Today I started my period...this is the first since surgery and lupron a
year ago. Along with my period ALL other symptoms are back....starting
about a week ago. I am depressed, I had no idea how many awful symptoms
that I had until they were gone. Here it is a year later and I am back
to where I started. I would take the lupron side effects over this
anyday. Anyone feeling the same?? Aimee
