Can you describe what your body is going to feed like when you know you're getting old?

[sage2021]

Ok, I am old so I can say this. My knee joints would hurt like hell after work. We had a lot of stairs I had to climb everyday at work, and I ended up with tendonitis. OUCH! I could hear my joints grind together. Grrrrr! Doctor to stop climbing stairs and take the elevator, no bike riding, no climbing steep hills.
Funny, after I moved to a warmer climate and did climb stairs any longer must have healed them up! No more painful grinder. Use

I'm not sure what you're asking. If it weren't for the edema and a little excess weight, I'd still feel like I was in my 20's or 30's! If Bob was still alive and wanted to put the band back together, I'd be ready to go right now!
grandma Daisy was in pretty good shape until a few years before she died at 94. She drove to Fla. every winter and back up north in the spring! She did that until she was maybe 90, 92 years old. I never knew my grandfather, he died just before I was born. Grandma Anne was still quite spry up until the day she died, Dec. 23rd, 1999 at the age of 89. She just turned 89 almost 2 months before. She WAS using a cane sometimes, her last few years but, even though she had several strokes, you'd never even know it! I seem to recall hearing she had one in her 70's, before I even knew what that meant but, I had no idea she had a few of them until a couple years ago.
Her hubby died in the late `80's of a heart attack. I'm not sure how old he was, possibly his early `80's.
Dad died 17 years ago (18, this Jan.) from cancer. He had tiny spots of it all over his body. He didn't even know it! Up until about 2 months after is 82nd b-day, he would leave the house every morning after coffee and walk up river 11, maybe 12 miles, eat lunch and catch a bus back. Some days, he'd go across the bridge next to our house and then take another one back over to our side of the river adding at least another mile to the trip. Some days, he'd ride the bus up and walk back.
When they found the cancer, they gave him 3 WEEKS to live. He lasted 3 MONTHS! At the funeral, some of his friends asked how old he was. When they found out he was 82, they couldn't believe he was more than 62!!
Mom died 7 years ago. She DID GET cancer but that's not what killed her, I cured that myself!! (When dad died, I looked up cure on the computer and that's how I learned about them! I wish I'd have thought of doing that before he died, he might still be alive!!) What started the ball rolling for her was a stroke she had about 10 years ago. She had cancer at the time but wasn't sure. she was gonna get tests when she had the stroke. Her stroke Dr. told her has cancer and that he can take care of it (cut it out) right now but, she'd lose the use of her left arm, the stroke already took her right. So, she wanted to wait `til her right got better. By that time, she had huge welts of cancer all over her chest and back and, it had eaten thousands of pinholes into the bone in her leg so, they had to put a rod in her leg. After about a year or two, the bone they connected it to rotted away and she couldn't walk anymore. Being in a chair of some sort 24/7 caused a saddle sore on her as so, they made her stay in bed `til that got better but, she only lasted another 2 or 3 weeks before she completely withered away. She did 6 days after my b-day. 3 weeks after my cousin died. She was also 82 going on 83.
Dad's brother, Wally, was 93 when he died from a staph infection he got in the hospital on a routine check-up on his pace maker. Mom went to visit him in the hospital a day or so before he died and said he was singing Italian operas to her in full voice!!
Aunt Anna died about 3 weeks before she turned 100!! Had her fucking kids left her the fuck alone, she WOULD'VE made it well PAST 100!! She lived a block down the street from us and would take care of that huge house by herself, cooked extravagant meals and would take very brisk walks by herself every day!! Except for macular degeneration, she had NOTHING wrong with her and never set foot in a hospital her entire life for any kind of ailment!! She wanted to stay in that house where her hubby (dad's oldest brother, Edwin) died a decade or two before but her fucking kids forced her into a nursing home where SHE withered away and died 3 years later!!
As far as I'm concerned, you're only as old as you think/tell yourself you are! I hear people in their 30's and 40's saying they're too old for this or that!! FUCK YOU!! Get your fucking shit together and DO IT!!

I am very interested in Wally's staph infection.
My boyfriend has about 5 sores on his right arm that wouldn't heal!!! They drove him crazy, literally! They would itch so bad real deep too. The itching and the pain never stopped. He used to get his tools and dig into them to get them to stop itching. He went to the VA hospital twice and took a bottle of antibiotics. They didn't do a thing. One of them in particular had a bad odor to it. He hated that. He thought if he went to the dermatologist again, that the were going to cut off his arm if they saw it again. He spent hours a day cleaning it and kept it clean and dry. If I was looking for him, I'd find him in the bathroom. Sometimes he would carve at them there would be blood all over everything in the bathroom.
He said he had biopsies performed, but I think he was lying. They said he had a staph aureus infection. But it would never heal. Maybe it drove him out of his mind because the itching would just never stop!
What is your opinion?

[FunkyMonkee]

I've never heard of anything like that! I don't know what to tell you except that doctors don't seem to know shit about their own professions. I would say, see if you can find MMS, it's supposed to be able to cure anything! I've even heard of someone that took it and it re-grew missing teeth! And, if you can find any, let me know! I've been looking for it for about a decade!! They say you can get it at Wal-Mart, Amazon, art stores, swimming pool dealers, places that sell camping equipment, etc. but, I've looked in ALL those places and haven't seen ANY of it!! You're SUPPOSED to be able to get it online! "Look how EASY it was for us to find it!" they say! But, when I look for it, it's NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!! Apparently, my only other option is to go to Africa and find the guy that invented it and buy it straight from him!!
Otherwise, I'd have you try to look up, "How to cure a staph infection" on YT and see if anything comes up. Maybe Dr. Peter Glidden can tell you.

Every joint hurts to some degree. You cannot move the way you used to. You start to struggle with tasks that you could once easily do and if you get hurt it takes longer to recover. Maybe you vision is getting blurry or maybe your hearing is not as sharp as it was. It just really sucks.

This is pretty sad...
When I bend down to get the milk out of the fridge, it hurts my back soooo bad, I take 800mg ibuprofen and lay down for a while. Seriously! It's funny 🤭 but it's not at the same time.🛏️💊

Thanks for the MHO😎

[TrueConfection]

I have 2 fingers that I suspect have arthritis. They hurt at the knuckle and there is enough inflammation that my usual ring won't fit (still fits the same finger on the other hand).

My kids seem to think my age is old. They mention it a lot, but then tell me how much older their friends' parents seem. That's a compliment I suppose?

I worry that if I forget something, it will now be blamed on my age rather than a "brain fart".

There is a reason why there are no pro athletes over the age of 50

[Andres77]

Shark cartilage capsules, turmeric capsules and magnetic bracelets help minimize the pain

The bracelets don’t work for everyone but if you are one of the fortunate for whom it does work, then it will be like a miracle.

[sage2021]

@Andres77
Thanks for the hot tip!

[Andres77]

Hope they help. That combination has helped me stay in shape, exercising closer to what I used to be able to do

[Likes2drive]

Well I imagine my back won’t feel any better but everything else will be the same, nothing else seems to hurt and I’m jumping in and out of trucks all day long

Feed like? Probably tapioca pudding.
