Apalutamide side effects

I have been on apalutamide for 8 weeks now and the side effects are leveling off. I am feeling less fatigue and the head cold and runny nose is now gone. My memory is much better and the hot flashes are lessening with a little help from Megace. I go in for my next Lupron shot on the 18th of December. I am curious how I will respond. After 10 years they have become non-events. This could be a change in side effects.

I have been on Erleada for 7 months and hot flashes have diminished quite a bit. Still dealing with runny nose especially when working out. A little brain fog but that could be from the Eligard that I have been on for 18 months..

Thank you for the response. This is a strange journey. Today I awoke to the room spinning and feeling less stable when walking. I hope that this passes soon.

Well today I had more vertigo and it made me fall in the bathroom and I hit my head on the bathtub. After 4 hours in the ER it was determined that I did not have a bleed on my brain and I am back to walking with my hiking poles. My PSA has dropped from 4.27 in June to .4 last week. My doctor was impressed
