Members strongly discouraged continuing Lupron when it isn't providing pain relief, with many sharing their own negative experiences including severe side effects, long-term health concerns, and what one member called 'Lupron brain.' Several members offered alternative approaches, including seeking out an endometriosis specialist rather than a general OB-GYN, trying the Mirena IUD which gave one member a year of relief, considering pelvic floor physical therapy, and requesting additional imaging to identify what might have been missed during the laparoscopy. A recurring theme was the importance of self-advocacy, getting second opinions when pain persists after surgery, and not continuing treatments that cause harm without benefit.
