Hi Kellie Thanks for the info. I've been pretty scared of doing the Lupron thing, because of the possible neg side effects, and bec. my sister had it - didn't help her fibroids but she had several side effects and continues to have hot flashes 2 yrs later. But, the doc told me that I'm no more likely to get the neg stuff than anyone else, that genetics have nothing to do with it, which helped bring up my hopes. But I'm still nervous. I've been taking an antidepressant since the New Year, its worked wonders, and I've been more like my old self. My hubby and I have joked that if I have a mood swing or two it would liven things up, since I've been so pleasant! :) At this point, I wonder how much worse it could be than what I'm going through now with all the pain, problems sleeping, missed work, etc. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to maintain a positive hopeful attitude. Thank you, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too! Amy
