Years ago I use to bust my wife's chops because she couldn't read smaller print and would ask me to read it for her. Past few years my vision has gotten worse and I now need reading glasses and nee to call one of my kids to read small print to me. Karmas a bitch. I've also developed gout (didn't know what it was initially) and could stand to lose 20-30 pounds as I sit behind a desk 8-10 hours a day in addition to about 3 hour round trip commute on train. Thought I would start a thread for members to share what health problems they've faced, what they've done to address, what doctors they would or would not recommend and if they were happy or regret doing what they did. All too often I think men don't like talking or discussing subjects such as this. Whether it be addressing our own mortality, concerns of being made fun / light of or an issue with our male pride that we aren't as healthy / good as we once were. So I thought by sharing some of our experiences in a somewhat anonymous manner perhaps we could help one another gain insight to what has worked and who has helped you with health issues. My gout, obviously eating healtier and excercing would help. I also take a prescription (anti-inflammatory) when have bad flare ups. For my vision I went to an eye doctor for first time in well over 30 years. Got reading glasses. Have considered lasik surgery as vision has gotten a little worse. Has anyone had lasik done? Are you happy with results, who did you use and would you rcommend them or do again if had to. Are you happy with results?
