Endometriosis
"I was diagnosed with endometriosis during an appendectomy, but due to cluster headaches hormones were contraindicated. Eventually Lupron was advised. My mom, who NEVER had any menstrual cramps, told me horror stories and I reacted as usual and agreed to the Lupron injections, and I have lived to regret it. Like so many others, I had severe menopausal symptoms,  mood swings that made my fiance think I was bipolar, and attempted suicide twice in a 3 month period, which is very unlike me. It caused weight gain, which I&#039;d never had, and threw me into early menopause at the age of 46, 8 years after treatment. Now I&#039;m suffering from acute hypertension and I&#039;m at risk for a stroke, which can&#039;t be attributed to anything else. But hey, no cramps!"
