Getting Old...
|
|
Lads, peeing once a night isn't great, twice is an inconvenience, 3 times is a fooking nightmare!
'Enlarged Prostate' they tell me, now on Tamurex tabs, anyone else on these? Do they work?
Come on chaps, it's good to talk......

Just had standard long distance lens. It's fantastic that you can have a long in one eye and a close in the other. The brain sorts it all out so no glasses required at all.
I had PVD in both eyes resulting in detached, torn retinas and the 'jelly' removed. This made the cataract surgery very complicated. Thankfully the NHS came up trumps once again. I could quite easily have been blind now.

You can easily live a healthy lifestyle in the UK - just lay off the processed/fast foods and your pleasures in moderation.
You wanna binge drink/snort the white stuff? Up to you. Nobody's barking orders at you. Some might be barking mad, but not barking orders.
Fresh food's dead easy to buy and cook - especially with a slow/pressure cooker.

I guessed that someone would bite but it's true Eerie.
I can't offer ray advice on his problem because unusually for my geriatric age (according to WHO) I don't have a prostrate problem, don't pee 3 times a night nor do I take any pills of any sort.
Healthy living on the Mediterranean mate.

Cheers, sounds like you had enhanced lens inserted. I was offered them , but opted for neutral lenses as my natural vision used to be just -3.5 in both eyes, so I only need glasses for driving.
Eye is still a bit sore, but the unbelievable eye drop regime is helping. Only concern is that I can see the tear they made in my cornea, hopefully it just heals up in time. Hopefully before I have my other eye done in a few weeks

Tamsulosin will relax muscles in the pelvic area making it easier to pee, so you should be able to get more out per visit to the loo.
It has also been found to reduce nocturnal urine production so hopefully, successful treatment will reduce the need to pee so much at night.
Happy to point you in the direction of more info if wanted.

I'm confused on this one.
People are talking about Tamsulosin as a medicine to reduce the number of times you have to get up to go to the loo, but it's main function is to increase the flow of urine and can lead to frequent urination. I was prescribed it when I suffered from kidney stones

Ray,
Tamsulosin brought me a lot of relief in the early period of my personal prostate journey. Took about 7 days to start working.
Same here, been on Tamsulosin for about 2 years, but unfortunately the impact is now wearing off and back to pissing a couple of times in the night.
Im 57, but have had an enlarged prostate for over 25 years but only started getting night time symptoms about three years ago.
Word of advice, if you go onto these meds still make sure you have periodic PSA and prostate examinations to make sure there's nothing developing in the background.

Be aware that neither the finger probe nor the PSA test are definitive for prostate cancer.

Arthritis in the lower back is getting worse as I age.
Had to start wearing reading glasses in mid 40’s and now in my 50’s it’s my bones starting to show signs of aging. Some grey hair but not too much though. Skin still looks young though.
Other than that I’m pretty healthy, still wake up with the occasional boner too. Although the Nutsack is starting to hang low.

Rio.
Had both cataracts done last year (aged 68) after 60 years of dreadful short-sightedness, thick glasses and contact lens. It's was the most miraculous thing I've ever experienced (apart from children). Colours more vivid and able to drive in the dark. Still need reading bins but fantastic long distance vision.

You are a heart attack waiting to happen.

Swap the jam jar for a motorhome, you will be able to drive for more than a couple of hours before needing to stop for a piss, that's why all coffin dodgers drive motorhomes. Perfect for kerbcrawling picking up old brasses.

I was disturbed recently to learn that the Stadium Pal is a very real product.
Whilst I can easily appreciate the benefits, I feel that buying one would be one of those defining moments in life that would not be a happy one.

When I'm at home, I get a really strong urge to piss and have to go straight away. When I go to the match I never get the urge to go and there are too many stairs anyway and I don't go until I get home. as I can't be bothered queueing for the bogs after a match

Consider what you drink of an evening. I sometimes get up three times a night, but that's when I've drunk umpteen cups of tea in the evening.
