I've now been on Relugolix hormone tablets and tamsulosin, peeing in the night as diff improved , and so as my flow I've been on tamsulosin for about 5 weeks now, and Relugolix for 13 days, the side effects have been just hot flushes not bad but they have ease off a bit, or maybe it was the hot weather,however over the week, now I ve been going out for walk twice a day in total iam doing about 5k, I m not sure if that as help me or not, considering what I been reading it's normally after 2 weeks side effects really kick in,so I might be barking up the wrong tree at mo.but least walking might prepare a bit
Hi Cfc
Keep up that walking - it works! I am on Triplet therapy (Double HT + Chemo) and even when I have felt really not like it at all I make myself get out and have a walk. The benefits are definitely there, and the more you do the better you will feel. I would say that the effects do take a little while to kick in, and the more you do before they do.....
The hot flushes seem to hit me a little while after a meal, but not for long. Night time ones just come on when the do - and the duvet just gets pushed off! I have a small USB charged handheld fan by the bed for when I get too uncomfortable.
All the best
