have any women here ever been prescribed and taken lupron shots? this is a drug.. a very heavy one.. that is prescribed to woman that doctors suspect of having endometriosis. I am especially curious if there are woman out there that have taken this drug and have had negative side effects from it.
it is my understanding that lupron was originally developed to fight prostate cancer in men, so if there are men that have experience with this drug I'd love to hear about it. but I am way more concerned about lupron's potential side effects on woman, and if there are any in our community that are suffering them. the doctor and her nurses all say that they have prescribed/administered this drug over and over again with no negative effects. but, when searching the web one finds a world of examples of people being given this drug with horrible and life long side effects that are way worse than the problem being treated. I am trying to find out why there is such a discrepancy between what the doctor says and what I find on the net. any feedback, here or via my email address, would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
