Today, I went to my doctor's office and had my final of six Lupron injections.
For those of you just tuning in, earlier this year I had an exploratory laparoscopy to confirm an endometriosis diagnosis.
Actually having the disease prompted my doc to prescribe a six month course of Lupron as a follow-up therapy.
Many of you may remember my kvetching during the first couple of months about the hot flashes and night sweats. Those went away after a while, but the puffy face, swollen knees, and elephant thighs did not.
That is why I'm going to be so freakin' excited when this month is out and I look like myself again. You wouldn't think that a few pounds of water weight could damage a woman's self-esteem, but let me tell you - it can. I've had to buy special clothes to hide my knees and thighs because I feel like they look like they had reverse-liposuction.
I'm stoked.
