I saw a man online saying he still has hot flashes after seven years.

 

I took only ONE shot of Lupron seven months ago prior to a minor fibroid surgery and my abdomen has been bloated ever since, with no end in sight.  I only weigh 92 pounds.  I am very, very sorry I ever took this drug.  23% of users have permanent side effects (over five years).  Please see www.lupronvictimshub.com for the study.  And there are also victim's groups forming on Facebook, Yahoo, etc.  It is shocking the nonchalance with which doctors prescribe this drug.  Trust me, they wouldn't take it themselves!  Once you are sick, they will try to deny the Lupron caused it but you will KNOW that's when all your strange symptoms started.  You will have odd ailments no doctor can fix after you take Lupron and they can get worse over the years.  Some patients develop lupus, vision problems, fibromyalgia, etc.  Google it!

 

Do not take Lupron.  It's just too unpredictable and could make your health issues much worse.  Trying it even once is too risky.  Find a better doctor!
