Im prob too late but I would never take Lupron agian eben if someone
were to pay me thousands of dollars. i only had two injections and
stopped takin it bak in 2004 and am still haveing side effects. I dont
have time to ellaborate il just let you kno that Lupron gave or
triggered a painfull disease in me that I will now have to live w/the
rest of my life. I suggest you go under yahoo groups and search for
Lupron Victims. Theres a group of women there who can tell you more
abobut the experiences theyve had.
