Colchicine doesn’t work for me during an attack
Indocin (Indomethacine) is the thing that magically stops an attach (almost always). Fortunately, I haven’t need to use it in years.
Just the opposite for me. That’s what makes horse races, I guess. I suspect a lot of meds should probably have an"idiopathic warning" on them. Glad you’ve been free of attacks.
Works around the world (GPS based). We were in Vienna looking for a toilet - in the main city square. The app said we were right on top of it, but we couldn’t see it. Then a guy walked up a set of steps leading to an underground basement and we thought ‘Let’s ask him’…
When I redid our downstairs bathroom, I checked out ADA regs for where to install the rails. I then installed 2x6 backing before sheet rock and tile went up. But you are definitely correct. Install them sooner than later. And do it/have it done right.
This was very helpful for me when I had to have my hip replaced years later.
The supermarket I walk to has an excellent bathroom, but the one I usually go to has a lock, and a person has to stand there because once you’ve disarmed the lock the door doesn’t lock again. It’s nutty, but I suspect it is to keep out the nut cases who hang around nearby.
Well, it’s cloth enough to count… 
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has found it necessary to map out bathroom locations.
I vote for Lowe’s Hardware. They always have their bathrooms at the front of the store, next to the cashiers. The facilities are always clean and roomy, and since Lowe’s is open early in the morning, I can have that extra cup of tea before going out to run A.M. errands, secure in the knowledge that I’ll have quick access to a loo.
That looks a lot like the series of questions that I get at each visit to Cleveland Clinic. Since I was old before I started visiting the Clinic, I do not know at what age they begin asking the questions. The last time I signed up for an MRA, the lady apologized for asking the questions, but said it was a rule at the Clinic and she was required to ask them.
(Of course I am old; I was branded as a “geezer” back when the Straight Dope was on AOL.)
It’s not so much a matter of age, as what era the medical industry began asking the “are you safe?” questions.
I don’t have the details, but it became sort of “official best practice” to ask every patient at every encounter. So all the corporate medical companies adopted the policy of demanding their workers ask the questions.
Over the past few years i have noticed my arms have acquired…
liver spots.
