| 4 | Endometriosis | no menstruation, occasional to frequent spotting, occasional random cramps, possible slight weight gain in midsection (or am i just getting older?) | I am also on Yaz, where I take only the pills with the hormones (pink pills) and just throw away the placebos (white pills) and start the next month's pack. I started this at the same time as Danazol, so it is difficult to decipher what effects are from which drug... but overall I am very happy with my current drug situation. I was on Lupron for a year after my initial diagnosis and first surgery - it was HORRIBLE. I gained almost 20 lbs and had crazy hot flashes all the time. Went off Lupron, was not on anything for 3 years, and my periods were much shorter than they had been before, and I'd usually only have cramps for 1 day, managable through advil. Then they found an 8 cm mass doing an mri for something else, and I had surgery to remove the mass and my left ovary, which had been consumed by endometrial tissue. I am taking Danazol and Yaz now - *the spotting is better/less frequent if I take the drugs at almost exactly the same time every day and night. I might have had a sl | F | 30 | 6 days | 9/26/2007 | 3 | Hereditary Angioedema | No more periods, MAJOR mood swings, some acne, water retention, weight gain | Helps with swelling in my hands and feet. Doesn't help with my stomach swelling. Still getting weekly stomach attacks on 200mg daily. | F | 29 | 5 months | 8/31/2007 | 3 | Hereditary angioedema | cannot stop menstrating, oily skin, weight gain, leg swelling, blurred vision, and tiredness. | i have not had an attack!! yipee! but i am blind, fat, greasy, and bloody. boo!! | F | 32 | 11 weeks | 8/16/2007 | 5 | fybrocystic breast disease. | Excessive hair growth in unwanted parts, shrinkage in breast size. | I have taken 100mg og Danazol almost everyday for 15 years (well over the recomended time) but I couldn't live without it.My breast pain was so severe I couldn't roll over in bed or even walk around without being in agony, so the good things far out way the bad, it changed my life !! | F | 43 | 15 years | 5/19/2007 | 5 | Endometriosis | Oily skin, acne, voice change, increased "bad cholesterol" & decreased "good cholesterol", muscle cramps. | It worked wonders for the endometriosis pain without causing any really bothersome side effects (except for debilitating muscle cramps during the first 4 months of use). No mood swings or sleep disturbances as with many other hormonal treatments. If my voice hadn't started to sound like a man's and my cholesterol levels hadn't become unhealthy I would most definetely have continued taking it. Bit of a bummer: pain returned almost immediately after discontinuing use. I was using a very low dose: 300 mg per day. | F | 36 | 18 months | 11/1/2005 | 3 | Endometriosis | Just started taking this a couple of days ago. Not sure if it's helped. Just nasea mainly. | If anyone else has any comments, I'd love to see them. | F | 29 | 4 days | 10/14/2004 |
