> Melissa if I understood this correctly you are only getting two injections of Lupron.....I was on it for 6 months and yes it was hell but we have to do what we have to do. I have been battling for two years now...next week I am going in for my second Lap and after will be put on Lupron for a year...Yes I'm going back, so it shows if you can be strong and deal with the side effects it's not as bad as everyone says...it's more of an inconvenience. I worked a 9 to 5 job the entire time I was on it....I had memory loss, depression, hair loss...hot flashes, bleeding, severe mood swings...and crying spells...It was chaos, but it worked for about a year and a half...doc says I should of stayed on it for the entire year and maybe I would of had better results. ...There's just no telling everyone is different. I regained my composer about three months after the shots....started noticing things going back to normal. I put my husband through hell...we laugh about it now...middle of the winter and I'm sleeping with the windows open insisting that there is something wrong with him, cause heaven knows I was sweating like a pig....but through it all the most important thing is to keep positive and don't just take our word on concerns ask your doc, cause like I said everyone is different...one last thing everyone bad mouths Lupron....if it works, lucky you...I would do anything for my life to be normal again....you decide your fate don't base it on our opinion. The Other Melissa There is another site that I found on MYSPACE.com it's another message board fore Endo...I feel like it's a little more personal...you should check it out if you haven't already.
