Side effects right after Lupron shot

[Heykm01]

I received my second Lupron shot earlier this week. I’m getting side effects - fatigue, frequent urination that I experienced for the first couple of weeks after the first shot, but then dissipated.

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced similar - more intense SE’s right after the shot.

Maybe it’s all in my head. . .

Welcome to the club.....

Sounds about right, if you don't already, start working out, it will help with fatigue and help with muscle loss

[Heykm01 in reply to mrscruffy]

thanks. Yes working out and staying active. Had been doing pretty good until this most recent shot

Try Claritin

[runtrails in reply to Tall_Allen]

What S.E. was the Claritin for?

[Tall_Allen in reply to runtrails]

Reaction to Lipton.

Yes Lupron & casodex were my first treatments & the SE were so bad I never went back to them. These days taking Firmagon with a minimum of SE, just fatigue & hot flushes.

Exercise seems to be the best & most important medicine.

My first shot of Lupron had few side effects other than a loss of sexual interest. I did not have hot flashes, or did not notice them. The 2nd shot toward the end of my radiation therapy increased my fatigue. I had diligently gone to the gym, but the increasing fatigue ended that. I needed a daily nap during weeks 5 to 8 of RT and for a few weeks after RT ended. The worst SE were bladder spasms probably due to the RT. Several episodes were extremely painful and made urinating difficult. The meds helped a bit, but a heating pad on my junk and finally urinating were more effective in soothing the spasms. As I regained my energy, I added more exercise, toned up my muscles and the fatigue lessened. My advice: give yourself time to recover and heal.

Good luck on your journey.

Yup. Very similar for me.

I get the "lupron flu" a few days after my shot. Exhausted, can't get out of bed and generally achy all over for about 24 hours. Then back & better than ever. I get 6 months shots.

[Heykm01]

Thanks Mine probably lasted 2-3 days
