i have stage 4 endo & the side effects not mentioned affected me terribly. look forward to chest pains & higher blood pressure on top of all the other stuff they do tell you. i do not agree this is for everyone b/c it is not a cure & you're realistically only should take it no longer than a year b/c of the damage it (lupron) does.
