Serious complications and side effects from prostate cancer treatments

@tommcpheeters I'm now at about 6 weeks with Orgovyx, and 2 with abiraterone / prednisone. A great night's sleep is a thing of the past, but a couple of things have helped me: The inevitable hot flash in the middle of the night is my cue to get up and pee, even if I don't NEED to. Cools me off, and forestalls the later bathroom need, and hey, I'm going to be awake for awhile anyway. I also take my abbie then, to avoid that annoying daytime "eating by the clock". Afternoon naps also help, and as Jeff said, short ones so I don't steal from the coming night's rest.

I had terrible hot flashes with ADT (Lupron)and Abbie. Eight years later, I’m on Orgovyx And still getting hot flashes, though they are milder. Abbie really made the hot flashes a lot more intense.
I would wake up at night with a sheet wet under me because I had hot sweats and hot flashes. I got an Embrlabs.com Wave 2 Device and it pretty much stopped the nightly hot flashes and was able to reduce the daily ones a little bit. It has two buttons one you can set for a day and one you can set for night. If you get one post a message about it or I can send you instructions for how to optimally configure it. I’ve used it for five years and i’ve worked closely with the company that whole time.
One of the doctors at Mayo did a monthly talk about ADT and posted this information about drugs. You can get that can stop hot flashes. I’ll post that slide. Some people have been able to successfully get Acupuncture treatment for it.
