I started taking the shot in August of 07 and took it until March of 08. I was pain free about 3 weeks after the initial injection and still am. The hot flashes bothered me the whole time I was on it. Also, the mood swings were BAD!!! Overall, the biggest thing that affected me was the fact that I gained 45 lbs durring the 8 month treatment.

On the bright side, I have been off the shot for 2 months and the pain has not come back so far.

Lupron is the only treatment that has made me pain free. I have suffered from endometriosis for 14 years. I have had many surgeries, including a partial hystorectomy. My doctor put me on Lupron with hopes that I will still be able to hve children. The side effects suck, but I will deal with them if it keeps me out of pain.

I was put on Lupron because I'm starting IVF and this was suggested by the doctor because of my history with endometriosis. First month was no big deal but then I was told that I would be on it for another month. I got my second shot last week and the hot flashes are a little annoying and my body feels like it is on fire when I sleep but the vertigo is what makes it difficult. Just to type a ...

I got my second shot last week and the hot flashes are a little annoying and my body feels like it is on fire when I sleep but the vertigo is what makes it difficult. Just to type and looking at the screen makes me dizzy. But it did stop the cramps and back pain. I guess it will be worth it when I get pregnant.

I had Endometriosis for 9 years, since I was 20 years old, and during those years dcts in several states prescribed me every kind of pain killer imaginable..I hated that, I felt like I was dependent on those things. None of those dcts took my pains serious. So once I started the Lupron shot Dec 08, I have had nothing but success. I have had the hot flashes, mood swings, low sex drive,no period(not ...

I had Endometriosis for 9 years, since I was 20 years old, and during those years dcts in several states prescribed me every kind of pain killer imaginable..I hated that, I felt like I was dependent on those things. None of those dcts took my pains serious. So once I started the Lupron shot Dec 08, I have had nothing but success. I have had the hot flashes, mood swings, low sex drive,no period(not complaining about that one) but all of those are worth it to be pain free! I am in my last 3 months,just got a 3 mo shot, and so far I have been very satisfied. The pain stopped almost instantly after the second shot. As of right now I am very happy with the results, I just hope things continue once this is out of my system. I recommend anyone who has dealt with pain for as long as I have, to at least try it. You wont know how it effects you until you try, it effects everyone differently. Good luck and I hope this helped.
