I'll probably stay with the firmagon. the side effects look the same. I go every month for blood work, office visit then the shot. The area of the shot does get annoying. This last time the nurse put the spot a little higher then usual, seems to be better, not hitting on my belt like it usually does. Been a little rough last couple days, nothing we haven't been through already though. When having a rough day, I never know what side is causing it though. Like the rest of us, get through the day and hope tomorrow is better, those good days do come and I do so enjoy them. When I have a really really good day, I tell my wife to remind me of the day when it's not going good. Best to all.

According to the Firmagon website, they're supposed to rotate the area of your monthly shot around your naval (e.g. top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) so that every "quadrant" gets a 4-month rest before the next shot. That helped a bit for me.
