Greetings,
I have noticed that many people have to get up several times in the night to
void, once I have got into bed and finally get to sleep, I normally do not
need to go until the morning.
If I stay in bed longer than normal I don't get the urge to go, but as soon
as I get out of bed, I have to go, then again and again!
I wonder if any others have noticed this?
With respect to my request for PVP, the primary care trust who will fund
this are meeting again in the new year after they have received a response
from my GP, to consider whether they are allowing me to go ahead or not.
I hope everyone has had a nice Christmas and are looking forward to a
healthier New Year!!

Signature
Regards,
Peter

Peter,
As I have posted here before, that was my experience before PVP.
But then my breakfast consists of a mug of tea and a large bowl
of cereal swimming in milk, i.e. loads of fluids.
I could also do my regular 400 mile round trip with the only
stop at the 200 mile mark. I'd be swigging coca cola most of the
time too as I find it helps keep me awake.
Post PVP I do have to get up at night. But I am finding I
usually have a late night mug of tea which I would not have had
before. What goes in, must come out!
The clincher for me with my struggles to get PVP on the NHS were
copies of postings from this group. Hope you have good news
soon.

Be very sure to point out to them that Kings College Hospital has been able
to make a huge reduction in bed numbers in Urology because they no longer
have a load of men with retention blocking the beds for weeks on end
.......instead they are treated fast with PVP
The cost savings to the NHS are thus huge
Your PCP only has to verify this via Gordon Muir or Kings College Hospital
Urology Chiefs
