MJ,
I am sorry that you are having such a hard time. I hope that the
doctors will be able to see you today.
I don't want to be miss negativity pants, but I don't like Lupron and
would strongly suggest that you get off of it. It can help or can't
help women with their symptoms, but it hides underneath our bodies and
doesn't show us what it is really doing to us!!
Don't feel bad or anything, you gave it a try and now you feel maybe it
wasn't the right choice and that is fine. I tried it and never ever
will again. I had no facts about it, the doctor said this is what we
are going to do. I didn't know all of the things it could do to me
either. Take care of yourself and I am sending warm wishes your way!
Hugs~`
