ADT, maybe not? Anyone opted out of ADT?

@carbcounter All I can say is that when I reduced exercise, I felt like “death warmed over,” and by adding weight training and some moderately vigorous exercise, I have better energy for at least a few hours daily. At nighttime, I’m exhausted regardless.

Thanks.
I'll forward this to my friend.
He used to be something of a runner but with his current leg pains he's going to have to carefully work up to it.
(frankly I think he needs to suspend the Orgovyx and is being somewhat overtreated for his severity, I thought that from the start and all these discussions here over the last weeks have pretty much confirmed it)
He's also never been much of a gym rat, afaik. I was for some years, never was that much for running, neither ankles nor knees seemed happy with it, LOL. I think I walk more now than I ever ran before. OTOH I used to bicycle a fair amount, until increasing age and increasing traffic talked me out of it.
FWIW he gets more exercise trying to keep his trees and garden trimmed but has complained for months now about lacking the energy for it.

After 8 years of ADT I still don’t feel much fatigue.
I go to sleep A little after midnight every night And wake about 6:15 to 6:30 in the morning. I occasionally have fatigue in the afternoon and take a 25 minute nap. That keeps me up till midnight or later even on the days I feel thar need for a nap.
I do run a mile on the track twice a day even on the three days I go to the gym. I drink 16 ounces of electrolytes almost every morning. That enabled me to build up the stamina to run the track without stopping.
It looks like everybody’s different when it comes to their reaction to ADT.
