calcuim and a multivitamin. Good luck to you as well!

>>>i started my lupron shot after my laproscopy. i knew there would be side effects but i really wasnt prepared for how things would really be. i have been pretty much pain free since the first shot but the side effects are the hardest to deal with. hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety, insomnia, unbearable crying, suicidal thoughts (over absoutely nothing being wrong in my life) and the pain in my joints has been overbearing at times. i had my last shot in july and (hopefully)things will start to look up once i goback to the doctor in october. i hope nothing but the best for you and i pray that you are one of the people who has it easier with lupron than i have. i wish you all the best luck in the world :)
