Endometriosis
"I took it 8 years ago for fibroids, cysts, and severe endometriosis.  I was on Lupron for a year after trying other options. I had hot flashes and joint pain, plus a lot of the other symptoms mentions.  Calcium and Vit D helped with joint pain. The symptoms remained consistent while I was on the Lupron, however even with the side effects, the year that I was on Lupron was the best I have ever felt. FINALLY no more debilitating pain. I got pregnant after the 6 month weening off period and had two kids. If endo is an inconvenience for you, maybe not the best drug. If endo is ruining your life, some side effects and symptoms are worth getting your life back.  I am on it again and grateful that there is something out there that gives me relief"
