Title: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors SOLD OUT (well ended up going) Post by: smashedagain on March 13, 2012, 02:43:06 PM On my things to do list from my wife today is go to the Doctors. She has highlighted 2 things that need sorting out.
1. Snoring- Over the passed couple of years it has got worse and worse. It is that loud that she is having trouble getting to sleep before me and she claims that i often stop breathing for long periods (in before anyone says not long enough). 2. Taking a dump- Everytime i eat anything i need to go for a dump within about ten minutes and sometimes half way through a meal. This has been the case for about 5 years since i returned from a visit ti a mate in the Gambia. Me being me i just assumed it was a neat party trick. Would anyone else be overly concerned?

Neither of those problems seem to be anything that I can see any reason to be wary of asking about anyway so I don't get it?

Yeah that's one of my concerns as well as the possibility of a video camera. Will end up going coz the wife says I have to Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: smashedagain on March 13, 2012, 04:55:42 PM how does your snoring mean she is having trouble getting to sleep before you? do you snore whilst awake? Explained it a bit wrong. She likes to read a book in bed so if I fall asleep before her then the problems start. Tried going to bed an hour after her but I like to end the day with a bit of a cuddle so now I will watch skygo with my headphones on or do blonde whilst she spoons meTitle: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: redsimon on March 13, 2012, 05:10:12 PM how does your snoring mean she is having trouble getting to sleep before you? do you snore whilst awake?

The other issue, if its going str8 through you the food runny u should see doc, might be the same thing that a certain man utd footballer got just milder version. Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: Machka on March 13, 2012, 05:44:14 PM I'd only be concerned if you started doing both at the same time.

Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: outragous76 on March 13, 2012, 06:06:15 PM It is hilarious that you are prepared to tell an entire community of your problem but not go and have a quiet chat with the doctor
Maybe this is just your way of forcing yourself to go, if so good, get gone! Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: AndrewT on March 13, 2012, 06:35:13 PM Get Dingdell to rinse out your shitter.
Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: the sicilian on March 13, 2012, 06:38:53 PM Get Dingdell to rinse out your shitter. then have a colonic... Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: Dingdell on March 13, 2012, 06:39:06 PM Normally the doc will give anti-biotics or anti spasmodics (or both) to start then tell you to come back in a week/2 weeks if the symptoms have not improved. They are not normally too concerned unless you are seeing blood in your poo. Please be aware that the anti spasmodics are (obv) designed to stop the spasms you are having - but you do need the peristalsis movement in the bowel to move poo round the sytem and mix it all up to make proper poo - so ideally you don't want to be on these for too long.
The problem is that the anti spasmodics may stop you rushing to the loo but it doesn't tell you why it is happening so be insistent that you want to know why. They may also ask for blood tests to check for infection - do ask specifically to be tested for Giardia as this is a common infection from travelling but is also passed along via animals. If it does come to it and you need a colonoscopy it's unlikely that they will suggest that first off, they will normally try other means before booking you in for the camera. If you are really nervous about it ask for a mild sedation but, although it feels wierd, it doesn't really hurt. You just feel like your bowel is full of air. Lastly, in my experience, the first diagnosis will often be IBS or food intolerances. Even if he does try to suggest this I recommend you push for the blood tests to check for infection. I have 6 doctors who refer their patients to me because they know they haven't got IBS, they need info and guidance and the doc hasn't got the time or resources to help the patient with the detail they need. Once you've been to see the doc feel free to contact me if you need further info. Can't help with the snoring though ;-) Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: Dingdell on March 13, 2012, 06:39:45 PM Get Dingdell to rinse out your shitter. then have a colonic...

And I thought I was scared of going to the docs! Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: smashedagain on March 13, 2012, 06:44:52 PM Thanks for the advice all noted.
The problem has never bothered me in the slightest I have no pain and if it was not for the wife I would still just be carrying on as normal Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: Delboy on March 13, 2012, 06:51:21 PM For the poo stuff, do what Tracey says.
fr the snoring try this (http://www.cimg.in/images/2010/05/18/36/5309539_20100517131_large.jpg) My wife says it helps with my snoring Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: Delboy on March 13, 2012, 06:55:21 PM Also, with the snoring:
Do you find that you wake up feeling tired after what would seem to be ample sleep? if so, you should tell the doctor about the breaks in your breathing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: the sicilian on March 13, 2012, 07:01:20 PM Get Dingdell to rinse out your shitter. then have a colonic...

It is a bit crazy that i cant or dont want to visit the doctor but am willing to share this with a public forum. might get my head tested while i'm there.

Very nice female doctor listened to my chest and took my blood pressure.
Gotta have some blood tests, heart monitor and a physical and return back for results April 4th. In the mean time I have to keep a diary on everything, take a prescribe tablet (for IBS I think) and go through a load of sheets on snoring. All points to being old, unfit and over weight to me. On the bright side she says she will have to stick her hand up my bum next time. I do hope she meant just a finger :( Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: AndrewT on March 23, 2012, 10:26:05 AM On the bright side she says she will have to stick her hand up my bum next time.

Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: MintTrav on March 23, 2012, 08:26:21 PM A finger in the bum will probably cure both of them. Prescient. Personally, I think you should ignore the situation a bit longer. Most people are going along fine til they go to the doctor. Then he finds something wrong with them that they never knew they had and didn't bother them til he told them about it. Title: Re: Middle aged men dont like going to the doctors and i probably am not going to Post by: smashedagain on March 26, 2012, 11:47:27 AM Yeah I like the above comment. It's a bit like going to the dentist. The only time I seem to get any toothache is just after they have had a poke around in there.
Just been for an ECG scan which came back fine and clear. Am a bit suprised because my heart was racing. the nurse was quite fit and I could see her bra through a gap in the buttons when she lent over to cliometrics up. Another thing I've noticed since I turned 40 is that I assume all women that are obv way out of my league must fancy me. Is this standard behaviour too.

As for the finger examination I never actually realised she had done it and was over in seconds. All seemed ok but she has given me some tablets for IBS from the first appointment. She seemed a bit upset that I had not started taking em so must do that. I hate taking pills especially when I feel fine.
