I got tired of feeling this way, so now I’m on my third week of following an uber healthy diet (I do have cheat days occasionally, because c’mon, I need to have fun), and for the past few months I’ve been drinking a lot of green tea, peppermint tea, chamomile tea and other herbal teas, as they’re said to be very healthy. I also try to exercise for at least 15-20 minutes a day, and I get a few minutes in the sun when I can. (One only needs about 20 minutes of sunlight per day.) Also, my ideal is 7-8 hours of sleep a night.
I think it’s actually working! I don’t have so many random aches and pains, my eyesight seems to be improving (well, even if not, I keep putting off the visit to the optometrist, anyway), and my skin is starting to glow. I lost a few pounds too; my current goal is to build muscle. So yeah, I look more like a living person than the walking dead now. (I think.)
I do still struggle with fluctuating energy levels. Not sure how to combat this issue.
Yeah for me once I hit about 42 years of age > I just feel like im deteriorating. Like I am getting slower and have less energy and My enthusiasm for life is weening.
Oh well. I wonder if I will make it to 50
i like to answer that but my jaw is falling off!! yyyeeessss iii knnnoow wwhhaat yyoouu mmeannn!
yep i’m falling apart! right now i’m trying to put myself back together, it’s working, but it’s a losing battle, you only can use so much bailing wire before you all bailing wire.
YES! I’m on the downhill now, and I can keep fighting, but it will take increasingly more and more effort. And all that’ll do is slow the gradual slip into oblivion. I can never get back up. Never.
Depressingly, our optimal age is around 25. From that age, we gradually start losing everything. We usually don’t notice until a long, long time after. But it’s slow and insidious. In theory, I could still feel great and full of energy. I’m still under 40. But thanks to chronic disease, I feel like I’m 70. So, really, no matter what I do (and believe me, I’ve tried), it’s not gonna make a hell of a lot of difference.
Exactly. I was at top of my game when i was 18 years old. From that time, its just going down even when I made a lot of good things and got better from time to time. If you don’t target the true cause, it will always find you no matter how healthy or positive you go.
their putting shots in my back july 8th because i have severe arthritis, ain’t that some shit! i move around fine perhaps a bit moaning and gowning when nobody’s looking, but it’s and attempt to slow things down.
i’m having all my teeth fixed almost done with that, crowns, bridges, again anything to keep from losing them, i’m patching myself up, getting ready for the next 10 years in case i stick around.

Yes, I can relate
Yeah. Rough patch. I kind of know I brought it on myself through cowardice. But still.
Yup…

P.S. Forgot to mention: jasmine tea is my favorite, and ginger tea is very good too. Plenty of health benefits.

Peripheral neuropathy sux.

oblivion… being oblivious means you have no idea what’s going on around you. Glad you learned a new word 🙂

How old are you, rocketman? I’m lucky I’ve had no dental issues. But then they might all come at me at once.
Stasis sucks worse.
