AnswerHi Tessie,
Wow-Lupron-The wonder drug...
My doctor gave me the very first trial of Lupron in 1993. I was one of the first test subjects for the drug, therefore at no cost. lol I was feeling pretty good after being treated with Lupron. No periods, no cramps, no breast lumps; however there was a small price for the free injections for me to pay. I developed weak bones, and lost a bunch of hair.
Lupron treatment is a form of chemo.

One of the side effects of Lupron is poor memory.
You mentioned having trouble going to the bathroom. You must drink "lots of water" while being treated with Lupron because the drug will cause constipation-dry skin-hair loss-thirst-bladder problems.
Tessie, Drink plenty of water, and you will be feeling much better in the near future. :-)
Bet
