check your blood glucose levels as well as your prostate - how is your vision?

Poor for years. No real change. Regularly checked

Does anyone know how to stop your balls sticking to your leg when you’re just relaxing in your dressing gown after a shower. I know a pair of undercrackers would do the job but I’m in my own house so it’s my rules and I always go commando

Lots of different health problems, but all manageable with a daily cocktail of pills.
6 for diabetes, 2 for high blood pressure and 1 for an underactive thyroid.

At 43 I now own a trimmer for nose and ear hair and one for rogue eyebrow hairs. I'm going grey at an alarming rate, which is making it harder to hide my Irish chin. After my commute, which involves around an hour of walking in work shoes each day, my knees are absolutely killing me. Middle age spread is becoming a problem - whilst I can lose the weight my body shape has changed. I suffer from ulcerative colitis which is requiring ever greater medical attention and makes me increasingly tired. Eyesight is getting more challenging. I've always worn glasses and next eye test I'm sure I'll get reading glasses.

The loss of youth is a weird psychological head-flip. So much promise and enthusiasm potentially wasted, so many decisions have become chains. There's never enough time and the time life has for me is now dwindling. I was always a good looking, charming boy and I can now see the looks coming to an end, which is going to be a weird adaptation to make. I still got propositioned twice in the past year by colleagues in their 20s but at my age that's now awkward, not flattering.

Hopefully not everything will continue to go downhill so fast. The GOT forum and the legends that reside here give me hope!

Kinell mate, feel like I need a therapist after this.

Just tac it on to the weekly ptsd sessions required from reading the transfer thread.

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.

Probably just an enlarged prostate but go to GP. They'll give you a tablet to ease the flow as it were.

Does your bladder ever improve with age? I long for a full nights sleep without waking up for a piss.

 

[Tim's tourettes]

Id say so. I didn't have the guts to go to Turkey, the idea of it all etc, so went the Liver Buildings (fully recommend), about £3k overall.

Ive never been tempted (nearly 47 and thinned out a bit) but only as I didn't fancy Turkey and thought over here was around 10k! If u tell me you are now a Fellani lookalike then I'm on my way to the Liver buildings!

I think the answer to that is no. Just sayin' from experience. My nights these days is 5-6 hours, tossing and turning 2, and pissing 1

….i think it’s a bit more than that but it’s certainly part of the equation. I’ve never been a sweet or a cake eater, my cholesterol is actually very low but family genes have a defect that clogs arteries and the statins apparently help.

Was just switched to Rosuvastatin from Atorvastatin because it was causing too much weakness in my legs...felt like I'd just done max squat reps all the time in my knees and around my ankles...horrible side affect. The condition of my kidneys may have exacerbated it but Christ it sucked.

….i’ve been on Atorvastatin for years with no side-effects but my sister also struggled on it.

Yeah, I've never had any side-affects or allergies to/from a medication before in my life so I blamed it on my kidney disease. Stopped taking it for 2 days (which you're not supposed to do apparently but I'm male-dumb) after reading about poss affects and bingo. So glad to be rid of it. At a leggy 6'2.5", having wobbly legs is something terrible.

I did the same switch , had really bad insomnia and constipation with Atorvastatin after a week of taking it.
