I have had all the ADT symptoms you mentioned. However, I have not had the desire to return to my “old self”
that has a certain youthful vitality. Right now I am accepting of my situation and consider it the hand I was dealt by life. Some benefits are that I don’t feel frustrated or longing for the “good old days”. In addition, I am grateful for what I have rather than resentful for what I don’t have. I have no idea if that resonates with you and realize it doesn’t directly address your concerns. However, you did mention that you benefited from people sharing their life experiences. I hope I have done that in a faithful manner. I wish you all good things…

Sicetnon, thanks for your post. Now and then I feel I should start an ADT Fan Club of sorts. I'm in my 4th year of Eligard, and no, it's not all fun, but it's not all bad, either. I guess each person reacts differently.

I really don't want to go back to being so #$*@ *$@& horny all the time, getting distracted by any woman who passes by, like a dog fixed on a squirrel. I'm starting to feel at peace with my new sexuality (I now self-identify as "post-sexual"). And the ability to enjoy the Hallmark Channel is a bonus.
