You're right, as you have been for years on this subject . I am not tooting my horn , but for years I have given a short but imo precise reason why things haven't changed much. Namely, the state of mankind ; Stupid, impervious in regards to critical thinking, brainwashed into believing what the "authorities" dictate, blindly following orders so as not to face penalties or social rebuke...... pick your reason. They all apply . The social experiment that we call "mankind" has blown up and good luck ever putting it back together . We definitely are burdened by what has been . Its now up to each individual to enact whatever goodness and quality of life they can, by their own efforts . Even a very small percentage of people with money from working or inheritance ever seem to accomplish a healthy and "happy" trip through life . I have seen that more often in the poorer societies , though that is increasingly being destroyed by "Progress" into the new world order. hello, Facebook . goodbye human interaction. I still have to agree with GC's humorous truths...... though i am prone to forget once in a while and jump up and down when the cheerleading propaganda comes on and we all get caught up in making the world great again. Then you wake up..... and damn if the day and all the crap is still the same . Even worse when some headline says that some imaginary coin is now making some few into billionaires . By doing nothing . as usual... i don't remember what i am commenting on. What flavor ice cream do i like the most ? oh well .........

I am your age and also had very good results that lasted about 7 months. I had Ostenil plus .......... one shot ! Cost in Chiangmai was 9000 baht at a clinic . From what i have read the Ostenil plus has very good reviews just some info re my experience , as there are different brands of HA check on google

U.S. — Recent drone sightings across the United States are apparently nothing more than an elaborate gender reveal, Pentagon officials announced Monday. The revelation came as the lights in the sky thought to be Iranian spy drones or possibly UFOs from a galaxy far far away, suddenly formed to spell the sentence "IT'S A BOY!" "We realized it was part of an elaborate gender reveal party when the first satellite images came in," White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said. "Apparently, it's a boy. And, congrats to the happy couple." warning: this has not been fact-checked. and besides that it is some "humor" written by a friend of mine who shall remain anonymous .

All excellent points and observations, Connda ..... Unfortunately there are very very few forums where a simple "discussion" does not evolve into an egofest ..... with confirmation bias the dominant force. Modern day man is so intent on fighting battles , many without any experience of the subject other than what they read from their "trusted sources ". Wouldn't it be nice ( and possibly even rewarding) if at least some people would just let a few different ideas creep in with which to ponder ? After all..... we are all anonymous here, so nobody will know if you might actually alter an opinion or two . 🙂

Oh boy .... AN is going to have its hands full if this Forum manages to make it past the first round LOL . I SUGGEST that a Special Prosecutor, uh, i mean Moderator for this one forum might be needed to oversee the fisticuffs . ( Red Phoenix ? ) Rattlesnake would also be great, but I know that he does not have the time . Forget about Rumak , much too easily riled and prone to charging in like Mike Tyson. Could be exciting to see if the NYT, CNN, Washington Compost , and all the rest of MSM who have seen the Bud Light : alternative media is way more influential then they believed , and changes must be made .

You beat me to it Red !

Only a few minutes in, and the first wannabe dictator shows his face : "Great idea - but can some ground rules be set ? (no flat earthers / no moon-landing conspiracists / no crackpots)." Hopefully posts like that will be erased . Posts welcoming all free thinking spirits would be great . And yes.... the one main rule should be RESPECT

i think he just spilled his coffee .........🤪🤔🙃

i admit I go google crazy when looking for information. I definitely favor "user reviews" over hospital or clinic brochure information . (for obvious reasons ). I do understand that many reviews are from people not satisfied .... but still find them a good source to consider. here is the first link i clicked on : https://forum.nafc.org/threads/anyone-had-the-urolift-procedure.3477/ another very good link: https://patient.info/forums/discuss/urolift-review-682194

happy to hear you are open to the suggestion. If you click on the link it will take you right to the topic of UTI's ..... and i like to read the experiences of others, which there are many on this ailment . fwiw ..... i don't take it every day, but do take just a tbs in small glass of water before a meal from time to time. Definitely helps me when my stomach is feeling gassy . And... i don't get UTI's ( but i know your story is more complicated. nice to see you still doing best you can ! )

