I’ve never heard of giving a Lupron shot in the arm or the belly. They do it with the Eligard shot, not Lupron itself. I always got it in the hip/thigh, No side effects at all from the shot and I had a six month shot for six years. I know many people prefer the three month shot. Taking Orgovyx once a day is preferable, when you stop your testosterone comes back much quicker.
I’m not sure what you were saying about prednisone, You seem to have spelled it wrong, but I’m not sure that’s the pill you’re talking about.
If you are taking prednisone because you are on Zytiga Your system is not going to like that over the long-term. Zytiga Prevents your body from Producing cortisol, Which is necessary to regulate sleep. Prednisone offsets that and gives you back the cortisol that is missing.
Yes, your muscles will break down from Lupron. I found that I could not get off the floor because my muscles were so deteriorated from it. I started going to the gym three days a week, most of the time, and that has made a major difference in building back my muscles and my ability to up get off the floor.
You definitely don’t need prednisone to build muscles. You can do that by doing weight exercises, even if you are on ADT. I am 77 years old and I’ve been able to do it even though I’ve been on ADT for nine years.
