Get better, Senior. I'm going through similar issues, multiple "systems" malfunctioning, and none of my VA doctors have any clue what the problems are. The word I keep hearing is "idiopathic". I don't necessarily blame them since I've always been a bit of an anomaly. Anyway, you need to slow down just a bit. I know it's difficult for us old hard-chargers to downshift, but just try it. Enough of my 2 cents. Prayers to you and Diane.
Good evening Everyone. Heading to N FL tomorrow. We have a hog tournament each year pays 2 places. Biggest and most weight aggravate .20 for each place. Daughter is coming so way better chance of some pics for the site. Always a nice time camp fills up music good food and competition. Shotgun start tomorrow at 4 runs till Saturday 9pm. Can hunt at night legally for hogs in Florida. Night system ready to go.
Hey Senior, just joined the site after years of being a youtube frog. Thats as close as i’ll come to being a Seal!
Sorry to hear about the health and balance issues. My Dad has been going through it recently, so now two men I admire are in the shit. It sucks.
He has the same issues with our healthcare system and it isn’t right. All I can say is you’re a tough smart dude and you’ll get through it with your wife at your side.
And if its a ruse to bring out more Phonies…my hat is already off sir.

Springfield, MO is bout 2 hour West of me, I been there more times than I can count and I absolutely hate being in it! it's MO's 3rd largest city and has the high crime rate to prove it! some of yall might find a few of these facts interesting, everything from Wild Bill Hickock having the Nation's 1st Quick Draw to being responsible for naming Route 66, to the site of the 1st battle of the Civil War West of the Mississippi and the 1st Union General killed in battle and cobras...
This is kind of disturbing. This Tennessee woman, who has never been to North Dakota, was "identified" by facial recognition and jailed for months in a case of mistaken identity. After having her arrested by US Marshalls and extradited to Fargo nobody bothered to investigate any further to find that she is innocent. Then they released her in Fargo, in December, and she was on her own to get back to Tennessee.

I'm sorry to hear about your health issues, and I hope they can get you some relief. I used to tell people that it wasn't the age, it was the mileage, but now it's both.
Donnie. I had exact same symptoms. I got spinal decompression. It made me a new man. We’re men, so we don’t listen. Once I got a doctor that cared, it was game on. I feel 20 years younger.
28 degree this mornin! not that 28 is really all that cold but when a feller is use to it being 20 plus degree warmer for the low, it makes a difference! I could use one of these today!
16 June 1972 Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his own life above and beyond the call of duty. G/Sgt. Howard and his 18-man platoon were occupying an observation post deep within enemy-controlled territory. Shortly after midnight, a Viet Cong force of estimated battalion size approached the Marines’ position and launched a vicious attack with small arms, automatic weapons, and mortar fire. Reacting swiftly and fearlessly in the face of the overwhelming odds, G/Sgt. Howard skillfully organized his small but determined force into a tight perimeter defense and calmly moved from position to position to direct his men’s fire. Throughout the night, during assault after assault, his courageous example and firm leadership inspired and motivated his men to withstand the unrelenting fury of the hostile fire in the seemingly hopeless situation. He constantly shouted encouragement to his men and exhibited imagination and resourcefulness in directing their return fire. When fragments of an exploding enemy grenade wounded him severely and prevented him from moving his legs, he distributed his ammunition to the remaining members of his platoon and proceeded to maintain radio communications and direct air strikes on the enemy with uncanny accuracy. At dawn, despite the fact that 5 Marines were killed and all but 1 wounded, his beleaguered platoon was still in command of its position. When evacuation helicopters approached his position, G/Sgt. Howard warned them away and called for additional air strikes and directed devastating against enemy small-arms fire and air strike automatic weapons positions in order to make the landing zone as secure as possible. Through his extraordinary courage and resolute fighting spirit, G/Sgt. Howard was largely responsible for preventing the loss of his entire platoon. His valiant leadership and courageous fighting spirit served to inspire the men of his platoon to heroic endeavor in the face of overwhelming odds and reflect the highest credit upon G/Sgt. Howard, the United States Marine Corps, and the U.S. Naval Service. #lifestyle

Down here getting to see a Specialist works a few ways but boils down to take a number, get half your money back through the public system with a referral from your Doc. Or ring the Specialist and say I pay cash and youre in the next morning. Might cost you $500 more but Docs love cash.

sciatica is the worst. It puts me down for weeks until it plays its course and I finally get back from the flare up. don't get me started on my neck aches. ugh. Hell, to get old. As my orthopedic doctor says, "the crows always come home to roost. You guys do all kind of crazy things when your young that your body keeps a tab on for old age. " Well, I've been paying that tab over the last few years.

Right there with you Don. Stenosis and arthritis in my lower back. Sucks. They want to give me cortisone shots I declined. Physical therapy was a joke, gave me some horseshit bands and stupid exercises. I have a inversion table that helps along with stretching. At 54 eventually I'll have them carve on me. Anyway hope Everyone is doing well

That referral thing will probably bite me in the ass some day. In 2022 I needed a checkup before they would do my cataracts so I went to an urgent care to get it done. They asked who my regular doctor was and I said " I guess you are". I got my eyes done and I ain't been back since.

Greetings, Don when you get to be our age the body just starts breaking down. I never used a hand rail traversing our stairs but I just feel less confident. I occasionally have sciatica but most of my issues are internal. Get the help you need, just hoping the Bureaucratic Medical Networks will partner with you. Enjoy your time everyone 👍🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Down here getting to see a Specialist works a few ways but boils down to take a number, get half your money back through the public system with a referral from your Doc. Or ring the Specialist and say I pay cash and youre in the next morning. Might cost you $500 more but Docs love cash.

Don, Hang in there and get all the health data you can get ie MRI,Ultra sound, Xrays CT scans etc.
Conventional wisdom says that balance issues are normally related to neurological issues. I think you got the right Dr to start.

sciatica is the worst. It puts me down for weeks until it plays its course and I finally get back from the flare up. don't get me started on my neck aches. ugh. Hell, to get old. As my orthopedic doctor says, "the crows always come home to roost. You guys do all kind of crazy things when your young that your body keeps a tab on for old age. " Well, I've been paying that tab over the last few years.

I suffer from occasional Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Just have to move slowly and deliberately.
I told my doctor, but he would rather talk about himself than give me any help.

Right there with you Don. Stenosis and arthritis in my lower back. Sucks. They want to give me cortisone shots I declined. Physical therapy was a joke, gave me some horseshit bands and stupid exercises. I have a inversion table that helps along with stretching. At 54 eventually I'll have them carve on me. Anyway hope Everyone is doing well

That referral thing will probably bite me in the ass some day. In 2022 I needed a checkup before they would do my cataracts so I went to an urgent care to get it done. They asked who my regular doctor was and I said " I guess you are". I got my eyes done and I ain't been back since.

Thanks for sharing your issues, Senior. Getting older does suck. I hope you get the referrals you need for further follow-up. Hopefully, it's just one or two root causes they can treat. I wish you and Diane good health for a long time. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong, and know you have lots of love and support all around you.

Greetings senior chief, I am not a doctor and I do not play one on tv but may I be so bold as to ask, have you had a mri brain scan recently? I only ask as in the nfl concussions have been the center of much discussion here lately and I can’t help but wonder if you have some delayed onset problems related to your time in service.
