I have a number of things causing me to not sleep well. I am working with doctors on them. I have the "Urgency" trips to the bathroom, the IBS, Sleep Apnea, Hiatal Hernia, and acid reflux, and allergies. I had thought that once I retired, I would get a handle on these things. Instead of that, most of these have increased. When sleeping on raised pillows to help the acid reflux, it Makes the IBS worse. I am keeping on trying things hoping to find some answers.

@maureercria Sounds like your retirement years are hard work, but I’m so glad you’re working with doctors and not trying to solve probs alone. I, too, have developed a need to go to the bathroom at night. Usually 5-6 times per night! I’ve traced the urgency to a new medicine I’ve been given—it was an IV infusion, so I can’t quit. Are you on anything new? I’ve tried cutting back on liquids in the evening, but I have to take pills and I get thirsty! Guess we just keep trying.
