side effects

Hello Mike (mike3561) 

Give it time - explore the options - yes it's a side effect and yes you've had it bad - one of the side effects of Prostate Cancer nearly killed me, so once you've had 10 days in hospital with this cancer then you can join me!! .

You've been advised by me Sage Tablets work for many people - have you tried them yet and given them a chance to get in your system? You also had advice about Medroxyprogesterone, have you spoken to your GP about this?

Your body takes time to adjust to medication - and the changes they bring so if you are thinking of speaking to your GP - ask him about Calcium and Vitamin C Tablets as the Hormone therapy can weaken your bone structure - You are also at risk of growing a pair of "moobs" (I have a cracking pair of 38DDs ) so you might as well ask about medication - Tamoxifen too.

i really thinking of stopping this lunatic ride  i'm on  with this medication. 

The alternative isn't too great - I can assure you - since I have been a Community Champion I have been to 3 funerals for friends - 2 from this Community so you need to think very seriously about that statement.

We are here to help you - I could be watching the football now or out with my mates for a beer - I do this because I want to help people get through what I am going through. You need to think long and hard and take advice.

Best wishes - Brian.

Mike,

My good friend had your experience with the flushes on Orgyovix. He had some success in reducing them greatly with acupuncture (in the ears) ... maybe worth a try?

Hi Brian,

 thanks for your reply.  burning face is  the major thing now,    non stop.  will it calm down?  

re:Medroxyprgesterone. my gp as given me gabapentin, not recieved  it yet only 

hopefully monday.  i believe the medrox one is not suitable for me.

the advise i was given by a doctor over  the phone 111  was to stop it.
