Lupron Depot - terrified to take lupron for endometriosis?

I have severe Endometriosis, I was diagnosed at 17 and this is going on my 4th surgery for it. I’m on Lupron, as well as still taking Norethindrone. I’ve lost over 30lbs in water weight and inflammation in the past two and a half weeks of being on it. I don’t have bad acne, but I do have very dry skin and hot flashes. More of my issues are psychological with lupron, I’m High Functioning Autistic, there isn’t a lot of literature about lupron and autism so I’m a guinea pig. I’d recommend the lupron for a little while and then do surgery, followed by doing Norethindrone, and the birth control pill Natazia which is designed for Endometriosis; but absolutely no periods. I’ve done this for awhile with my previous doctor, and then I moved to Grand Forks ND, the hospital Altru basically screwed me over and caused a severe flare which is now life threatening and so now I’m Lupron. I was really scared, but my doctor in Minneapolis MNspecializes in Endometriosis and is doing this treatment protocol. I’d recommend it and possibly seeing a new doctor that specializes in Endometriosis.

I felt that way... but so glad I took the risk. I've been on Lupron for about three months and I have actually lost 10 pounds. I think everybody is different. I'd say the only annoying side effect, that I could attribute to Lupron, is an occasional headache. Other than that it's worked fantastic for my endometriosis pain and is going to keep me pain-free until I have a hysterectomy in a couple months.
