Endometriosis and Weight Gain
I have had endometriosis for 17 years, but was finally correctly diagnosed with it 3 years ago after many doctors not knowing what was wrong with me for all these years. I am currently in Stage 4 and have completed 6 months of Lupron treatments. I have gained 25 pounds since I started treatments and find it very difficult to lose any weight even with exercising daily and watching my diet. Does anyone have any advise?

I also have endometriosis but I don't know what Lupron is. Is it helping?

Lupron is a form of chemotherapy drug used to treat severe endometriosis. My doctor put me on it because my endo was spreading from my female organs upward and causing complications with my digestive system. Lupron worked in stopping the spread of endo and shrinking it. The drug has many side effects such as hot sweats, weight gain, trouble concentrating, and depression. For me it brought relief, but I would not recommend going on Lupron as a long term solution.
