Diabetes Talking

Question:

I’m coming off a 2-week cold.  I’ve felt fine for three days or more. Yesterday I got my Lupron Depot shot. Today, I almost feel as I will pass out.  I’ve had chills and fever.  My butt is extremely sore where the shot went in. This was my 7th shot and I have never experienced this before.  I once had a mildly sore butt… nothing else. Opinions? — Biopsy 11/01/2000 G7 (3+4), T2c RRP 12/15/2000 G7 (3+4), T3cN0M0 Neg margins PSA  .1  .1  .1  .27  .37  .75 PSA  .34 .22 .15 .21 .32 Lupron 07/03 (1 mo) 8/03 (4 mo), 12/03, 4/04, 09/04, 01/05 PSA  .07 .05 .06 .05 .08 non Illegitimi carborundum

Steve Don’t get me started on SE’s from ADT. (In this initial run, I’m up to 5/6, so 7 I haven’t experienced). Basically, your total immune system is weakened by ADT, so you need something to bolster it. Your PCP may suggest something. (one size doesn’t fit all.) The head nurse that administers the shots has told me of the "overlap" effect, which can be fairly savage for a few weeks. I’m having that now after copping one last Wed. With me, everything gravitates to my feet, due to the vascular probs I have as a spin-off from Diabetes type 2. Have you been inoculated against the major strains of ‘flu? This won’t help the common cold, but does give you some shielding. — Reader to complete… — Please reply to this ng as my email adress is fake: — Regards — CC
