Not much info, but had serious vision problems when on Lupron, prednosone, taxotere, and Xtandi all at same time.

Well that explains it a little better. You're getting hit quite a bit. We're all in the same boat. I just hope your handling the taxotere better than I did. Keep us informed.

The taxotere really sucks down for about a week and a half after treatment but I get another week and a half of good so i'm ok with that!!

Prednisone causes me to have ocular migraines and, occasionally, temporary blurred vision.

Is that why I've been having the occasional blurred vision? So good to know!

Besides chemo (taxotere) what else are you swallowing down? Along with my other treatments I am also taking prednisone. It does cause me to have slight headaches and some blurred vision. Mostly in the a.m. It's a rollercoaster. Try to be a little more specific so we can maybe help you better.

Sorry Ralphie, I'm taking prednisone twice daily and Bicalutamide daily and on Lupron(and of course Taxotere).Just had my Lupron shot two weeks ago been doing all of this since the start of treatment that began in March of this year.

Was having numerous, strong calf and ankle muscle cramps. A marathon running nurse suggested magnesium 500mg and that worked for me. Suggest you also consult with your Dr. before trying this to be sure it doesn't conflict with your other medications. Hang in there.
