I was on the 3month set of injections from June through August. I went through the hot flashes & cold sweats. My memory degraded as I went through this process & it has deteriorated since then.

Don't take Lupron because it causes grevious, permanent injuries to many women. Besides, it's only a temporary treatment for endo and you will still need surgery to remove the endo, so the risk is not worth it. Please Google Lupron Victims. The side effects are permanent so if you TRY this drug just once, there is no turning back.

I was diagnosed with endo when I was 16 but the pain was never too bad until last October. The pain was bad enough that I couldn't function without taking prescription pain killers. I got my first injection in January and two weeks later I was almost completely pain free. I also had no side effects at all - no hot flashes, no mood swings, no dizziness. I am very happy I decided to try Lupron.
