Has anyone here gone through Lupron injections for endometriosis? It looks like that may be the next course of action for me. Any info would be appreciated!

I did the Lupron. Had the hot flashes and all b/c it throws you into a false menopause. The insomnia was the worst. Went 4 days with no sleep. It isn't that bad other than that. I didn't have many problems with it but there are some people that did. I have seen some postings here before, maybe if you search with the word Lupron. I would find them for you but I am not that good at doing that. I did develop a psuedo tumor cerebri and had to go off the hormones. There were several reasons I developed it and one was weight gain which was due to the hormones. But I was on some other meds that can trigger the false tumor. I honestly didn't have problems while on it and the pain was basically nonexistant while on the lupron. When I went off the lupron the pain started coming back but did not get bad until the past couple of weeks. Just research the Lupron a lot. I didn't before I started it and there are some risks involved, or so I understand. HTH.
