So we left off with me telling you that Doc put me on Lupron after my surgery. Ahh yes; Lupron....
(Excerpt taken from previous document of my experiences)
While I was on the Lupron, I didn’t have any periods so I didn’t have any pain. However, I was hot flashing all over the place and suffered from severe insomnia. I was waking up almost every hour, covers on --- covers off because I was hot and then cold. I was unfocused and tired at work. It was just a crazy time. The Lupron started wearing off and I started to feel normal again, although my periods hadn’t started back yet. I was happy, but just a little concerned about why my period had not come on yet and whether that was normal.
Come September 2005, I finally had my first period since being off the Lupron. Oh, No! The pains from the endometriosis came back with a vengeance. I went into the hospital in excruciating pain. Staff ended up giving me morphine, which felt like a blessing sent by God. For Real. I then had a sonogram and pelvic probe. Finally I could get some rest and sleep.
I had already had an appointment scheduled with Doc G. When I saw him I told him what happened and asked if all of my periods were going to be like this and he said he didn’t know. The Sunday after my period started I started taking birth control pills Doc had prescribed (ortho tri cyclen). The hope was that taking birth control pills would help me during my periods.
