Re: I am so afraid
I also suffer from heavy bleeding. I had a 2 month long period before I had my first Lupron shot. The period had stopped the day before the shot though.
Yesterday was 2 weeks since my first shot. My period has not returned like I was told it might. The side affects havent been too bad. A couple of times I have been dizzy when I stood up to fast. There have been some hot flashes, which to be honest, are more comical than anything else- because they are always at odd times, like in my office when everyone else is freezing and there I am with my head out the window. I havent noticed headaches being worse than normal.
But even with the side affects....I feel better because I am not bleeding. I can already tell a difference in engergy- I assume because my anemia is lessening. The Lupron shot can be given once a month, so even if you hate the side affects, your surgery is in a month, so you are already in the home stretch. I think it would be worth trying, just to get your blood level up before surgery.
