I too, have just started Lupron and I have been in so much pain this past week that I missed an entire week of work. I also had extreme nausea and spent thanksgiving in bed in excrutiating pain, much worse than before the laparoscopy. My understanding is that the 1st month is the worst! Because of the surge of hormones it makes the symptoms worse!! I am also 22 and I'm having a hard time with all of this. I am also experiencing the headaches and backaches along with modd swings and insomnia. Please feel free to email me if you need someone to talk to. I would be more than happy to listen.
