This list is for women (and men, parents...) with endometriosis or other diseases who are thinking, or have, undergoing treatment with Lupron. This is a place to share our experiences while using Lupron or living with it's sometimes devistating effects. IF your are considering Lupron use and are worried or confused... This is a place for REAL experience. Please keep in mind that Most people do NOT have a good experience with Lupron. All experiences written are by REAL women, men and the Parents of children who have taken this drug. Understand that doctors, as much as you may trust them or as nice as they may be, do NOT know or understand ALL of Lupron's effects. Lupron is NOT something they studied in Medical School.
To all of you that are new to Lupron or considering...ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS!!!
To all of you that are not new to Lupron...PLEASE SHARE your expereince with us... What have you learned? How do you feel? Know that you are NOT alone in feeling sick or betrayed by the medical system. I hope you find the comfort and understanding you need here.
We need to learn from each other. Sharing information leads to better decisions. Knowledge is power and that is NOT something exclusive to doctors...
Everyone should feel comfortable here... Share what you can, Listen patiently to others, be fair in your judgement... insults will not be tolerated...
Please keep in mind, that MOST of the women here have been injured by taking Lupron and have been sick for a very long time.
Hopefully together we will all find answers and ways to make life better for al of us.
