Eligard: What symptoms can I expect?

I am on Eligard with a variety of symptoms including fatigue, frequent nighttime urination, joint pain especially fingers and neck, increased appetite and impact on blood pressure. I am curious as to what symptoms others folks have had. To date I have had the prostate removed, two major doses of radiation, damage to bladder from radiation and slight increases in PSA that go to normal and then back to about .037.

Hot flashes are a major problem for me. Have been for at least eight years, I have found ways to reduce them not eliminate them ..
Brain fog is another one you will experience overtime. Just can’t remember the names, all the facts come to you, but the names disappear.
Lack of muscles, deterioration of muscles. Happens over time you need to keep exercising and do weight training to offset the deterioration

Yes, the muscle loss is very apparent to me although at first I thought it was just age related. I remember getting into a squat position once and not being able to get up. Since then I have been going to a fitness club. We’ll see if that helps!
