In search of help making a treatment decision

I'm just going to cut my story so you don't have to read it if you don't want to, I'm sure it's pretty standard around here.

( Torsion, adhesions, and unbearable pain - oh my! )

lupron, surgery, pain, intro

I’m sorry you have had such a horrible time ( ... )

Sorry, can't remember the name (and it's Dutch)as I don't take it anymore. I would suggest you *not* do more than 6 months of lupron at a time (most doctors will never allow it anyway). If you start the pill right after the lupron you should be good to go for a while :) I have had 4 6 month rounds of lupron over the past few years- most after surgery and then before starting fertility treatments.

My experience with Lupron was as smooth as one could possibly imagine. There were some hot flashes, yes, but I was also on add-back therapy (sorry, I forget the name of what it was!), so I think that really helped with the side effects ( ... )
