10 Straight years of Danazol???

View More Posts Ignore
Hi, I have had ITP for over 17 years. When I was first diagnosed I was precribed Danazol. I stayed on it for 10 years straight. I stopped my menses, which at the time was a good thing. But over 7 years ago my dr took me off it. Almost immediately I was having muscle and tendon problems. Fatigue and Memory Problems. I was then dx with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. Then came dx with COPD, then last year Endometrios came back after a 20 year remission. I've had hypothyroid (Hashimoto's) for 22 years.

Now I am finding myself being tested for Adrenal disfunctions, due to such extreme fatigue. My concentration is horrible, memory is worse. I am feeling so weak that I'm having problems functioning. My Endo has said in the past that my lab numbers were OK for my hypothyroid. Right now waiting for them to come in again.

Sorry for the rambling. Here's the question: Has anyone had a very long term treatment with Danazol and had any side aftects afterwards???
