Does anyone else think this could sort of work?

Hi my polish friend said this and she could be right tbh (It's all true what you say. Living with an illness means limitations and sacrifices. I don't know, but maybe it would be beneficial to induce menopause to stop the hyperplasia of the endometriosis and the bleeding cycle.) Has anyone else had this and has it worked?

Zoladex and other similar injections are used for exactly this purpose ❤️❤️

Hard to say. I’ve been on Zoladex since 2013, then got diagnosed with diabetes soon after starting the injections (not the cause). I had to change my diet to low carb and lost a stone, and have kept it off since.

First course of Zoladex I had I gained about 2 stone but my appetite increased and I ate a lot, not sure if it was circumstantial or due to the drug as I’d changed my job and began studying. However, I’ve had 3 courses of prostap since then and my weight stayed the same I only had ad-back therapy with the last 2 courses.
