Hi Ginny:
I saw your post about Lupron. I took Lupron for 6 months . It was
supposed to be treating endo which was supposed to be causing the leg
pain I had and was treated for four years by a neurologist with
imipramine! Now I am wondering what exactly was causing the leg pain
(now that I know about my discs) and if it wasn't endo, why did the
Lupron work so well. Three months into the treatment I was pain free
and remained that way for 1 1/2 years until this current problem flared.
I felt fine on Lupron, although I had severe hot flashes (at least I
think they were severe) No other symptoms. They give "add back
estrogen" now with Lupron to combat these symptoms. When this current
problem flared my gyn suggested a 3 month trial again, this time with
the add back estrogen, and I had no hot flashes. It also had no effect
on my pain. I sure hope the Lupron did not cause or aggravate my
present problem.
