I started taking Lupron June 12 after I had a lap showing mild endo, so I'm fairly new to it my self, but I started having trouble sleeping, nightsweats and hot flashes about two weeks after that. The doctors gave me add back hormones to help with the side effects and though i still get a hat flash here and there i don't have the night sweats and It still takes me a little longer than usual to fall asleep but not as bad as before. Before I fell asleep on a dime before the add back It would take hours or I had to take tylonol pm, now it takes about half an hour. As for the pain, my right side was what hurt. During the surgery the found and removed endo on my right and left side. My left side hurt from the surgery adn my right seamed to be fine. After I was healed though my right started hurting again and hasn't gotten any better.
