Lupron Headache

Have not posted out here for a while. Since I was last here there have been a couple of changes in my life (retired as of January 6) and my disease. My PSA had crept up to 7.5 after a vacation form Casodex and my oncologist started me on Lupron (a one mont trial). In that one month my PSA dropped to 1.5! I just received my second (3 month) Lupron Injection on Tuesday and so far no hot flashes, but I have a headache that I attribute to the Lupron. So far the retirement is great and I am as happy as I can be with the progression of my disease. Hope all are doing well. Keep up the good fight.

Okay, over one week post
Lupron injection and the headaches continue. I contacted my oncologist and she says it is unusual, but not unheard of. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, my BP is slightly up.

No side effects until about 4 weeks after the first shot. Headache then for a couple of weeks that turned into the "fuzzy head" feeling I have now. All the rest came too, hot flashes, aches/pains, no libido. Actually lost about 8 lbs going through SRT and upping my gym workouts all while on Lupron.

Exercise is the only thing that has helped me with the Lupron SE's. The more the better. I cut and split wood this time of year so I'm getting about 3 hours of daily strenuous activity with that and the gym. I feel the best while doing it and for hours afterwards. Really helps with the joint pain and fuzzy head.
