I thought I was okay with the treatment as I did not feel a thing on my first shot but later did I know after the second shot that I am starting to feel different. My back hurts most of the day and never a miss at night! The agony of not being able to sleep well at night and the not-good mornings I welcome. The backpain is accompanied by nausea most of the time. I feel like I wanted to vomit because of the back pain. I was advised before that I need to take lots of calcium and I don't know if drinking milk tea even helps since I don't really drink milk. Even sitting up straight doesn't lessen the pain neither lying flat on the floor nor putting any fcuking anything at my back! Did I mention that sometimes I can even feel the pain up to my neck? I feel so sick. I just wish this treatment and its effects will end right at this very moment! Hot flushes--doubled by the summer heat- is like being punished for being a sinner all my life. Its like God threw me down hell to burn! burn! burn! I also noticed I often have mood swings. One second I'm happy next I am mad, I just can't control the roller coaster of emotions! And who suffers most? mi amore! The only good thing about Luprolex is that I am losing weight no matter how much I eat. Yes, I don't have to worry about counting calories nor gaining weight every morning! I'm normally 48-49 kg but every morning when I weigh my weight drops to 45-46 kg! But God, I'd rather jog 30mins every morning than feel this terrible! This Wednesday I will be having my last shot of Luprolex. I can't wait to finish this treatment!!!
I have my last shot of Luprolex this week.But thanks God I feel normal. What I always remember is to take calcium and eat more green vegetables and fruits.
ReplyDeleteI am also under the same treatment. I've been taking it for 4 months now. I took the "good for 3 months shot". I too felt the side effects - hot flushes, backaches, pain at the back of my head aside from the migraines, nausea and yes, mood swings. I notice that I only felt these on the first month I took the shot afterwards, it goes away. Of course it comes and goes during my predicted Ovulation day/s and predicted period day/cycle every month as these are the days hormones do their work. The drug is somewhat telling my body not to menstruate. It seems like the body is still confuse as to what to do and so that is why we feel the side effects of the drug. These are my opinion and experience only though, better ask the doctors. =)
