Firmagon crippled me for a couple days with extreme back pain if I tried to move. I was dumb enough to let him inject me twice tho I at least wore depends that night. I had Lupron depot for severl months after that and eventually was cancer free for several years. I started wit Lupron again and had no issues till I received the 6mo Lupron which worked great for 2 years but gave me a complete body rash, head to toe. I must be special.

I took 6 Month Lupron shots for six years. I’ve never had any noticeable side effects besides hot flashes. I did have the muscle deterioration that it causes and had to go on both strengtheners for the whole time I’ve been on it. I try to go to the gym three times a week to offset the muscle loss.
Got to admit the rash problem is really an obscure problem. I attend a lot of online meetings, at least eight or nine a month and I have not heard anybody else say they had that as a problem.
