For Endometriosis "I found Lupron to be effective in treating my symptoms of endometriosis, particularly painful menstruation. Lupron causes one to cease menstruating, which in turn eliminates the pain associated with month-to-month and/or every two to four week menstrual periods. That said, I developed a raised bump at the base of my skull on the back of my neck that itched and hurt. I became dizzy and lightheaded and dealt with short-term memory loss, along with joint pain in my feet, mouth-watering nausea, night sweats, nasal congestion, and acne. The doctor could not give me an answer about the raised bump, and that scared me, so I chose to discontinue treatment."

For Prostate Cancer "My experience on this drug mirrors that of Albert Owens. The side effects are truly awful, no energy, no sex, headaches, no sleep. I am either sweating or peeing all night. Deep depression, anxiety, nausea, memory loss, legs swelled, 2 stone weight gain around the middle, no quality of life left. I must agree with burned-out wife also because my wife feels just like her, and it is not nice. I have over another year on this stuff. I am happy for the men it has worked for, bless them, but for myself and others, it can be a nightmare. Take care and good luck to all."

For Endometriosis "My endometriosis pain did go away with the Lupron! However, I had major side effects! Swollen eyelids, nausea, exhaustion, joint pain, headaches, and my last symptom was hip bursitis, which I then stopped Lupron! Three months later, my endometriosis pain is back, and now I have hip bursitis in both hips! Climbing upstairs is agony for me! Between my knee pain and hip bursitis, my legs feel like they are going to give out completely! I’m praying this isn’t permanent for me!"
