Thanks so much Sarah, it helped a lot to hear from someone who hasn't
had the terrible side-effects from Lupron. I'll try to keep calm about

Julie, I'm so sorry about your experience with hysterectomy. I've found
a wealth of info at the websites for some of the doctors listed at
endodoc.com, especially Dr. Redwine's site, but others were helpful,
too. Perhpas you'll find them useful, as well.
