Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

I don't know if anyone else has heard of this, but it upset me enough to try to spread awareness. A woman in another forum that I belong to was given a drug by her gyn called Androcur Depot. She wanted to know if anyone knew of this drug..I hadn't, so I looked it up. And to my dismay, it was very similar to Lupron, but the side effects are widely
noted. Which are many many side effects that I have personally experienced with Lupron. I'm out-raged. To make matters worse...Lupron is stated that it may help women with Endo...it is one of the "treatments", however, this Androcur Depot is specifically for advanced prostate cancer patients. What the heck? Are doctors just prescribing Cancer treatments left and right for Endo? I am very upset
about this and had to spread the word. If you look up Androcur Depot, you will see many of the side effects are common that many, such as myself have experienced with Lupron.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

In certain ways endo mimics cancer but it is not cancer. It's not even conclusive that having endo increases your chances of getting cancer.
Thanks Mag for the shot info.
