Hi There! Approximately 6mo Ago Was Diagnosed With Severe Endometriosis

Hi there! Approximately 6mo ago was diagnosed with severe endometriosis and fibroid tumors on my uterus. I have been getting the shot lupron for the past 6 mo! I'm in worse shape now than I ever was. I have joints all over my body that hurt constantly, memory loss, swollen extremities, and now have developed bursitis in my knee. All of these are are side effects of this shot. Not to mention my hot flashes. The only side effect I was told about was that it would through me into menopause. Had I known all of these other things could possibly happen I would have found an alternative. My doctor wants me to continue for another 2 years with the lupron shots. I think not, I'm done, 6mo of this horrible feeling is enough. I now am trying to find a knee doctor that doesn't think I'm crazy when I tell them it's from the lupron shots. It is one of the side effects and I was in perfect health before I started this in February 2015. I feel like I'm falling apart...it's the lupron.
