Why Leuprolide (Lupron Depot) Injections Didn't Help My Endometriosis [CC]

- The leuprolide injections were my last ditch effort for easing my endometriosis. But it didn't help. In fact, it caused issues with my bones despite taking the required precautions. Here's my story.
Firstly a very important disclaimer: We all react differently to the various drugs out there and this experience is no different. I have quite a few health issues other than endometriosis, such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, adenomyosis, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and painful bladder syndrome (to name a few). Therefore this experience of mine, is mine alone - I'm just sharing what I've experienced.Please always seek the opinion of an endometriosis specialist before you decide on whether the leuprolide injection (lupron depot) is right for you.

I also have..... almost all your same conditions. And also had HUGE issues with Depo Lupron. I was on it for 9 months and then had a series of surgeries because no one's got time for that.
Wow, 9 months is a long time - how has your bone health been since then? And how are you doing now? I hope you are in a better place with your health now.
@@FootprintsNoBoundariesByShruti I've had a DEXA since then that was normal, but I'm under 40 still.
I'm in a worse place, but now pursuing issues with Cortisol that seem promising. I'm an autoimmune trainwreck already, so it wouldn't be surprising.
And wouldn't it be nice to have a diagnosis with an easy solution? "It's dangerous to go without Cortisol. Here, take this pill."
@@petrapedia O' gosh yes it would be really good to have a pill... in fact one pill that solves it all!
I am on lupron depot, will be taking my third shot on mid Jan, I do get headaches and hot flushes sometimes also light headedness. But hope it will ease my period
Hi Parismita... I really hope lupron depot helps you. :)
Thanks for sharing .currently on a 3 month injection further injections were not a part of my plan with my doctor but if they were I would decline. After 3 surgeries in 10 months it has helped me but the side effects are terrible
Hi Simone - thank you for sharing this. How are you feeling now? And how's your recovery from surgery going? I hope you're taking additional care of your bone health?
@@FootprintsNoBoundariesByShruti hanging in there. Last month and I can’t wait. Not sure if it’s a thing but I feel like I’m going through withdrawal symptoms during this last month. Recovery is going well. Slow but getting better everyday. Hoping another surgery is not in my future at least not for several more years. Thanks for checking in
Any type of medication, plus the health condition and our own mental state - a combination of it all can take us through a whirlwind of emotions - plus you are taking medication which is looking to control your hormones so I guess some withdrawal symptoms should be expected. I would suggest speaking to your doctor about this especially if it starts to trouble you more than would be okay with.
And yes, I hope so too that you don't need another surgery. Good luck on your journey of health.
@@FootprintsNoBoundariesByShruti thanks so much. Content like yours is so helpful.. this can be a lonely process.
Yes, despite the support I get, the experience of all the symptoms can make you feel so alone. I remind myself that at least I do have so much external support so even if I feel lonely, I know I have people to share those raw emotions with. I hope you do too.
I am starting Leupron probably at the end of the week. I can’t find any information other then yours about it that is recent. Everything I’ve found was back from 2004-2011
Hi... I really hope you get the results you need from lupron and you've made sure you're going to be taking care of your bones - I hope the doctor has advised you of everything you need to know.
Good luck :)
Hi how was your experience?
I’m scared now
I suppose to get mine next week
I'm supering with the myoma and it's to much pain 😢in my abdominal.. that's why I'm asking to my gyny to the option this injection leupron..
I have also taken lupride injection...for 2 years...in 2019 and 2022.and one injection for every 3 month....
But after taking them I got my period after 2 or 3 months but the symptoms were same as they were earlier ... severe pain during periods, vomiting,leg stretch..can't stand and completely on bed for 5 days......at that time I didn't have so much issues...but now I have pain in my back a lot, sometime I m facing bone pain ..hair fall very much
Hi Pushpa, Your symptoms sound really bad.
Have you gone to see an endometriosis specialist?
@@FootprintsNoBoundariesByShruti no ...I have gone to gynecologist only
Please do see a specialist because gynaecologists don't have the experience and the training to properly treat endometriosis.
Me I have now 3mons injection at leupron.
i was having spotting when i was injected my first dose. the spotting continued to 5 days until the spotting turned into a regular menstruation. should i call my OB?
Your doctor will know your case better - so it's always best to speak to your doctor whenever you have any doubts. Good luck and I hope you get the relief you're looking for.
I done my 3rd shot of injections this month 27th Oct and now waiting for period .... in which month I'll got period any one can tell me... ? Please
Hi Avani, no one can really tell you when you'll get your period because everyone's body reacts differently to the injections.
For me, as I've mentioned in the video, it took 3 months before they restarted.
The best would be to speak to your doctor.
Good luck.
Ya ma'am right... But any suggestions for me regarding best health after this 3 dose of injections... I'm taking medicines of vitamins.. Anything else do I need to do?
@@avanipancholi20 You should ideally have a thorough blood test done to know what vitamins you do need, including calcium and a bone density scan (something I've mentioned in the video) - but remember to speak to your doctor and have these prescribed. Even on what else you should do, again, speak to your doctor, nutritionist and physiotherapist to make sure you are on the right diet and exercise plan.
@@FootprintsNoBoundariesByShruti yes... Thank you so much ma'am
Did you do the add back therapy?
Hi, I don't know what that is.

Mam how to overcome side effects of lupron..plz say
Personally, I really struggled to deal with the side-effects of Lupron so I can't advise what to do and also, I don't know what side-effects you're experiencing - so if you can be more specific, it'll help.
I had fibroid laproscopy in jan 2023 & also taken 3 monthly shots of lupride 3.75 mg & also feeling joint pain.. & also didnt get period yet..
Pls suggest solution for joint & bone pain
