Just thought I'd let you know to be carefull with the naproxen. My
doctor told me to make sure and eat whenever I take them and also take a
aciphex every day because they commonly cause ulsers.

>>Hello. I'm new to this site but can completely relate to the breakthrough pain while on lupron. I'm in my 8th month of treatment for endometriosis, diagnosed 18 years ago. The first 3 months were pain free, now it's a constant. Although I will say the pain is less than not being on lupron, but it seems pretty defeating to experience pain and all of these nasty side effects! Good luck & I'm feeling your pain:)
