Hot flashes after Lupron: 7 months and counting

I am at 13 months since my last 3-month Lupron shot and my very severe side effects have just started to abate. I had very severe headaches, muscle pain, joint pain, bone pain, continuous cold sweats and occasional hot sweats. These typically occurred 24 hours a day with no let up. l believe I would have died or killed myself if I had one more Lupron shot. My cardiologist felt that the Lupron was also harming my heart. I am 83, now have a 115 testosterone level, and PSA < 0.03 for last 6 months. Before treatment I had a 11.0 PSA, 3 ea. 3+3 and 1 ea. 4+4 Gleason measurements. Treatment was 44 radiation treatments and 4- months of Lupron.
