I am 75 and feeling it, I was diagnosed with Diastolic Heart Failure last year then this year was found to have COPD so getting swollen ankles and breathless, also have osteoarthritis which appears to be creeping at an alarming rate, waiting to have Ultrasound guided injections in my shoulders later this month possibly also have frozen shoulder so tend to feel like a zombie, so tired. Oh I am also being investigated for Sjogren's syndrome then last but by no means least my overactive bladder has become a lot more overactive so I now have to wear a pad at night to enable me to get to the loo without leaving a 'wee line' along the route (too much information) sorry.

So if we have to put our problems into a slot then which slot do I come under - welcome old age!!!

Hi Trownail :-)

If you haven't already tried it, I've been told that Botox is used

successfully for some bladder conditions :-) xBeryl

Hi Wobblybee (Beryl)

Thanks for your reply, I never thought of Botox so will investigate, I have an open ended appointment at the hospital for my bladder problems so may well make use of it.

Thanks once again, Gill
