Every woman has the RIGHT to decide FOR HERSELF what treatment
she wishes to use to deal with endometriosis.
For that, she does NOT deserve to be PUT DOWN, INSULTED or ATTACKED.
The information on the bad side effects are out there and educated
women can MAKE THE DECISION FOR THEMSELVES whether they want
to take the risk or not.
Lupron is not a poison. If it is, then birth control pills are also a
poison.
And I don't see anyone saying that.
You can have your opinion about Lupron, but putting down others and
attacking
them just shows that your education level is extremely limited.
Other people have been helped by Lupron. If you personally do not like
it, fine. But don't come here & put down other women who are trying it.
Surgery also carries its own risks, of blood clots leading to heart
attacks
and stroke, as well as other complications, such as serious infections.
So, there is no 'easy answer'. ALL treatments have problematic side
effects.
And NONE are an absoulute CURE, including excision surgery. Just ask
the
thousands of women who have HAD excision surgery (with an expert) and
have
had their endo recur.
Writing juvenille posts attacking women for making a treatment choice
which they deem *right for them* is not helping anyone.
