I am 29 mother of 3, and in constant pain along with the pelvic pain from endo. I can't function without pain pills. All the pain started after my lupron injection 2 years ago. I am now at a point of fighting with doctors that don't see a reason why I should have this pain, and are starting to refuse to treat the pain with perscriptions. I have also been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This needs to stop!! -

My doctor removed a torsed ovary with an endometrioma on it during surgery and afterward told me I had bad stage 4 endometriosis. After birth control pills didn't change my remaining symptoms she said my only option was Lupron injections. She said the only side effect was depression. I was active- weight lifting and cardio daily, loved my job, loved my active family life, and in school part time to better my life. I had two one month shots. I now have diagnosed fibromyalgia which I didn't even believe in. I also shake randomly, forget words and lose time, have massive panic attacks, heart races and chest pain, trouble breathing. I'm halfway into my second month. I am losing so much time at work we may not make our bills. I am strong and WILL get through this. I pray it leaves my system soon and I recover. Please, man or woman, do not get this injection. Believe what your doctor will tell you is hype on the internet. Believe it. Congress pull this drug from the market. Lives are being changed for the worst. I write this while lying on the floor in muscle pain of 8/10 and overwhelming fatigue.REPORT COMMENTS

I was given a monthly shot. About two weeks afterwards the side effects kicked in. I feel sick w/flu like symptoms, headaches, I had a fibromyalgia flare up, stiffness, insomnia and awful night sweats and hot flashes. I was given this drug to treat Lieomyomas that metastasized to my lungs after my hysterectomy. I am 46 y.o. I feel like this drug accelerates the body's aging process. I almost forgot to mention Lupron caused confusion or brain fog too for me.REPORT COMMENTS

This drug has ruined me. I took it for 9 months in 2009 and most recently for the last 5 months for endometriosis. I did ok the first time...Horrible things happened this time. 2 weeks after the first shot 5 months ago I had to go to the ER with such severe upper stomach, chest and back pain. The pain was unreal I couldn't even breathe and nothing helped. It lasted over 12 hours. It was the Lupron I knew it in my heart. From 2 weeks into treatment until now I have been suffering with constant pain as described before. I had my gallbladder out because the doctors though that was the source of the pain....It didn't help the pain was worse after the removal. One month ago I had to call 911 because the chest and stomach pain was so severe. I was admitted to Mayo Clinic with liver failure my ast/alt were 1000/1400 extremely elevated. I was vomiting and in pain non stop. I still have this pain and can barely eat. The doc's at Mayo say I had a bile duct stone but also have Sphincter of Odii Dysfunction. I am only 33 and I had to quit mu career from the constant severe pain and vomiting. The team at Mayo says they are sure this is all from the Lupron. My life is over. I can't work, I can't do anything physical, I can't eat or sleep. And there is nothing they can do except very risky surgeries that may not even help. Lupron destroyed my health and life - I have nothing to look forward to but pain and suffering and I'm only 33. God help me and help us all that have been ruined by this drug.REPORT COMMENTS

Father passed away 2 days after a Lupron shot. I will forever be concerned that this caused his death. Please investigate the short and long-term side effects of this drug -- and insist on better education of our medical community regarding these side effects!!REPORT COMMENTS

I received Lupron 5 years ago due to endometriosis. I was given the 6 month treatment. My periods stopped, and I was feeling the side effects almost immediately. I started to gain weight, and then I had really bad bleeding and was rushed to the emergency 2 weeks after injection. They told me I had a cyst in my uterus. They gave me pain meds and I set up an appointment with my dr. When I went to my dr 2 weeks later, I found out that I was pregnant! I ended up giving birth to a beautiful little boy, but it almost cost me my life and my sons from severe pregnancy complications due to Lupron. I am still to this day dealing with the side effects. I have constant hot flashes, my body always is in pain, and there are days I can't breathe from the pain. I am in the dr's office constantly getting blood drawn, and now I might have cancer. I blame it all on Lupron. I am only 25 years old. This drug destroyed my life!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

My gynecologist recommended that I get this injection to stop my heavy bleeding, due to a fibroid that I have. I was not aware of the many side effects that come with this drug until I came across this site. I'm going to call her today and decline this treatment, because I'm not willing to risk suffering from life threatening side effects and the pain that comes with the injection of this harmful drug.REPORT COMMENTS
