Well, I'm not a drinker, not a drop, probably partially the problem, coming from the Badger, I've seen the effects of alcohol 1st hand. I'm a big talker, and if push comes to shove, I'll go in for treatment, but it's a line I don't want to cross, and they'll surely remember me. ( see avatar)
In a somewhat related story, a neighbor man who is 80, had trouble with getting up at night to pee. He went in for a procedure where they inject formaldehyde into the tally wacker( GOOD GOD), and he claims it stopped the nightly treks. I don't know about that one, formaldehyde is a highly toxic substance, and be a nice day in the Badger before they did that to me,,being as negative a person you ever shall meet, I say, they are "experimenting" on this 80 year old guy 1st, I mean, after all, he's 80,,,

When I had surgery on my prostate so I could pee right again, they sent samples of the trimmings in to a lab. they found a small amount of cancer. So my urologist did a biopsy where they took 12 samples from my prostate. One of those showed cancer, a very non-aggressive type. Doctor said that the results did not justify surgery or radiation at that time. Did another six months later. Both time I did a PSA blood draw a week before the biopsy. All of that gave them a baseline and now I do a PSA every six months a week before my appointment with my doc. As long as my PSA stays around the same level, no other action is needed. But the fact that I have even that small amount of cancer in me is always there at the back of my mind.
Chinatown, Numb, '88K100 and 1 other person Thank this. -
My friend is in that identical situation. He gave me a graphic description of the biopsy procedure.
he’s opting not having surgery as in your case not currently necessaryhope not dumb twucker Thanks this. -
I was pulling reefers at the time, so sleep was critical, when I had some hours available for that. Problem was, I couldn't get proper sleep because I had to get up so many times.
I've had people scoff at me and say, "Aww, that's a placebo and doesn't really work." Well, it worked for me and several other truckers I know. My father-in-law is the same age I am, and it worked for him also. He uses the same that I posted, the 3600mg. Yeah, I send him a years supply once a year. -
What did the native American guy, Jake give Burt Munro in The Worlds fastest Indian movie? Ground up dog balls, and according to Hollywood, it worked.Last edited: Mar 17, 2025
