Avatar n tn Every once in a while my partner can't ejaculate. He's in his late 60's. Works 7 days a week and 12 hour days. Would it be that he's just too tired to finish?

867582 tn?1311627397 I glad you have moved your numbers up. My Endocrinologist is wanting mine to be in the 60's, even though normal in above 30. I have had major improvements in my symptoms, but I am still not 100%. From the studies I have read it can take 12 months or more of maintaining a good level to feel "back to normal" whatever that is. Keep up the good work. I am glad that your treatment choices worked out for you.
572651 tn?1530999357 I had seen this writing before, love it, and concur fully!! And it is going to get worse for seniors because the mood in this country is increasingly Marxist: If you're not useful, we don't need you. No matter that seniors have already helped build this country in their younger years, no matter - if they can't produce now, they are expendable. That increasingly is the attitude of our govt.
Avatar m tn There are physicians that specialize in the care of seniors, usually beginning at 55. They are called Gerontologist. I have seen them preform near miracles in our senior population. I encourage you to have your mom evaluated by one. Check his or her credentials on line. Like in all specialties there are good and not so good ones. I'm sorry I cannot provide you with a specific name. I know they are out there.
Avatar f tn The campaign says Obama is willing to work with anyone who has good ideas about long-term care, and that Medicaid and Medicare will continue working to help seniors who want to stay in their own homes, instead of going into nursing facilities. But Novelli said paying for long-term care remains a huge problem for middle-class elders and their families. Obama "may have to punt, they may not want to go there," said Novelli. "But, yes, as a society we've got to go there.

Avatar f tn For several years I have experienced joint pains in my hips, knees, shoulders... But I just can't get to the bottom of it with the drs. I was sent to a physio who was quite rude to me, telling me that my symptoms were stress related and I was imagining it. So the burning pains which drive me to despair are imaginary are they? I notice that these symptoms are worse in cold weather. More recently though, I have developed a lot of numbness and tingling in my arms and hands...
Avatar f tn The guidelines keep changing a bit. Seniors had a higher allowed blood pressure number that was considered okay than they do now. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/reading-the-new-blood-pressure-guidelines This article is helpful at looking at all people and blood pressure targets.
Avatar f tn s been longer than a year since your cat last saw a vet, she really needs to be seen. Cats need an exam once a year and seniors may need to visit a vet every 6 months.
611067 tn?1458591483 Dont forget what they have proposed in the health care bill, do you think that seniors will live a long healthy life in OBamacare ,if its going the Brit way trust me there are many shocks ahead..rationing is a real thing, I have relatives in England that do not get immediate operations, because they are too old like over 65 ,, they wait in pain for a year or two, ...by the way there is a huge shortage of Doctors here, ....all will be stood in lines to see one .
Avatar m tn My mother-in-law, who is 86, has some dementia and is addicted to wine. I mean really addicted. She was drinking 3 bottles an day starting at 10:00 in the morning. If she doesn't have it, she goes nuts. The doctor wants us to wean her off and we've gotten her down to 2, but we are going nuts. Does any one know how it feels when you crave alcohol and can't have. We feel terrible, but she gets really drunk and drinks all night. We don't know how to handle it.
1816210 tn?1327354884 Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm wondering if you have thought of getting a walker to aid in your exercises. I have a 93 yr old who fractured her hip back in Sep; she's currently in an assisted living facility and we have home health coming in to do PT and OT with her. A good share of the exercises she does are with the use of a walker, which gives her support and stability. She uses the walker for much more than just walking.
Avatar f tn Last June I had a sudden a sudden loss of use in my left leg and severe pain when trying to walk. Orthopedic surgeon assigned PT which I did for four months with no improvement. Pain Dr gave me two epidurals neither worked. My GP told me laminectomy multi level would be “risky”. I am beginning chriopratic but too soon to tell. Pain doctor would like to install a battery powered neeve pain killer. I am otherwise healthy. I seek comments from any seniors who have had a similar situation.

Avatar m tn Please take your sister to a gastroenterologist with experience in treating liver disease. He will assist your sister in making the proper treatment decisions.
Avatar m tn It realistically more and more seems to be the only answer especially during this time with all the mediscare going on and the medicaid that will be cut as well for seniors in nursing homes and home health care and the like. I am a member of AARP. I do not carry my auto insurance thru them as it is higher than what I have.
