DEAR ABBY: This is something I can’t talk about in my grief support group. I’m a 70-year-old widow. I lost my dear husband of 35 years 17 months ago. I always was more sexual than he was. Since the funeral, I have had a one-night stand with a nice younger man, but it was a […]

Testosterone treatment reserved for men with symptoms
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 70-year-old male. I receive testosterone injections (in the butt) from my provider every three weeks, and have been receiving these injections for roughly five years.

Family cycle of abuse is legacy of sexual predator

Is color a sign of infection in nasal secretions?
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m almost 84, and all my life I have had a problem with sinusitis. Never headaches, just post-nasal drip and use of multiple tissues.

Tips for applying testosterone gel
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 84-year-old male. I recently switched from testosterone patches to AndroGel. My testosterone levels have gone up considerably, and I have seen some improvement in my erectile dysfunction. I suspect just a little more testosterone might get me a usable erection. My physician said to rub the gel into my […]
Tribute to mother causes disagreement
DEAR ABBY: My mom passed away two years ago. Because she was cremated, there is no grave site to pay tribute to her. She lived in Rhode Island; I live in Florida. My roommate’s mother passed last year, and she was buried here in Florida. On Mother’s Day, I wanted to pay respects to both […]
