@llsteve, Lupron is a type of hormone therapy for prostate cancer that works by lowering the amount of testosterone in a person’s body, which helps slow the growth of cancer cells.

Are you taking Lupron?

Yes, started with 3 months shot on Jan 24th, just over 3 weeks ago. Only recognized side effects this week. First, low-grade headache. Second, frequent urination, and for the last two days I've had very frequent and severe hot flashes. Enough that I haven't had much sleep. Requested meds for the hot flashes this AM. Good luck!
