5. I also, but I've had a 2 hour bladder alarm for 50 years now.

In my middle 20s I complained to my doctor about having to pee so often. He did all the tests and somberly came to me and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that you have TB". "TB???" "Yes", he said, "Tiny Bladder". And I've had that diagnosis reconfirmed twice over the decades. Fortunately I easily go right back to sleep at night except when I decide to check DU which fortunately is usually in the early morning than the middle of the night.
Sadly, the news these days is not encouraging.
