Metastatic Prostate Cancer - Hormone Therapy

I've been on Goserelin (Zoladex) for about 5 weeks now. I've read so many stories about side effects ie Hot fushes, bone pain, ER, lethargy etc etc. Am I normal for not getting any of these? I still walk 20-30 miles each week with no issues. I am awaiting next steps, chemo and possibly spot radiotherapy so I suspect things may change?

    I’m six weeks in. My sleep is disrupted. I have low energy and feel tired or fatigued most of the time. Also get hot flashes st least daily and my libido is AWOL. It’s both worse than I hoped and less bad than I feared. Still working full-time and grateful for that as a motivator.
