    To all, I feel your pain. I had two grandaughters who suffered from the severe side effects, 10 years apart. The sad part is the elder sibling did not know her younger one was taking the Lupron...so now both are crippled. The worse part of it is my one granddaughter was fired from her job. Congress is not reading these complaints, so any young person out there I would suggest you post this onto a site such as youtube, as that will be the only way it seems any media or political figure will get the message. Maybe you could also protest in Washington, just as I did back the days. My prayers go out to everyone. God Bless all those who have suffered.

    Please take this drug off the market. My doc tried to prescribe this to me after I had surgery for my endometriosis. Luckily, I'd read about others side effects online and refused. Big drug companies: imagine if this were your sister, your mother, your daughter. Have a heart. . .

    I had a baby IVF using Lupron. 6 weeks after she was born my left hip started really hurting. Then my right in the same exact spot. Next my shoulders both in the same exact spot. Felt like lasers shooting pain when I moved certain ways. I couldn't even turn on the radio in the car without these pains. My daughter is now 16 months. My hips are killing me. Keep me up at night. I started working out and my shoulders are much better. The left is fine but the right still zaps now and again when I move certain ways. The spots on my hips are very tender to touch so I can't lay on my side ever. I had very low vitamin d and unexplained high levels of autoimmune. I have been tested for Lupus etc and all comes back fine. I had a minor car accident where someone backed into me when I was 4 months pregnant. I twisted my ankle. It is still swollen and sore. I cannot point my toe or get on the floor with my daughter. This injury was so minor and after weeks of therapy I cannot understand why it won't heal. I am wondering if the lupron has destroyed my joints? Can anyone relate?

    The side effects are so scary! I have fatigue, insomnia, headaches, memory problems and many other symptoms after completing my fifth month of this drug. I am sick that my doctor pushed this drug as an option.

    I am 41 years old. I took Lupron for a total of 1 year in 2000 for treatment of severe, painful endometriosis. While receiving the injections I rememeber noticing that my skin on my face literally aged alot overnight. About 1 year later I began having neck pain and generalized joint discomfort. I recently had to begin getting epidural steroid injections into my cervical spine for advanced degenerative disc disease. The doctor said that he typically sees this degree of degenerative disc disease in someone aged 60-65. I also have severe pain in my hands and feet and have tumors in my feet. This drug NEEDS to be taken off the market!!!

    Our daughter was a healthy young lady until she was given this medication. It has taken her youth and made her old before her time. Her Father and I see her in pain everyday. The older she gets the worse it gets. She has been off Depot Lupron now for 4 yrs. The damage it has done vs. the good. She would've been better off dealing with the pain from her endometriosis than getting the injections. Please for the good of the rest of the young women and men out there PLEASE!!!! PLEASE!!! Help us!! It's too late for her... but not the rest... If you want to see someone live a miserable life then give them this drug!!!!

    Awesome thing to give someone you don't know or care about. They due care about the $$. They do not care that everyday after the injections now for almost 4yrs I'm still suffering from that drugs after math effects. Yes! They conduct studies but they weren't long term enough for women or men.. & that we were the rat's. I just had two root canal's within the month.. I use to have beautiful teeth. Even my dentist , the other Dr.'s agree chemotherapy drugs will cause you teeth to rot and decay like that... $2,500.00 later... it's like that drug takes you and you'll be ok, or at 1st, then it's a living hell after that... And I haven't had it Since 08. If you were to chose between the injection or death... I @ this point bc of all the cat scans mri's lab work dr' office visits long nites of being in chronic pain and no sex life.... Well at this point I wouldn't !!! I choose the electric chair...other words death.... This is no way to live the quality of life at my age, SUCKS!!! Thank you, TAPS!! Thank you Abbott!!!
