That's exactly why I was curious. Lupron scares the heck out of me too,
so seeing that your side effects are apparently milder than those most
people experience with Lupron got my attention. My OBGyn has been
pushing me to take Lupron for months and I just don't know if the side
effects out weigh my pain. Sometimes I think I'd rather be in pain,
even as bad as it is, than go through that. I am definately going to
ask my new doc about the Synarel. Thanks for sharing!
