What a mess. These kids are being experimented on and it's going to end in terrible outcomes.

I mean, yeah. We kinda know as we've been banging on about it a fair while now. It already has had horrific consequences. The horrific consequences were the reason it was prescribed.

"Marrs, an endocrine specialist who studies women’s health, said she was surprised by the severity and duration of Lupron’s side effects, so she posted a survey aimed at getting more information. With little funding to do outreach, more than 1,000 surveys came back.

The women reportedd_ a wide range of symptoms: 30 percent cited severe joint pain, 29 percent, severe body aches; 26 percent, cracking teeth; and 20 percent reported osteoporosis. More than half reported moderate to life-threatening depression. Fifteen percent of the women rated their suicidal thoughts as life-threatening to severe.
Marrs believes a uniting factor explains the diverse and severe range of symptoms. Lupron cuts off a woman’s estrogen, eliminating a key hormone called estradiol that regulates the energy centers of the cell, the mitochondria. She said the missed connection between the hormone and cellular powerhouse will hurt each woman where her body is most vulnerable.
“If your mitochondria break down, your nerves start to break down; if your nerves start to break down, your muscles break down. It’s the cascade of effects,” said Marrs, chief executive of the Nevada-based Lucine Health Sciences research firm."

”30 percent cited severe joint pain, 29 percent, severe body aches; 26 percent, cracking teeth; and 20 percent reported osteoporosis. “

I have a friend who has all of these. And more. I suspect she took Lupron or something similar. She went through many IVF procedures.

These reports are from six years ago! Has anything been done in the interim?

puffyisgood · 27/04/2023 11:25

It surely can't be all that bad. Alan Turing was on it and he cracked the Enigma code?

Rightsraptor · 27/04/2023 11:33

Alan Turing was a man, as you know @puffyisgood, and we are talking about women. Men aren't women, remember? The effects of any drug will have different effects on male vs female bodies.

Plus, Turing cracked the Enigma code before he was force fed drugs.

Do try to keep up.

I think @puffyisgood was being sarcastic, at least I hope so.

There's loads of results if you Google lupron side effects. This one for example

And a fair few hits for 'lupron ruined my life', which was a Google autocomplete.

Alan Turing wasn't on anything like Lupron. He was forced to take synthetic oestrogen for a year, and died a year afterwards, of (probable) suicide.

The FDA currently has over 25,000 adverse event reports for Lupron products including more than 1500 deaths. Reactions include suicidal thoughts, stroke, muscle atrophy and debilitating bone and joint pain.

Tonnes of issues:

Eg

On December 28, 2012, Dr. David Redwine posted on one of Facebook's Lupron Victims page (no longer publicly available) the following paragraph: "FDA and Lupron: A year ago, I completed a very detailed review of the original studies which brought Lupron to market. The review was based on the studies which were entered as exhibits in the Klein case in Las Vegas in August 2011, although the plaintiff was not allowed to discuss the studies!! I found evidence of systematic 'data management issues' - the raw data did not always support the conclusions. In fact the raw data virtually never supported the major conclusions, but this was glossed over in summary tables and summary discussions, which were probably all the FDA had time and manpower to look at. I sent the review to the FDA a year ago. They have reassured me in emails over the last year that they are looking into my concerns and will let me know when they completed their review. Nothing has happened. A review that a single doctor compiled in 4 months has languished in the bowels of the FDA for over a year. It is time for women who have victims of Lupron to write the FDA and demand toknow what is happening with this review. Martin Kaufman is the person at the FDA who has been corresponding with me. His email address is: [email protected]. I have contacted my Oregon US Senators, and have given them the information in the review and asked them to prod the FDA, but only one of them wrote back ... [addendum by Dr. Redwine on same page at "3-19-13" states:] Mr. Kaufman at the FDA ... said that my review had undergone extensive primary review and was now undergoing secondary review and it would be a few more months" ... David Redwine, M.D. Bend Oregon.
In fact, Dr. Redwine's 'Review' of the raw data from the endometriosis clinical trials revealed a very troubling analysis. In one example of fraudulent data and altered outcomes, Dr. Redwine found the raw data indicated "62.5% of women had not regained baseline estrogen levels one year after stopping Lupron ... This is definitive evidence of long-term damage to ovarian function." (For further info, see p. 26 in amicus curiae for US Supreme Courtt in the Klein case). Since the '90s, reports have accumulated describing young women who, after lupron, experienced premature menopause, ovarian failure, and infertility. Lupron's manufacturer claims in Lupron's label that the Lupron-induced hypoestrogenism (low estrogen) "is reversible on discontinuationn of drug therapy."

Previously a poster has posted about her horrific experience on Lupron (or equivalent) it was a very short course but left her was long standing effects.

The effects were known, the data was available from adults, yet they are prescribed to children.
