As a vet I have no idea with the cost of meds. I’ve heard of meds being close to a million dollars. If I need then the VA gives them to me.
About my Dads reaction to Lupron [ I’m not a doctor, however I think it was the 6 month dose in one shot. This is why I opted for the one month shot. My experience was some of Dads side effects for two days from my first shot give in the fatty part of my arm. There was a hard lump in the shot of injection. The second shot was in my belly and I had virtually no side effects and I tarted feeling peppy . My third shot I felt like I was being treated with pep meds. My sleep got better. The frequency of urination went from every 2 hours to twice a night. My daily ruinations trip was up to 4 mourns. Now I’m up to 6 to 6.5 hours and the strength of my urine was splashing on the top of the bowl and no stopping and starting. My exercise routine went from a 4 mile walk to 4 miles twice a day and occasional jog.
But I see muscle shrinkage in my arm and legs. But worst of all I have uncomfortable chest discomfort and never before edema in my feet and lower legs which someone said is an indication of congestive heart failure
This non doctor changes my meds according to what works. So after reading the pedesterone 1 a day, I changed to one a week after the article that once a week results in building muscles which once a day breaks muscles down. I feel better with the once pill a week
I’m makes more changes and have a few ideas that I’ll talk about at a later date

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.
