Almost 2 years ago, right after my first lap, my dr. stressed lupron to me. Not long before, I found this sight and thanks to some negative comments about the drug I researched it more. The information I found was not encouraging, to say the least. Yes, lupron has helped some women, but that number is slim. Most women it either did not help, or it helped with the endo but caused side effects just as bad as their pain or their side effects were horrendous and/or long lasting or permanent. I'm happy for anyone it helps but I personally am not willing to take that chance. Besides, it doesn't cure endo and although you may find a dr. who will prescribe it for longer, it is only FDA approved for 2 cycles of treatment in a lifetime! Plus the top specialists do not prescribe it to their endo patients. I'm sorry, but for me, I would rather take surgery or the pain meds anyday. It's hard enough to get dr.'s who do not dismiss the endo pain let alone have a dr. give you lupron-which the company that makes it says itself can create more pain in the first month of taking it-and then completely deny lupron could be responsible to any symptoms/pain it may cause. Very scary stuff and I thank you, and am glad that people put out this kind of info to make others aware
