I AM 85 WITH 2.5 YEARS OF ADT. Have had all the same side effects while on ADT and am now 3 months post treatment. PSA >0.01 fo r now.

Had a brief respite from symptoms (couple of weeks) immediately upon stopping but most have resumed - hot flashes, pain in joint and muscles, more charley horses and shin splints, brain fog, fatigue, etc,

Was hoping to resume sex, 12 hr work days, and an interest in daily life. Literature says very unlikely, but hoping.

Thanks to all of you who are longer past treatment who shared success and still waiting.

Will post again next year.

@ikep, I can understand your wish to regain interest in daily life and sex, not sure about getting back to 12-hour work days. We mourn things that are taken from us, of course. I hope the symptoms improve with time, like they have for some.

Do you find exercise or physical activity helps?
