I don't know if it is definetly Lupron to blame for the side effects that I continue to have or not. I mean, it makes sense and I don't know where else it would have come from. I know that I don't and wouldn't want anything from the makers of Lupron TAP Pharmacuiticals; besides taking it off the market. Or at the very least, having the decency to acknowlegde the possible harm that it can cause...not just 'hot flashes' and 'mood swings'. Disclosing everything to the possible patient beforehand....and I mean everything! So that the patient can make an informed decision. AND... there should be research on new and better treatments for Endo.

I don't know, like I said if the way I feel and have been feeling is due to my taking Lupron or not. But this is no way to live!
