Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Hi I had my first injection on Wednesday, January 9th. I have not had a period, but have had some break thru bleeding. Not much, just enough to be annoying. My dr. told me this would probably happen. I also work with a gril who was on Lupron a few years ago, she told me she did have a period after her first shot and it was heavier than normal. I go for my second injection on February 6th. So far I haven't had too many side effects, mostly headaches, almost every day but they are manageable. I have also had some very small hot flashes, so far they are not bad at all. My friend at work told me things get much more " intense " after the second dose, but she had a very difficult time with Lupron. I know another woman that was on Lupron almost 10 years ago and she said she had no problems with it at all, so I guess it is just the way your body reacts. When do you have your second dose?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Hi Anne, I also had terrible headaches from the lupron.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Libby So sorry you reacted so strongly to the Lupron. My headaches have been managable so far and I go for my second shot in one week. I am just taking this whole thing one day at a time.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Hi Yes, I have had some aching joints and muscles, I guess this is also fairly normal for Lupron. Kind of like the headaches, it is not every day. I have been able to manage my headaches with Excedrin Migraine, this really seems to work for me. So far it is certainly not as bad as some had told me it would be, but then I am still early in this. Will have to wait and see what happens after the second dose.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 hello all, i visited my doctor ..MD .....yesterday after having sharp twinges which felt like they were inside my kidneys. she examined my back muscles and said what was going on was definitly internal and is sending me for an xray of my kidneys which involves having the die shot into my viens. all of of this and a myomectomy scheduled for march 28th. i originally went to see my MD thinking that the one lupron injection ive had so far had caused a reaction in my kidneys. my MD was great, we went into her personal office and sat at her pc and looked up side effects to lupron and there was nothing there about kidneys. has anyone else had an effect on their kidneys after a dose of lupron.? my doctor assured me this has no connection to the fibroid issure going on in my body. my obgyn has me on 1200 mg of calcium with 500 mg of D and my MD says this wouldnt cause anything to go wrong with my kidneys either. so im waiting now for more tests and more results ......its a way of life .....eh girls?
