Hi Paula,

I've been on Lupron for 3 months now, and the symptoms you describe are very similar, but not identical, to what I have experienced. My fingers get swollen every morning after getting up out of bed so much that I can't make a fist out of my hand, not even close....maybe halfway into a fist. It lasts almost through the day, but it gets a bit better in the evening, after I have exercised the fingers by typing on the computer so much. I also get swelling of the legs to the extreme.

My GYN who gave me Lupron told me that nobody has yet complained to him about these symptoms. I think that's a load of bull, but he's the doctor and I'm a nobody, so he didn't do anything to help me. All I know is that it's real, and I checked, no other medication I'm taking could give me these symptoms.

For now, I'm just bearing with it, and taking Motrin 800 (anti-inflamatory). That's all. But I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

My best to you,

Inny.
