My Experience With Lupron
Posted in My Thoughts on 11/06/2007 11:41 am by ChasLupron is a medication often given after birth control can not control your Endometriosis. This is a much harder method for you to endure. With that being said, it is not as hard as everyone may make you feel. This medication acts as an artificial menopause. It completely shuts down your hormone flow in order to stop the growth of the disease.
You will hear many horror stories about this medication and how hard it is to handle but as a person who knows, you can handle it. In truth, it does cause hot flashes, mood changes, and other menopausal type symptoms. It is not the easiest thing to take but it by far, is not the hardest either.
After your cycle of Lupron you should feel an extreme level of comfort that you did not feel prior to this step. In some cases, the disease can actaully go away for the most part forever but, in my case after about six months the disease began to grow back. Had I been ready at that point to have children, the opportunity could have very well been there but I was not ready. If you have child bearing issues and want children but the Endometriosis stops you, I would advise following the direction of your physcian and if this method is what he suggests, go for it. It very well may change the rest of your life.

I haven’t tried Lupron. I don’t qualify for most ofthe hormonal options because of rare migraines I suffer from. But I use Mirena and am really mixed about it right now. Seemed like it worked for a while and now is not as well!

My doctor would like for me to start on LUpron. I have also chronic migraines at least 2’s a month. I know it was from all the birth control pills..no one believed me. They did a head scan and found i have a tumor on a gland in my brain. They said they dont need to remover it. Once i stopped my pills the headaches finally went away..Now i’m in chronic pain though. it’s been 3 month now and i just had my period and the pains just wont stop. I refuse to go on Lupron. I heard it is the worst drug you can take from my cousin. My last choose is to have a baby, but i’m not sure i’m ready.
