Orgovyx and zytiga side effects

I have been exercising 15 minutes or aerobic exercise and an hour of weightlifting, both 5 times a week. This is the same amount of exercise I’ve been doing most of my life. It’s very challenging with brain fog influencing my motivation; the feeling of severe tiredness after I do a weight exercise; and what feels like being out of breathe but it’s just the body saying stop for a minute. I have kept up the routine, fighting my mind and body as I know that by not doing it I will feel even more fatigued. I hope that I can continue as getting to the gym is becoming more of a challenge both physically and mentally.

Your younger than I. Go for it. I m too tired at 75. I walk a mile 3x a week and lift light weights daily. Can’t build muscle with 4.6 testosterone level. I m becoming a prune.

Since you are on Zytiga with Prednisone and if your fatigue is so bad that you are having a hard time getting out of bed then increasing your prednisone can help. There was a doctor in a recent conference that talked about his Gleason 9 prostate cancer and the fact that he increased his prednisone because he was having too much fatigue. I mentioned it to someone I know, and he got his doctor to allow him to increase his and it helped a lot with fatigue. Speak to your doctor about this see if more prednisone will help you

With ADT (and Zytiga) exercise is the usual solution. Walking two or more miles a day and doing some exercises can offset the fatigue. I’ve done it for years and after almost 8 years of being on ADT I still don’t have the fatigue issue. I usually can’t sleep more than six hours a night, and I’m not tired when I get up.

You should also try to do weightlifting or equivalent exercises. Your muscles will deteriorate a lot on ADT, keeping them tuned up with exercise can help offset that deterioration. Brain fog is another issue you may encounter, It just happens when you’re on the drugs for a while. A recent trial called the Patch trial found if one used estrogen it can replace Lupron or Orgovyx, and does not have all of the deleterious effects. Look up the patch trial and speak to your doctor.

I will be 77 in three weeks. I walk a mile twice a day every day. It seems to help a lot with the fatigue. I did physical therapy for 4 months after having my knee replaced. I’ve had noticeable muscle building, even though I’ve been on Lupron for eight years and my testosterone is extremely low. I started going to the gym three times a week and having a personal trainer work with me once a week, I do exercises the whole time and really don’t take breaks for more than a minute or two in the hour I am there. I’ve had noticeable muscle building occurring, I am able to lift more weight, And do exercises with higher weights with my arms and my legs.

You can rebuild your muscles even with low testosterone and in the late 70’s. You just have to be determined to ignore your fatigue, and it seems to reduce with exercise. You should see how much sweat I have when I’m doing these exercises just dripping off my forehead. Low Testosterone sure brings up the sweat when you’re exercising a lot, bring a towel.
