Lupron and lupus

Wow. I have been reading all of your comments about Lupron and I am shocked. Here I am fighting with my insurance company to let me take a second course of Lupron. I only was given 6 months worth and FDA (according to my insurance) won't allow me anymore because of the dangers????

I have been in severe pain with accompanying problems from endo. Had a complete hyrsterectomy already years ago, but the endo came back (which I did not know it could) in various other organs that you can't operate on. My only choice was Lupron. I would be down in bed 2 or 3 times a week with the pain from endo, which irritated my bladder, my bowels, my sex life, you name it. Upon receiving the 2nd shot I felt so good I almost screamed! NO PAIN! It was the best 6 months of my life.

Now I am in total and severe pain everyday. Having fibromyalgia on top of it does not help either.

Anyway, I just thought I would voice my experience with Lupron.

Hello , My name is Naisha I was giving Lupron in 2002 and I would NOT TAKE THE DRUG if I was you . I would do anything to have the Endo back then feel the way I feel from THE LUPRON it is a drug from HELL. I would of never taken Lupron if I was awear about all the side effects that the shot had and YES everyone body is different but I see to many caes that went bad . If you like to read story about what alot of the side effects our look up the website-http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Depot-Lupron/signatures-5.html. You know what the sad part is I still had to have an Hysterectemy buz the shot was not working at all for me I would still feel all the pain without the bleeding , Only if I can go back to the day My Doctor said only thing I can do now Naisha is we can try a new Drug they have out called LUPRON to help control the Endo buz I was to young for a Hysterectemy at the time I was only 25yrs old with one kid and my INS will not appove it HE said. Here is all the side effects I'am having for that dama LUPRON , headache , hotflashes/sweats,nausea,weight gain/loss,joint disorder,nerous system,depression,skin rash,breast swell -tenderness. . So what all the side effects my Dr check me because they was thinking I had Lupus that was rule out so I now have Fibromyalgia and I am only 29yrs old , and I can go on an on . But I am scared to death because I got pregnant atfer my last shot and what will end up happening to my lil girl every year I seem to have a new side effects. Please check that one website and see if you think twices before you go on LUPRON I would take the LUPRON shot back anyday if I could.

I had my first Lupron shot on Jan 22, 07 to shrink an ovarian cyst that measured almost 4 inches. The hot flashes are quite ridiculous and wake me up every hour or so at night. I go from feeling so hot to so cold so fast. Also experiencing some joint paint - but I also have a mild form of Lupus and it could be related to that. Feel nauseous every couple of weeks. No periods. Other than that, until I get my next ultrasound to see if the cyst is shrinking, I have been quite happy with Lupron. It's not been fun, but it's better than the unbearable pain near the end of every period that kept me in bed for 2 days at a time. I've not felt any abdominal pain since early January so I'm hoping that means it's working. I feel awful for those who have had a horrible experience.
