ANNON,

I am so sorry you are still feeling the effects of your Lupron shots.

My last shot was three weeks ago today, and I am also still feeling the effects of the shot (hot flashes). I must say that this week they are much better then last week and I hoping that they continue to get better ever week./

I have noticed that as my hot flashes get better my endo pain is getting worse.

I so hope you feel better soon.
