I don't know if I can actually bring myself to have another injection after a week of hell!

The night sweats mean I've hardly slept, I'm hardly keeping food down because usually I throw it straight back up. Everything aches. The hot flushes are awful. I had a period for a week and now I have blood in my stools! And the endo pain is worse. I had to rant, I know a few of you have experienced this all

Going through the same at moment hun. So chat to me whenever. ;-). Sending my sympathy x

I was exactly the same when I was first given zoladex in 2001, everything I ate I brought back up 5 minutes later, I had night sweats and hot flushes and became quite ill and ended up having to have fortisip and it was because I wasn't given HRT, I was finally given it in 2003 and the vomiting and night sweats stopped, hope this helps x

How long does the vomiting last?

in reply to

I was sick every day for about 8 months, my weight went down to 5 & 1/2 stone which is why I was put on fortisip, it took 6 months on fortisip for my weight to reach 7 stone then they put me on steroids for 9 months then back on zoladex, the vomiting started again and that's when they realised I needed HRT

Oh my goodness!

Did the zoledex do anything for your endometriosis ?

in reply to

It did help and I had a laparoscopy to rid the endo but a few months later I'd be in pain again

My vomiting only lasted a week. But I was so scared to eat solids. I managed to keep some soup down. Just waiting for my lap date now
