I have had wonderful control lately except when I stand. People think my back has gone out on me or they are very concerned when I get up. I feel like a gallon has come out but if I check it has been just a little. I do the kegals before I get up but to no avail. I start to stand up and I have to stop, then I can stand up a little more then stop? it takes me about 3 different levels of standing and about 2 minutes? rolleyes but when I check not much has come out. Of course I do not way it . Also the pop and caffeine has made a difference cry On weekends I will let myself have some when we go out to eat but I notice that I have more leakage then. Or have to Pee more. I have got more and more power back.

Just takes time my friend. Why don't you sgn up for the GFMPH retreat and we'll talk about it ?

Tim, when I was going through the period of going dry, as per my dr's instrucitions, I did not drink anything with caffine, no fruit juices, no beer or wine, or anything carbonated. He said all of them irratate the bladder wall and make it harder to become continent. I faithfully followed that for about a month and I think it did help.

Timmy77,

If you are noticing any improvement at all, that is a good thing! Be patient.

Greetings, Timmy.  Progress is progress and that is a good thing.  It does take time.  Like others have said, I avoided caffiene for a few weeks and it sure seemed to be a factor in helping me.  I know it is hard, but it takes time and patience.  Let us know how it's going.  David

Tim,

We are starting to talk about what we tell our spouses and others when we feel the urge to purcahse something or do something that will help us through the issues of PCa.

Just tell them that you read it is Good For Men's Prostate Health. Some guys are getting pretty creative with this phrase.

Worried guy is hosting a weekend at his place near Rochester NY on Sept 25 for any one on this forum who wants to come. We figure it will be GFMPH to come and relax for a weekend with some other guys who are experiencing the same problems we are. Good food, bon fires, camping, etc. See the thread for more info.

Hope you can make it !

Timmy,
I discovered if I phase any request as "I heard that xxxx is Good For Mens Prostate Health" my wife will agree to it.

Me: "I heard that eating all the brownie edges in the pan is GFMPH." Her: "I'll bake brownies."
Me: "I heard that relaxing at the beach is GFMPH". "Shall I pack a lunch for you?"
Me: "I heard a week at Colin's place in Thailand is GFMPH." "Shall I book tickets for you."
I even bought a Leupold VX-II rifle scope because it was GFMPH.

Goodlife and I figure this retreat is GFMPH. It will certainly be entertaining.

Hi Jeff did she say whether it would be a return ticket or not

Colin,
Now that you mention it, I don't recall hearing her say anything about return...
I heard real estate is very reasonable. Can anyone use an engineer? (A shaved engineer!)

Most people want a high pressure engineer. How many inches of H20 are you up to now ?

Jeff On the Real estate side I am having a 180 sq mtr house built on a 1 acre site for about $90000 all in including grade "A" materials (20% cheaper for normal grade) and furniture but your big problem would be the engineering side the things that I have seen here (being an engineer myself) I am so glad that I have retired but I have not seen inside any factory units

But I an sure a visit would do you the world of good you could always bring your wife with you but then avoid Pattaya if you ever want to come back again on your own

I think we should all chip in a few bucks and build our own GFMPH Retreat. We can hold classes there, invite guest speakers, provide educational services. Establish it as a non-profit 501 and write off our trips as a deduction.

Just thinking about this is causing a warm glow of tumescence. Oh! Never mind. It was just pee... Sigh...

We'll pass the plate around the bonfire.
