Niki,

I also am still having issues post Lupron. I am in the process of trying to find a rhueumatologist. Did you have any of the issues that you have now before Lupron? I did not. But I am also aware that there are not "many" doctors out there that will admit, even the possability that anything is an actual side effect from Lupron itself. I was curious how you went about talking to and finding your rheumatologist? My widespread pain and spasming has only become more and more intense and constant this week and I have come to a T. I am sure that the best option for me would be to see a rheumatologist, right? My other doctors have completely shrugged off my issues after a simple blood test came back fine...CBC. And that was that. I don't understand what is going on with me and what to really do about it. (I also now have vison problems that is keeping me from even being able to drive.)

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
