Hi, can anyone give me advice on how you feel in the first month of taking prostap? My husband has his first injection next Monday, and at the start of June we are hoping to drive to Devon/Cornwall to visit friends. It’s a three to four hour drive, but we can stop and take breaks. Having read the NHS guidelines on the side effects we are wondering if it might be too much. He’s particularly concerned about trouble sleeping while on the medication and whether he’s going to be too exhausted to drive and to enjoy himself over the weekend. Nothing strenuous is planned. I think the break away from home and a bit of sea air will be good for both of us, as well as seeing our friends.
I appreciate everyone is different but It would be good to hear real life experiences of how people felt.
many thanks.
Hello Porthleven
I have been on HT for over 4 years. Never had a day off work (I do drive a desk and computer). I am self employed and work from home, when I have been tired the dog gets an extra walk. I have had every side effect and some not even listed (see my journey for details).
I am 70, the year before last we had a holiday in the south of France and I drove both ways without an issue. we have a villa in Turkey and fly out there 3/4 times a year, without any issues.
The side effects creep up on you and the two you are guaranteed are fatigue and ED - but there's a work round to everything and I haven't found it as bad as some folk.
Take it one step at a time and you will both be fine.
Best wishes - Brian.
