In 2006 I did a trial of oral lupron for my endometriosis. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!!! I had been diagnosed w/fibromyalgia a couple of years before that and nothing was said to me about that being a problem. The fibro was made much worse. But the real devastation is the PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE. I am not even 40 and have now had 3 surgeries to try and repair the prolapse of my bladder, rectum, vagina, and uterus. Ended up w/hysterectomy last year because of the severity of prolapse. My appearance has suffered too because of the lack of estrogen. My surgeon couldn't believe the state of my tissues and said they were more like a post-menopausal 70 yr old than a 35yr old.
I only recently have started putting together the Lupron and POP. Good news is there was no evidence of endo when they removed my uterus. I would trade the disabling symptoms I had from the endo in a heartbeat compared to the horror of the pain and dysfunction I now have.
