MAW,
Being over 60 has been a contraindication for ADR in the US. I know the Europeans do it on older patients. When someone goes against a contraindication, the outcome is frequently poor. If you do go abroad, I would strongly encourage you to research and know why that contraindication is in place and why it should not apply to you.
Good luck, Jeff