please don't kick me in the balls for this "suggestion" . could be worth a try , only costs 650 baht for Braggs Apple Cider . "Sooo thrilled with ACV therapy for uti. Years of struggle on antibiotics. Diluted (2) TBS in 4 oz water, am/afternoon/evening. After 1st drink, noticed pain free when voiding. Hallelujah! So I'm only into day 1 but will continue this several days then probably decrease amount to (1) teas ACV several times daily. Beyond grateful to find such a simple healthy anecdote for my uti saga!" 113 user comments on this site : https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/apple-cider-vinegar-for-bladder-infection.html

There is one poster boy here that would surely be crying to mama if they took away his emojis ........

and remember........ they might exaggerate quite a bit in their favor

don't forget the sick buffalos ..............

Most people know how to manipulate . Even young children are experts. But damn if men don't totally forget everything when that smile hits them between the eyes..... and her hand lands between his thighs

When your seventy and IF you happen to be looking for your next model ....... you just might decide that a slower ride would suit you better . or not. the thrill doing gymnastics on one of those big bikes can really be a great way to go. Most guys have their "trade off" date . But some never give in ......

Like most farangs living in Thailand... Most of those who came here at an early age (under 40) and stayed seem to learn their lessons through life experiences. Many retirees coming here after living 99% of their life as workers in the Western world , with maybe a few trips to Thailand for "fun" , easily fall for the manipulations of street smart girls with 3rd grade "education" ..... one day to end up getting screwed in a way they never expected. After that............. the road forks in a thousand ways . Depends on the man.

this is only result i got on my first google search .....https://doctor.global/results/asia/thailand/all-cities/vascular-surgery/procedures/prostatic-artery-embolization-pae

i have read one article ( actually more of an advertisement) ... from Yale . Unfortunately there is no date : https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/prostatic-artery-embolization Sure SEEMS like something to be considered . I surely doubt anyone here has had one, and don't yet know if it is offered in Thailand . I will be reading up on it some more. Thanks for posting .

maybe if the 21 year old had a 21 inch neck . seems to be a lot of those available

I understand . There once was a time that i didn't mind getting up so often at night 😎

thank you . ( sorry if my Opening Post was a little blunt... but I am really trying to get some real feedback instead of the usual quotes and links to mainstreem "news" promoted on google and other sites.) i think that there have been many good posts already

This use of natural remedies , from my experience here on AN , is only met with derision by most of the participants. No problem , as i am not trying to convince anyone. BUT...... great that you mention tomatoes ( and we can add watermelons, papayas, and some others) . Very high in lycopene which as you say has been shown to have a similar effect on the prostate as some meds. Maybe not as "potent" ... but also no bad side effects. We have been cooking tomatoes to make a nice sauce, which i recently started eating every day. Have just ordered supplements also. My symptoms have already improved a little. Might just be mind over bladder . just sayin ' anyone seriously interested PM me for a very good video on the subject

despite the published claims of low side effects .... it is my opinion from user reviews that many have issues , one of which is the one you mention. What is the exact percentage ?? i don't know . funny thing about "staying hydrated" : i was drinking a lot till recently and just the other day a Chinese "master" said that it is not true ( how many ounces, etc should one take) . Yes, i know what all the "real science" says. He says simply "drink only when you are thirsty" . Last night i hardly drank any water after 7pm ..just some sips.. and woke up only one time instead of my usual two. Now that's definitely conclusive evidence ! tongue in cheek, (AN members that look for debates )

i don't drink alcohol any longer ( would like to )........ but COFFEE really messed up my system . If i went for a drive in the morning i would be having a strong urge to pee almost immediately... then stop and have little flow... then get in car and within a short time have urgency again. Finally i stopped coffee (its the caffeine) cold turkey... and it helped a lot.
