Went the loo when I went to bed. Woke up middle of the night and went, then went again when I woke up at half 7.. it's beyond a joke! Didn't have a drink yesterday after about 7:30pm either..

Another one for me is needing reading glasses. It's driving me mad now because it's a new thing. Seems to be getting worse week by week..

I increased the text size slightly on my phone which should be handy! However it doesn't work correctly on this site...🤣🤣 It picks random threads to increase the size for!

No back issues suggests you’re short.

That has been my secret weapon - never had a day of back pain! exception was when the Dr prescribed Statins for my cholesterol and i could not exercise for the back pain. Even at the lowest doses I cant tolerate it. Its not a bad thing, I suspect they'll figure out Statins are causing dementia some day soon.

Yeah, I gave in and bought reading glasses that I only need for small text (phone and some books). Wore them for an hour or two reading a new book and it feels like my eyes are getting tire when I'm not using them.

Turns out my parents were right and that I'd eventually go blind if I kept doing.....that.

cod liver oil gels. Which brand is best for strength and value? Also, some repeat like crazy on the stomach.

Does anyone else have a regimen of over the counter supplements to keep old age a little further away?

Just seen this (ironically), I too have recently started wearing glasses for reading/phone/computer at work. I was finding it more difficult focusing on reading emails so visited my opticians, he was really good and instead of milking me for ££££’s he told me to go Home bargain and buy a cheap pair of readers as my prescription wasn’t too bad, I paid £1.49 for the most game changing bit of kit of my life so far 😂😂 I can read everything now clearly…. Only downside seems to be that my sight seems to be getting worse without glasses the more I use them… it’s like putting kryptonite on superman’s eyes
