I was given Lupron for 9 months and was told that the only side effects would by menopause and hot flashes. I told my GYN after 2 months that I was having joint pain in my hands and he dismissed it. 3 months after I was done with Lupron, my fingers and wrists hurt all the time and I also developed Colitis. Diarrhea every single day for 16 months straight. Sometimes I had it up to 12 times in a 24 hour period. The joint pain moved into my back. An MRI has shown arthritis in all of the facet joints in my Lumbar spine. I was 41 and my back never bothered me before. 3 years later, the arthritis has spread to both of my SI joints. So now I have terrible pain in both hips as a result. I have to have steroid injections in each joint on both sides. If I'm lucky I will have some pain relief for a couple of weeks. There is NO cure!!! I also developed Uveitis in both eyes. None of the Opthomologist that I have seen could tell me why someone so young should develop this disease. I had to have cataract surgery in both eyes at the age of 42!! This drug has stolen my life, my good health and time with my children. We have to make the pharmaceutical company STOP making this poison and also make them pay for sending us to an early grave!!REPORT COMMENTS

These injections have turned my life upside down, in 5 years I have gone from a healthy active happy person to someone who is in pain all the time, terrible short term memory problems immune deficiency that has landed me in the hospital or ER almost every month, with so much going on my doctor has struggled to make sense of what is going on with me but take a look at all the women who have taken these injections and it's staggering how we all suffer from very similar problems and all since taking Lupron.REPORT COMMENTS

Took Lupron in 2001 and was so sick that I couldn't work had vomiting, weakness, bone pain, muscle spasm, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, low sex drive and today I still have everything except vomiting and the weakness comes and goes. The joint pain is just getting worse. I wish I had never taken this medication. I trusted the doctor now I don't trust any doctors I research as if I am the doctor and make decisions on the treatment options presented me very well informed. I prefer natural when I can.REPORT COMMENTS

Lupron took a vivacious woman and completely ruined her. Sadly, that woman is me. I had SEVERE memory problems, insomnia, anxiety, depression, body pain, fibromyalgia I am sure, migraines or at minimum a CONSTANT terrible headache, lack of energy, I stay fatigued, sex drive GONE... these are just the things I can think of off the top of my head. I took 2 shots (the 3 month kind) in 2007- that was to put me in short term menopause 6 months- lasted 9... but here it is near 8 years later, and the effects I listed are things I suffer with even now and am trying to come to grips with the fact they are most likely permanent. LUPRON RUINED MY LIFE! LUPRON TOOK MY LIFE... from me, my husband and my family.REPORT COMMENTS

I had 1 injection but have the symptoms of using for 3-6 months. Severe bone/joint/muscle pain. Osteopenia, peroneal nerve damage, Fibromalgia, migraines, miscarriages/infertility after the injection. The list goes on. I am in so much pain. I want not only a study but how about a diagnosis or syndrome that drs know that we are not drug addicts or hypochondriacs but that we were injured from a medication that was suppsed to hp us with fibroids/endometriosis. Because I still had a hysterectomy. I am 37 and had injection in 2006 (June) Know that pain scale drs say. That month was the worst pain I had ever been in. I Even had a seizure week 2. I refused the 2nd shot. I missed my daughter learning to walk because of this injection. i could barely move. I couldnt hold/lift her. And I still suffer.REPORT COMMENTS

Thank you all for sharing your stories. It brings tears to my eyes. I was diagnosed with endo 3 weeks ago and had surgery last week. My doctor has constantly been pressuring me to take these injections and says it's the only thing that will help. She said she doesn't support my decision for refusing it. I will be looking for a new doctor. Please take this drug off the market. So many people trust their doctors form of treatment in hopes to get rid of the pain. This drug should not be an option.REPORT COMMENTS

I had this treatment in 2004 after having a laparoscopy to diagnose Endometriosis and I had relief for the first time in years but the side effects were awful and I feel like I still have side effects from this. after stopping treatment I immediately had my symptoms of endometriosis back. I have been going through a battery of tests for a few months now and they can find nothing they believe that the endometriosis has spread into my abdomen. I am going to request a hysterectomy and will also probably need another surgery to burn out the endometriosis. I will never do Lupron or anything similar to it again just not worth the pain it causes. I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both knees (grade 4) and I early stages of osteoporosis. I also have horrible stomach problems.REPORT COMMENTS
