I am on my first shot and I am having a very hard time with this drug, if I am not angry I am crying I have the shakes, rapid heart beat, and the feeling that I am crawling out of my skin. I have always had problems with hormones in the past but I have never felt like I was litteraly going insane! I am also having moments where I swear that I have just gone up in flames.

I have not experienced tiredness I am the opposite I have more energy and when I go to the gym I am stronger and as far as my pain it is a little better but if this is how every month is going to be I would rather be in the pain I have an 8year old and a 6month old so this kind of crazy is not good

I have just taken my 3rd Lupron shot. I am 30 years old (with two little boys) and at times feel I am in an 80 year old body. I have always been a very active person.

I have just taken my 3rd Lupron shot. I am 30 years old (with two little boys) and at times feel I am in an 80 year old body. I have always been a very active person. I am working with one of the best doctors. The side effects have been absolutely horrible. My doctor has been treating the side effect with medication which entails 9 different pills twice daily. My side effects consist of joint pain in my ankles, knees and wrists; weakness in my legs which makes it hard to walk up stairs. When I exercise or even vaccum I get realy dizzy. I feel at times my muscles are not there. My anxiety and depression has started to increase. As an instructor at a college I tend to forget allot of things while I am teaching. After the second month I did have releif from the pain caused from the endometriosis. I am pretty much trying to suck it up. My pain before the Lupron was severe, I couldn't sleep, I was so tired, physically I couldn't do the simple things like cleaning house it was too painful. Now I can do the normal things but I have to take breaks and sit after about 45 minutes or I will have severe back pain and then my legs will start to hurt. IF I cannot get through this shot I will be having a hysto. I am hoping this will be helpful to everyone that is thinking of doing the Lupron shot. When making the decision I think it depends on the severity of your pain. Because you get to a point you just want the pain to go away.

I'm going in for my 4th shot this week and so far I'm still in pain there's no difference. The hot flashes are the worst thing along with the irritability. I feel sick all the time and always have a headache.
