Peggy's Mundane Thread

Taking grandchildren out to Devonport Park for picnic lunch.

framed a picture

After a couple of days spent snorkelling I now have mild vertigo again, have to buy some decent ear plugs.

Spooky. Spent last week snorkelling and mrs tooks kids to Demport park yesterday for a picnic.

Have an urge to frame a picture for completion

5 days off from tomorrow, and it's going to piss down every day. Great. I love British the summer.

Been to the gym today. Enjoy playing cricket and football with wife and grandson yesterday at Devonport Park

Just 20.

Back from Exeshitter

In the last twelve months or so, it has come to my attention that I'm having to get up in the night for a piss with alarming regularity. What is more annoying is that I don't have any sort of urgent call of nature situation during the day. But I could almost put my mortgage on the fact that I will wake usually between 3 and 4am needing a wee. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a diabetes thing - I'm not dying of thirst and pissing like a shire horse constantly etc. It's just that one solitary necessity of getting up in the middle of the night that's leaving me mildly miffed.

The main reason I raise this point is that I saw an advert today for these...

Now they ain't cheap. £20 for a three-a-day 20 day supply. But I'm seriously considering giving them a go to see if they work.

Any other 40-plus ATDers tried them? Or have any suggestions? (Other than the obvious 'don't drink in the evenings')

It's bladder cancer and I think you're going to die. I have the same and haven't got long left.

Most older men have an enlarging prostate that causes those night time symptoms. It's common. Go to your GP, get a PSA blood test and a digital exam    to check out for worse prostate scenarios. If an enlarged prostate is suspected and maybe felt during the exam, there is a prescription drug that can be effective apparently, but it takes a while to have effect and does have side effects.
Oh, and don't drink in the evening. Alcohol, caffeine can irritate the situation.

Duly noted, Mr H.

I think its an age thing bhey, just lately i've started to go for two pisses a night!! i went to the well man clinic at the health centre had blood pressure cholestral weight diet bloodtest etc everything was fine, when i mentioned the pissing saga all the nurse said was dont drink before you go to bed, but it makes no difference! its a small thing on the grand scale of things but still a pain in the arse.

I agree with John, go to your GP.

This pissing in the night issue is quite interesting, my last drink is about 16-30hrs but I'm still up between 3 and 4 for one, Thursday night I had my nightly one, got back in bed and out again in 30 mins when one if them flexible water supply pipes broke off, flooded the fecking bathroom and it was mopping and more pissing for the rest of the night !
