I have been constantly lifting weights but today when I mowed the yard I must say it kicked my ass. I have been on Orgovyx going on seven weeks. I was drinking lots of water but I have never felt this drained. Wondering what others reaction to mowing yard at 7 weeks into Orgovyx

Most of the fatigue comes from being in a low-testosterone state, not the specific ADT drug. I lift 4 days a week and rarely feel it in the gym, but yard work — especially in the heat — can bring on rapid fatigue. I’ve learned to pace myself with house or yard chores, go slow and easy, and stay hydrated. My personal experience is that both exercise and diet play a role — I’ve cut way back on sugar, can’t drink alcohol at all, and the fatigue can be random. Sometimes it just hits out of nowhere and then passes.
