Mar 29 11:50:01 2005
I was only on the lupron for three months but it was not effective for me. The side effects did kick in. Mostly just the hot flashes. I really couldn't eat that much either (lost some weight, good or bad depending how you look at it!), maybe that was just nerves about the whole thing. The side effects lasted about a month even after I was done. Sorry I can't remember more, it seems so long ago. j At Tue, 29 Mar 2005, Lori wrote: > >Well, as I'm VERY new to this problem (was only diagnosed last week) I'm >not sure how much I can help, but I can tell you that I just had surgery >on the 24th to remove a 4cm and 2- 2cm endometriomas from my ovaries.
