Some of the side effects of Lupron are compared to those of menopause: hot flashes, insomnia, nausea, etc. It is only day 3 of the injections and I am experiencing all three and then some! I have had crazy vivid dreams that when I wake up I can't tell if it was real or not. In addition, I slept like crap last night and have had many bouts of nausea today (thank god for saltine crackers!). I don't know that I have had an all out hot flash yet, but last night before bed I had to have Jon turn my ceiling fan on and I am sitting here at my desk with my mini fan blasting on me while my office co-worker has her space heater on! Therefore, I'm thinking that I am having constant hot flashes. :)
I am surprised at how easy the administering of the injections has been. I didn't sleep well Friday night knowing that the injections would begin Saturday and spent most of the day on Saturday dreading 6pm (my injection time). All of that ended up being for nothing as the needle is no bigger than one used to inject insulin and I hardly felt a poke on my stomach.
On Sunday I woke up with a feeling that I can really do this. For the first time since all of this started, my spirits have been really high and we really appreciate all of the well wishes from everyone!
