Hello,

The headaches should go away in a few months. The fatigue will remain. Try taking the four Xtandi (enzalutamide) pills just before bed time.

Fatigue for as long as med and then a little longer. Exercise helps.

BTW everyone says exercise helps during med. Never managed that with fatigue. Afterwards yes but not during.

Hot flash for a few days.

Vision problem on and off for weeks. But no headache

Confusion. Memory loss. Daily life can be difficult, even dangerous at times without help. For example simple daily routine like shopping if you need to drive on your own.

I can second that, exercise within reason. As much as you can. What a difference.
