Lupron sucks for a lot of people. I was one of them.

How's it going now?

Hi,
I am fairly new to MFP as well. I have been using lupron for almost 10 years...which is an extreme and unusually situation but I have very severe endo. complicated by adhesions and a genetic disposition to produce excess scar tissue. I have had several surgeries, including a colon resection to remove an endo cyst inside my colon. The lupron was the only safe option for me at the time. I have a frozen pelvis with my uterus and bladder fused and to make matters worse a pelvic kidney that sits in front of one of my ovaries. My situation is kind of unusual since I didn't have any symptoms until about age 27 when my son was 2 1/2. We were fortunate to have him...as my specialist put it "he is a really miracle and I need to thank God for him everyday" because he has no idea how I ever had children. For me the lupron with norethindrone was my best choice and it has many side effects (the hot flashes, mood swings, weigh issues, lowering good cholesterol levels,etc.) but at least I could function. Before the medication nothing worked for my pain. I was on 800 mg of vicodin every 4 hours and could still barely walk(and not because I felt high as a kite even though I did and hated it!). The injections gave me relief right away. I have recently stopped taking the injection to see how it goes. As I am getting older I am feeling changes in my body. So far so good...no cycles yet. If you are have the night sweating try asking your doctor if you can take a fish oil suppliment. In some women including myself, it can really help with the hot flashes and it is also good for your heart. :happy: Good Luck! I understand how you are feeling.
