How long do symptoms last after completing ADT?

@johnernest Take Orgovyx if you can. The recovery time is fraction of Lupron.

@jimbo12
What happens when you try to walk on the sidewalk? Stability or balance issues? How about using Nordic Walking poles? I am thinking I can't hike longer distance because of my low Testosterone level. You have decent amount of Testosterone level!

I have read that more than 50% of men never fully recover from hormone treatment. I had a one month shot followed by a 3 month shot and thought I was going to die from the headaches, severe sweating, sore muscles, and brain fog. Now 7 months after my 3-month shot i am just starting to feel some improvement. However, my testosterone is still less than 10 and PSA < 0.1. I am 83 and still very physically active but a subzero libido. I feel that for many men the hormone treatment does more harm than good. Much of the harm like damage to the heart and other muscles is hard to measure.

I have read that more than 50% of men will never recover from side effects or have enough testosterone for sexual activity. Never is forever.

It is hard to explain. I just do not have the strength, balance, and confidence of before. If I used those poles (or even a cane), I would draw too much attention from some of the dangerous people who prowl the streets looking for weak victims. Thank you for your kindness.

@pesquallie I’m afraid you may be right , it’s very frustrating to the point it’s hard to even try At 79 with a 11 yr younger and attractive wife , each day is a downer

@jimbo12
If you use Nordic poles, you will look athletic not weak! It is a fitness walking workout not just casual stroll.

@jimbo12 A cane could become a pretty handy defensive weapon....

I've read lupron side effects (hotflashes) ect can remain for as long as you've been on lupron.
I was on 2 years and now taking gabapentin and black cohosh to help sleep.

@graybeard46 Please don't let each day be a downer?! My husband & I are still romantic, etc. He just stopped ADT after almost 5yrs, but I don't really expect return of his libido. I just feel bad he can't get that particular pleasure back, but there is still the mindful attraction to each other with the rest of the body even at almost 78 & 60yrs married. Remember, menopause can do a real number on the opposite sex?!
