In October and December of 2006 I was given two injections of the drug Lupron. I received the injections to reduce the football size Fibroid I had. After My second injection of Lupron 7.5 mg on December 7, 2006 I became severely ill and was admitted to the hospital to have a blood transfusion because I had loss so much blood. I also had severe chest pain, body pain, blurred vision, headaches, insomnia, numbness, nausea, vomiting, and weakness on my left side. Thankfully I got better and had the surgery to remove the fibroid. My recovery from Lupron was gradual and I thought that I had put the adverse reaction to the Lupron injections behind me, but I was sadly mistaken. I would notice from time to time the symptoms would come and go, the same symptoms I initially had after my adverse reaction to the Lupron shot. In 2009 the symptoms that would periodically come and go came back with a vengeance and stayed. I am currently suffering from uncontrollable high blood pressure, blurred vision, weakness and pain in my chest, memory loss, pain throughout my entire body, shocks throughout my body that causes an episode where I lose control of my arms and hands, severe neck and back pain to the point I have trouble holding my head up, standing and walking, excessive weight gain, fluid retention, depression, anxiety, headaches, insomnia, and a constant cough. I had to stop working in March of 2010 because I could no longer do the basic day to day tasks let alone work. I spent 2009, 2010, 2011 going to doctors. From internal medicine, gynecologist, neurologist, Hospital emergency rooms, family practices, having EKG done, sleep studies, incomplete MRI( because I would have an attack while lying in the machine for too long)chest x-rays, cervical biopsy, ultra sounds, and blood test you name it I've had it. I know that this drug is dangerous and if something is not done immediately to take this drug off the market we are going to see more and more people suffer and die from using this FDA approved drug. I don?t understand why no one is listening to the thousands and thousands of people who are out right telling our leaders that this drug is dangerous because they are suffering with these severe side effects. Not only are we saying that this drug is deadly but there is overwhelming proof to back this up (take a look at my medical records). I want to live and not die and it is long overdue that something be done to take this poison off the market and help those who are suffering. If the government continue to allow this drug to remain on the FDA approve list then they might as well legalize crack too, because for me crack and Lupron has the same effect.REPORT COMMENTS

I personally was a victim of Accutane years ago, and now a friend of mine is experiencing serious side effects after only three months of Lupron, a drug that was highly recommended to her by two physicians who never once warned of the severe side effect possibilities that truly exist, and which she has now personally experienced (resulting in brain surgery). It's time to save the lives of those who will one day experience severe harm through this particular drug by focusing on these real-life stories of women who are in terrible pain after using Lupron, and given the potential side effects (including death), it's time that this drug is removed from the medical market. Considering Congress has recently accomplished nothing more than spending other people's money irresponsibly, why not begin to work FOR the people by instituting a Congressional investigation into this terrible drug and eventually banning its future use before other women are scarred for life by its poisonous effects?REPORT COMMENTS

I had an open surgery due to my endometriosis in 1992. When I went back to my doctor after a month, I was told to have a lupron shot one month for six months so that my cysts will shrink. The shot was $500.00/month. That was the most expensive shot I ever had in my life. During that six months, I was also told by my doctor that I should not try to get pregnant and recommended my husband to use condom. But after the six months, my bleeding and pain problems were never resolved. The following year, I had another surgery but it was a laparoscopic due to endometriosis again. Having 6 shots of this lupron didn't resolve my problem at all. The most painful one was not able to get pregnant.REPORT COMMENTS

My sister is 20 years old. She is so weak she has trouble walking and getting a shower sometimes. Her feet and legs swell. She never had acne a day in her life and now she is getting it. She sleeps sometimes 20 hours a day. She has had heart palps, difficulty breathing at times, felt like she could pass out, not able to eat without feeling like she would throw up or actually throwing up. And all of this because of Lupron. Now my mom is sick thinking she allowed the doctors to prescribe and administer it every 28 days for 3 years as a child to slow down her puberty. She is only 20. Her side effects have been so severe for over a year. She was thought to have a thyroid issue but she did not so nothing could ever be found. She has been put through testing, told she was anorexic despite her healthy eating before she got so sick. She has massive anxiety and breaks down over nothing, cries for 4 hours literally, really. You have to take this drug off the market.REPORT COMMENTS

I have Stage 4 Endometriosis and Adenomyosis. Lupron has been recommended as the only way to alleviate symptoms and treat my infertility. There needs to be an investigation into the horrible side effects of Lupron. Please call for an investigation. There are many women suffering from Endometriosis; we truly do not need more complications.REPORT COMMENTS
