Spuduknow  im on decapeptyl hormone therapy, i also have fatigue and flushes, just learning to deal with it. Can be awkward with working

Working with the side affects must be difficult, do you have any special ways of dealing with this or has your employer helped in any way ? 

My hot flushes seem to have settled down at the moment, but do still catch me unawares at times.

Same goes with the fatigue, it just descends on you sometimes when you least expect it.

At the moment I’m suffering from Neuropathy and my feet especially one are numb all the time.

The nerves are damaged and it may or may not go away.

Keeping my feet warm helps greatly.

This is mainly due to the Chemotherapy but could also be my blood sugars are raised due to my Prostap hormone injections.

Always here for a chat.

Take care and Stay safe

Hi Spud, In some respects due to COVID I’ve been working from home, my commute has been 10 minutes to the spare room. I struggled last year quite a bit emotionalLy but am on antidepressants now which seems to have evened out my emotions.

fatigue can be a big issue, helped by wfh, also not drinking during a working week, red wine seems to trigger night sweats, still enjoy it though.  Regular sleep patterns accepting I need more sleep helps

flushes seem to have died down a bit, unless I’ve just got used to them,  still catch me occasionally especially after drinking,
