The Depo-Lupron shot kicks you into full menopause. My doctor believes after 6 months on the shot my endometriosis will go away. Needless to say I'm skeptical...
It doesn't make it go away. It does stop it from growing temporarily. I recommend Dr. Cooks book. It explains the disease (what is known anyway) and the many different attempts at treatment. Also the center for endometriosis care, Dr. Ken Sinervo, has a wealth of accurate and up to date information on known disease pathology. Lupron and treatments like it, have very serious side effects you really need to consider before consenting to this treatment.
As Patricia mentioned, it may work for you as everyone is different, I was also on it for a year. It didn't help with pain at all, it just made me overall feel worse. I was groggy allll the time and I had bone and joint pain that was awful. Also I was really cranky all the time lol Especially right after get the shots each month for about a week I was down because they made me feel so terrible and mean for about 7 days.
It might work for you, but it didn't work for me personally, I was on it for a whole year, but like I said it depends.
