Very true Barry, nothing has really changed yet even though I have tried paracetamol and Tamsulosin at varying times daily but nothing noted yet.

It is also a good thing to have additional info on both tablets which can be adapted for each circumstance, I am sure those that are commenting are doing so as part of the conversation and I must admit I did not know that about enlarged prostates etc and unless it was mentioned I would possibly have taken advice that did not apply.

Thanks once again everyone for the input, I am persevering with it all.

Regards Chris/Woody

Just a quick update regarding paracetamol tablets, I have taken two tablets with my Tamsulosin tablet at eight pm for the last three nights and have only had to get up two times each night ( I get up at 6-00 am most days for work) so I am thinking that it is a bit of a result!!

Long may it continue..it's great to be having so much sleep!.

Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you and your OH's, let's extract some positives over the holiday..relax on the worrying and pick up where we left of in the New Year.

Regards Chris/Woody and my OH Debb.

Are the paracetamols still having a benefit?

Hi Pierre, not sure what to make of the pill taking as generally it has helped (3-4 times each night) with a few lapses but am pleased with results so far. Last night I had 5 hours before I went to the loo and only got up twice in total.

Looking forward to 2016 if it carries on like this.

Best wishes and happy new year

Thanks! Glad it is working for you.

I get by with (mostly) not going at night but I will store this away for the future just in case!

Happy New Year to All!

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year.

I guess like many of you I have a had a few days of eating all the wrong foods (Normally I try to stick th Jane Plant, but over Christmas it has been meat, cheese, chocolates and sweeties) and a few evenings of drinking stronger stuff than Green Tea (Santa brought bottles of Whiskey and Rum)

It doesn't seem to have done me any harm on the urinary front, I am still urged occasionally, I still get up during the night, but I have to say that it doesn't sting so much, so 10 months after HDR Brachytherapy there is a glimmer of hope that the radiation cystitis is past its peak, and a couple of glasses of the hard stuff seem to help me sleep longer through the night.

Happy new year Dave, I have found that foods do not bother me at all but having a drink after 6-00 in the eve does so try to stay off liquids. I do not drink alcohol anyway so this time of year makes no difference.

Glad you have found a way to stay asleep good excuse to say it is for medicinal purposes lol.

I will keep on the paracetamols and Tamsulosin.. Woopeeedoooo!!

Best wishes, Chris/Woody

Just a general update on my Tamsulosin tablets to say that I take them at 6-00pm each evening and the urology nurse has put me on Solifenacin 5mg tablets, I have been on them for two weeks now and my nightly visits to the loo seem to be fixed at three times per night so my sleep is better than it has been for several years.

The nurse said that Solifenacin should stop my bladder having spasms and if there are no problems with them affecting me I can take 10 mgs to give me a better flow.

Looking forward to even longer sleep times..YAY!!

Regards to everyone, Chris/Woody
