I switched because I now winter in florida and the MO suggested a 3 month lupron vs a 28 day firmagon shot . Wow soo happy I did testosterone dropped from 44 back down to <3 and no injection site discomfort. My psa also staying between 1.5 and 2 . Throughout my journey my psa has never been undetectable.

It may sound unrelated but Covid vaccination can cause nausea. In parallel with our APCa treatments, we (at least in principle) should get the latest vaxx boosters, shingles too. How to separate the possible side effects? Dunno. Have you tried benadryl or dramamine? (Run them by your MO first of course.)
Let me tell you how I did handle nausea the last, almost 4 years, on ADT / Zytiga + Pred.: First thing in the morning I do gymnastics: 3 min on a stationary bike, 3 min on a small trampoline, 3 min on a crosstrainer, 30 push-ups, 30 knee-bends, dumb-bell training and finally jump rope (50 times). After these exercises I can be sure there is no nausea left. Afterwards I have a shower and then breakfast. Try it, perhaps it helpsโฆ
My wife takes a boatload of meds every day and suffers from nausea. She says that Sugar free Queasy Drops really help. They are available on line. I think Amazon.
They give them out free for chemo patients at the Medical Oncologist office. This is where she first tried them. They come in various flavors and different forms from lollipops to candy size which you can put in your pocket.
