Garland, I am not a stick, and that is probably why I thought that I couldn’t have have a problem with this. It is supposed to help and I suppose at least it gives me extra padding when I fall down.
( but I agree about the balance- it is also good to tighten your core. I started using a wobble board at the gym & it was so much fun I bought one for home.

[Study:</a> Older Men Want Sex More Than Older Women Do - TIME](<a href=“http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1970975,00.html#ixzz0i7pDZqwS]Study:”>http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1970975,00.html#ixzz0i7pDZqwS)</p>
<p>I think I read something about how it keeps your hormone levels up :)</p>
<p>I’m certainly not the first person to point out with respect to that study that it’s hardly a surprise that older men want sex more than older women, given that older men are far more likely than older women to have a partner to want to have sex with. Not only because women live longer, but because of the propensity of men to be interested in women younger than themselves, with the age gap increasing the older the men get.</p>
<p>but youthful appearance isn’t the only motivation to have sex-I know that indicators of health/youth propel our RNA to be interested in people who appear to be good candidates for gene replication- but I am sure I don’t have to remind you that physical affection isn’t just for as Dr. Frank N. Furter would put it * relieving tension*

<p>Perhaps given their shorter lifespan, guys feel they have to do more with the time they have left. ;)</p>
<p>Deleted. Subject already covered.</p>
<p>Blankmind, that’s as good an explanation as any, lol.</p>
<p>erm- perhaps if the males were not so intent on spreading their “life force” hither and yon, they would live longer.

<p>Actually, I am hoping some day MY DH needs ED medication - then we will go dancing, antiquing, and relaxing in a tub while watching the sunset. THAT looks like a lot of fun. I am assuming that’s what happens when the boys take those meds??</p>
<p>I am hoping that someday the doctors will say that colonoscopies are bad for you.</p>
<p>Colonoscopies are the only cancer preventative tool proven to lower death from that particular cancer. The prep is just nasty. However, you can use Miralax for the prep. Miralax unlike the other stuff is tasteless.</p>
<p>Since the conversation had taken a little turn toward the testosterone & since someone on Facebook mentioned this show- I thought a link would be informative!

<p>( I am sure they will do the colon next week)</p>
<p>Hilarious – did you look at the video?</p>
<p>Nova10, that is great if you want to look for cancer but all I wanted was to get over a stomach “flu”. My son also saw a doctor for stomach flu and they recommended a colonoscopy! We refused.</p>
<p>My mother in her 80’s has taken Fosomax and a lot of other things for her bones. The medicine worked for her.</p>
<p>My grandpa died from colon cancer- not a nice way to go- but does your son have risk factors shyanne?
It isn’t my experience that Drs here overtreat, and oftimes, even if the patient feels they are at risk, either the Dr or the ins will refuse the procedure.</p>
<p>However, when I thought I should maybe have a bone scan ( to bring it back on topic), even though I am fairly active, still having regular periods and have a healthy diet- my Dr agreed.
When the results came back that I do have osteoporosis though, she just told me to come back in three months.
I have no idea what she expects to have happened by that time.
I have never broken anything, yet I am fairly uncoordinated- and something that makes my bones stronger/but more brittle, makes me apprehensive.
Since I do landscaping / a lot of outdoor activity, I may be more active ( I hope) , than most 80 year olds- although when my 95 year old neighbor was only 80, * she was* pretty active. ;)</p>
<p>Absolutely no history of colon cancer in the family.</p>
<p>ek4, your doc probably wants to make sure your first bone scan was real – not a fluke of some sort – and, assuming it was real, to see how fast your bones are changing.</p>
<p>They probably thought your stomach “flu” was an ulcer or something like that. Colonoscopies are not fun.</p>
