So, according to my doctor, by the time I hit the 3-month mark, the Lupron should be out of my system completely. That happens to be in two days. I have been feeling a lot better over the last few weeks, which is why I kind of stopped writing here. I do not mean to imply that I have had whatsoever no pain, but it's been bearable. I still have felt achy (like I have the flu) most every day. The joint pain is significantly less. Although, yesterday I really started to notice my joints in my hands and my knees hurt. Today my knees were throbbing...and it was only from sitting down in a chair. I also have had quite a bit of cramping in my pelvic area over the last week or so. My ovaries (mainly the left) has been hurting throughout this 'treatment'. I think the endometriosis is back. It must have never left, but just not have been painful because my ovaries and all that were put to sleep for a while. I was near tears today thinking about all this. I went through hell and back with this Lupron, and it didn't help. I knew that the endo would probably come back someday, but according to the pamphlet, it was supposed to be in 5 years or so. I haven't even had a period yet....so I can only imagine how much more the cramping will be when that is factored in as well.
Am I going to have this joint pain for the rest of my life? I mean, sure, it's not as bad as it was....but I'm still in pain. I sit down for 10 minutes, and my knees hurt, I hold a phone for a few minutes, and my hand and wrist hurt. I didn't sign on for this. Had I known then what I know now....I would never in a million years taken this drug. :'(
