HI :)
I was on Lupron a few years ago and I sware I would never try it again.
It didn't make my Endo pain go away completely, however, it made me feel
TERIBLE. I didn't have any energy, my heart would palpitate at times, I
got horrible hotflashes that made me feel like I was panicing... it
just was not good. I have been offered it several other times by other
dotors, and I also said - never put that injection near me again. The
hard part for me is, the injection did take the pain away while I was on
it and it also made me feel better for about two years after. I do
think a doctor told me once that the 1 month doses are a bit easier on
the system then the three month dose. If that helps at all.
Hope you find the answers you need!
