I started Orgovyx about 2 1/2 months ago. My libido went away within 2 weeks. I’ve had some mild hot flashes but very manageable. I’m terrified of muscle loss so I’ve been working out like a fiend and I think I’ve actually gained muscle mass and definitely have gotten stronger. At least I was…

I just finished my radiation treatment and the last week or so has really taken a toll on me and I haven’t been able to get to the gym as often as I could and have already seen a difference. It goes away quick! Starting to see that beer belly. But that will change tomorrow!

If you haven’t already, I would highly suggest starting a weight training program as well as cardio workouts. If necessary, a few sessions with a personal trainer might be a great investment. Best of luck!

@shmo
Be aware of the fatigue you may feel from taking the ADT drug can be offset by exercise. It sounds counter to logic, but getting out there and exercising seems to offset the fatigue for most people.

@shmo Thanks, I am somewhat active, 3 mile walk in the morning & afternoon, play wii games to stretch with 90 pushups intermittent then 40 minutes on the stationary bike before bed. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. Wife is concerned about the "bedroom" activity, I'm 67 shes 58, we shall see what comes up or doesn't . . . LOL
