There are serious side effects you need to read. Its just a bandaid. Not approved for use with endometriosis. Suppression with progesterone or progestin oral contraceptives may be a better solution. I've had endo for many years. I'm now on natural progesterone suppression with relief of endo pain. My gyn reproductive endocrinologist is an endometriosis specialist near Atlanta, GA.

Is that Lupron that makes your body believe that you and perimenopause is that that has so many things done that I have no idea at this point. I’m just going back in time.

Now ive stopped bleeding so pain has reduced but still have moderate pain..the week before and after the injections the pain gets really bad again... ive constantly got terrible back pain an if im on my feet for a long time or walk longer than half our then i have serious hip pain..

They have also made me gain weight and terrible mood swings xx

Are they working for you ? I've been bleeding non stop, some days heavy, some light, but constantly, got huge spots and still in excruciating pain, worse in last couple of weeks, I'm off work now because I've started gabapentin as well as the zapain and anti inflammatory, I'm gutted , I just hope that my gynae will still do the hysterectomy even when this isn't working, I passed out two days ago with contraction type pains, I'm so fed up, x

I need that explained in simple terms lol.

In the Uk GNrH is one of the "main" treatments for endometrisis. Ive got 2 months left of them.

Im dreading what's going to happen after. I read all the side effects and didnt really want them but i didnt have much choice :( xx
