Getting Older.....Mens edition

[Joey66]

50 next year. Waking up to go to the toilet every night now. Add in that I struggle to get back to sleep after and I am shattered at work all day means being older sucks.

Get your prostrate checked ASAP...

Get your prostrate checked ASAP...

My dad had prostate cancer so I get mine checked annually.

I still wake up most nights needing a pee though so not necessarily linked all the time.

Been off work all week with a shoulder/kneck issue that came on before the game on saturday and got worse as the day went on.

Have booked a phsysio session for the end of the month as i have had kneck and shoulder issues over the last year. The impact of doing a desk based job and two young ones under two. Constant hunching over.

Use an ice pack on affected areas for 20 minutes every 4 hours buy the sports ones off e bay - see if that helps avoid hot ointments...!

Physio may aggravate it even more if it's a sprain ice will solve it far cheaper an osteopath told me that many years ago

Ice packs will work better than physio mate

No I agree but always worth checking it out as it's a killer

NAD+ for about 4 weeks now. My bathroom cycle has improved/gone back to normal but I haven't noticed any other benefits.

At 49 I'm pleased I have all in health insurance. I seem to be in constant need of a physio, sports injury specialist or a surgeon. For any youngsters out there - moderate exercise! Anything else causes long term damage.

I hit the big 5-0 this year and looking back on the previous decade there are some things/functions I've noticed have definitely deteriorated.

Fringe - Much further back than it was
Hair Growth - Nose/Ears/Shoulders/Back all grow hair quicker and in colour compared to my scalp
Recovery - After exercise or even a long hike I've started to have a 30 min nap.
Focus - I now excel at procrastination. A doom scroll can go on for hours
Memory - what was I talking about? Whats the word I'm thinking of? Who are you??
Outlook - While a very jovial character I can see the expiry date on myself and know that time is in fact not as eternal as I thought in my youth.

I know all of the above is caused by (in simplistic terms) a decrease in Testosterone and an increase in Dopamine as we grow older but are any of you taking extra supplements or planning trips to Turkey or committed to finding the fountain of youth in an effort to counteract these aging side effects?

Mid 40's here. It's sickening how fast time is passing us..

For me. Reading glasses are a necessity now.. Plus waking up every morning, stiff as a board!! (Not that way..)

I’m 69 at the end of the year, played rugby till I was near 50, still go running (went this morning) do light weight training nothing to strenuous. I work about 2/3 days a week, occasionally 4/5 days, go walking and sometimes I go out on my bike. I have 2 fears 1 being the age I am and being as active as I am I’ll just drop dead by doing to much, 2 if I ease of and start to take things easy I’ll drop dead. Just keep going the way I am I suppose.

I hit 50 in 8 weeks time, I just feel tired all the time to be honest as I’ve never been a good sleeper ….. and the only use I have for Viagra is to keep the quilt off me when I’m sunburned

I'm 34, got a hair transplant earlier this year. May or may not work, but if I didn't give it a go I'd be regretting it when I'm older. Now in terms of regular stuff I take, Minoxidil (hair growth), Multi Vits, Collagen & Biotin, Additional Protein (Vegetarian so don't get as much naturally as I should do), and finally a regular dose of CBD to help with sleep and relaxation as I'm anxious virtually every evening/night.

how are you arranging this, official or fat Tez down the dog n duck?

Don't smoke, moderate alcohol intake, regular light exercise, and a good over 50's multi vitamin-mineral supplement.

The rest is down to genetics and luck.

The good news, we will now accept you posting in the Oldies thread.
