    I've been suffering since 2010 I was not aware that the tubal ligation that I had with 4 flishie clips was not reversible even though it's suppose to be but come to find out is not reversible so in the process of suffering all these years we've come to this point of me having to have a complete hysterectomy however before having a hysterectomy I've been giving Lupron injections since June 2015. I have suffered some really bad side effects from this weight gain depression mood swings anxiety my blood pressure at one point was very much under control since taking this injection it is now out of control I have resorted to begging the doctors to help me however set of them helping me my surgery date was set back even more I supposed to have surgery September 4th 2015 now I have surgery October 28th 2015 the doctor said since the injection is doing the job in regards to the pain I should be able to bear the side effects

    I have suffered with severe endometriosis for decades and after having gone through years of fertility treatments and been blessed with 4 biological children...... I then had a hysterectomy. My pain from the endometriosis came back worse and I was told by the doctor to try these shots that would really help. First of all I couldn't believe that they cost $1000 per shot! (Not out of my pocket). I asked my doctor about side effects and other info about the drug which she said nothing serious. I started having horrible migraines and gaining a lot of weight, memory loss and sleep problems. I only allowed her to give me 3 shots, 3 months and I told her that the side effects were horrible and I still had the severe pain from the endometriosis. Now I can't get the 40 pounds I gained off and the other side effects haven't gone away. It's been a few years since the last shot and I am worse now than ever before!!! This shot is poison and dangerous. It is a money maker for the drug companies and people are paying the price with their lives and their bodies. I feel so old and my body has deteriorated since these shots!

    My daughter is taking this for precocious puberty. Her doctor is listed as one of the top endocrinologists in our state. She has had non-stop deep itching in her legs after taking this drug. Their answer is that this is not a known reaction to the drug.

    This is for Barb B. of Ford City. I have contacted both law offices (Salkow Law and/or Flood Law Group) that are listed on Lupron Victims Hub site numerous times and have yet to receive a call back. My next move is to write to both offices.

    I read these complaints and it is as if it's me talking.i describe feeling like I'm 90 yrs.old also. i went from being an athlete working out at the ymca to becoming debilitated.my bones and muscles have excruciating pain. I can barely walk.recently fell ,my humerus was fractured and I had a rotator cuff tear.the ortho doctor I saw is the best.he operates on many famous athletes regularly.he asked what was going on with my bones.he said my shoulder bone was the worst he ever saw in a 49 yr. Old women.my bones are very thin.i have severe depression and anxiety.i am very forgetful and have cognitive issues.shortness of breath;blurry vision.i have gained 60 lbs.it is mainly in my waist.this predisposes me to diabetes.i am unable to work.i recently lost my disability and I am losing my house. I am old and decrepit be for my time.im 49 yrs old.the oncologist consistently lied to me.i told him I felt paralyzed and it took 20 to 30 min.to stand to walk when first waking up.he'd just send me down the hall for yet another lupron shot.when I did research on this drug myself and presented all the health complaints from people to him.he said he wasn't aware of this and dimissed me.i believe I was part of a drug trial.he tryed to attempt to intimidate me into continuing the drug stating i' die without it within 2 yrs.i would sob and cry almost all day.i had no control over the sobbing.i requested the doctor's office notes.he never documented my complaints.he stated in his notes essentially that I was tolerating the drug well and was the picture off health.why would he lie.is he getting a kickback? Or am I in a drug trial I'm not aware of.who the hell do they think they are playing with & destroying our health.i believe someone with big money to lose is still in control,why has this drug and the problems not been advertised on TV for class action lawsuites.GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!

    I was treated for "endometriosis " with Lupron injections for 1 year beginning in Sept 2012. One year injections triggered anxiety, panic attacks, while buffering pelvic pain and resulted in a full hysterectomy at 44 years old. One year from surgery I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in a hip that had been injured prior to injections. Had total hip replacement nine days later at 45 years old. Now suffering devastating pain in right shoulder, which suffered two previous rotator cuff tears prior to injections. I've had multiple joint surgeries since injections and feel like I'm 90 years old. Sought help from rheumatologist because pain was systemic This is no way too live. Pain is debilitating. Praying for some type of help from higher powers.

    I was on Lupron Depot for 5 years as a child to treat precocious puberty. During that time, I developed severe depression and anxiety; by the 4th grade, I was being sent to the counselor's office every other day for crying. It was also the same year I first wished I was dead. The anxiety and depression I encountered still affect me to this very day. I wish with every fiber of my being that I could finally be rid of it.

    i know suffer from extreme joint/bone pain, migraines insomnia, body pain, fatigue, tachycardia worse than I had before, unable to really work because of the body pain/joint pain/migraine/fainting spells..... I also had a bone tumor found in my leg with a lot of bone detoriation not even 7 months later. It also made my endometriosis worst, the pain went to bad to horrendous and heavier. I also struggled with infertility for 4.5 years even with infertility meds. 2 miscarriages. I am in severe pain. They found a new bone swelling in ankle. I also have bursitis. I tell everyone to avoid this poison. The symptoms happen fast. Anyone else's face numb or super tingly. My life has changed so much. I hate how so many of us are saying the same thing. It's obvious its destroying something. Severe pain, mornings and nights are hard. Sex has become so painful and I have bladder/kidney/urethra problems. I did hear the gyn say he is sorry. I wasn't taking anything else but estrogen pills and the lupron. I went to the ER 3 times in 2 weeks. My doctors had no idea what to say. But it happened the next day after I got the injection. My mom in law had to move in with us because I couldn't raise my daughter. I couldn't walk and I couldn't hold her plus i kept fainting and falling as well as have a seizure. But now i need drs to listen. Also please don't give to children or women or men. This medication needs to be pulled. Look at us. Find more that told dr lupron caused these symptoms and periods got worst. This drug is THE devil! Listen to others that have had this, do research! I wish I had known to abdicate for myself; now I am suffering because of it.

    I was told to that this drug would reduce my tumors on my ovaries and it showed only a small group of side effects. I started having side effects right away. I refused the third shot. Then continued to suffer from severe pain. I ended up with ovarian cancer. I still suffer from joint pain, hot flashes and worse memory and cognitive functions. This is only a small list of what I have gone through. My life is forever change for the worse.

    I have done two rounds of 6 months each. Wish i would have never done one. The depression and anxiety are awful, severe anxiety for no reason is so debilitating i can barely get dressed. I do not feel like myself anymore. I have frequent bouts of vertigo, joint and muscle pain. I feel like I'm going crazy, but tracing back to when my symptoms began and worsened all goes back to within 1 month of starting the Lupron..sad that drs are still using this to treat endometriosis, which it doesn't help..Since my pain is the same as before, I would have rather not taken it at all. I hope they investigate this further.
