    I took Lupron for 6 months to treat my endometriosis. My doctor said this was safe and necessary and I believed him. Instead this medication competely changed my life. I am now disabled due to the effects of lupron and I have osteoporosis at a very young age. There is no reason women with endometriosis should be given lupron. It is a temporary measure and causes serious permanent injury in many women.

    I was given 3 imjections of LUPRON in 1993, and after the first injection my life was ruined. I did not have Endometryosis, I had a TAH in 1977, I was still told that I had it when in fact I had an ingranul hyernia. One year later 1994 I was diagnosed with a rare Thyroid cancer that had already gotten into my lymph nodes. I now have 6 autoimmune disorders Ruhmythoid Arthritis, Osteo-Arhtritis, Diabetes,Addison's Disease, Sjogrens Syndrome, I was lied to, my life at 51 is not like it should. I am on 3 very strong pain meds so that I can get out of bed and get through my day. Thank you Abbott!

    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.

    I received 4 shots of Lupron and after the 3rd shot I was walking with a cane. I am now not able to dress myself and I am now in a wheel chair. My wife has to do everything for me. It has been 4 months since my last shot was stopped and I have not gotten any better. I feel my condition is all due to the Lupton shots.

    I took this nasty drug for a year. March 2005----August 2005, started back in Nov. 2005. The only side effect I was warned of was hot flashes, (like going through menopause). My first 5 months the side effects were just hot flashes & acne. I was gave the shot to shrink my endo which had my organs stuck together. In September I started having some pains in my female organs unlike any I ever experienced, my uterus felt like it wanted to rupture (I thought it was where the medicine had shrunk my endo) Had surgery in October, my endo did shrink and my dr. cleaned it all out. November I started the shot up again to do another 6 month round. Needless to say that rupturing feeling never left but got worse. This stayed with me for a year and a half. No pain meds, only Ibuprofen. I had more side effects than this but this was the worst one. It did finally go away but I still deal with migraines, acne, constipation, and then some. Not only should doctors have to have a consent form but they should be required to have a list of every side effect everyone has ever experienced. My doctor never even knew I should have had add back therapy to go with the second 6 months. He didn't know much about the drug apparently & one would think that when you put your trust in a doctor, that they would take care of you & know what kind of drugs they are giving out.

    I'm a victim of the severe chronic adverse medical effects of Lupron for the treatment of endometrosis and ended up getting a hysterectomy. It has been 8 months and I'm still disabled from this horrible drug and I finally found some excellent doctors/psychiatrist and nutrionist who are trying to reverse, the damage it has caused myself and my family. I found out the most doctors do not know how to treat the side effects, they only do what the sales representatives tell them. There is NO data on long term effects and if a person was in clinical trials and they had an adverse effect or died and could not complete the trials, they were dropped off of Abbott's research statisical reporting, thus I believe the numbers are scewed. I beg every person file a medical alert with the FDA and call Abbott's Product Compliants number as they have to document all calls and report to their internal physician, who then is suppose to report it to the FDA: 1-800-255-5162 USA. Please note, you can remain confidential if you don't want to give you name, but have dates of injections, adverse medical side effects. I found out on the FDA webpage that Abbott was issued a warning letter to change the label Oct 2010 (during start of my treatment) and Abbott did not change the label until Dec 2010 of heart and other side effects. NO ONE told me of this, not even my doctor or Nurse. To add to your comments above, I believe all medical professionals should attend indepth training when administrating a HAZ MAT DRUG. Abbott has a logo "Promise For Life", so I would like to see a Promise to help reverse something they claim in the "Package Insert" that ALL side effects are reversible, except Bone Density. Were are the lawyers when we need you????

    Sorry, forgot to add, each time I get bloodwork my glucose gets higher and my PCP recently told me I'm borderline diabetic now. I spent years passing kidney stones each month, now crystals that hurt just as badly, and IC, there are just too many to list when I used to be a vibrant person who did what I wanted to, when I wanted to, not having to worry about flair ups or illnesses. My life has taken a complete 180 from what it used to be.

    I was made very ill by lupron and had no clue all the side effects that it had. If I was given a consent form with all the side effects given, I would have been able to make a more informed decision about my health and run as far and as fast as I could away from it. It's 11 years after my last shot and I'm frequently ill, have most of the "invisible diseases" out there, and spend most of my time in bed with no energy to do anything. My vitamin D level is 7, I have thyroid disorders, and my most recent problem, strep throat again, when prior to lupron I NEVER got strep throat, or MRSA sores, I'm on my 3rd set of antibiotics this time, and my previous sores are coming back, as well as white spots on the back of my throat. I've also lost 10 lbs in the last month. Noone should have to go through this, and especially not knowing what they should know about this poison first. I've learned my lesson which is, don't trust Drs, don't be a guinea pig for new medications, or medications that are used for other reasons. My first 2 sets were prior to having the internet, and I wish I'd looked into it more prior to the 3rd set. Unfortunately I was told by my job to get something done for my pelvic pain or lose my job. I did get disability, but UNUM canceled it this past summer going back to their old practices again.

    This just sounds like a very nasty drug that does more harm than good to the body.

    My doctor is wanting to prescribe my this medication, what he told me was that only 5 % of his patients will have any side effects other that hot and cold flashes. After reading this I will not take Lupron.

    when the lupron shots weren't working and I pointed it out my quack doctor said, "Listen honey, just take the shot." Then proceeded to tell me that he did laser hair removal and I needed it on my mustache. "this is LA, you can't walk around like that." I told him I wanted to focus on healing the excruciating pain I was experiencing. He told me to be patient, it was just my "organs settling." Never told me side effects of lupron, or that it was a chemo drug for men with prostate cancer! Unconscionable.

    This drug (Lupron) causes serious damage to people as I know it did with a close friend of mine. Why are drugs that do damage to the human body still on the market? Something needs to be done!
