I have wrinkles, I have grey hair, I have back problems, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, I can’t remember anything, the world seems confusing and complicated to me now and I wish things were simpler (which is why I like Lemmy). I definitely don’t get kids today or their music.

How am I so old?

    I have back problems, high cholesterol, high blood pressure

    As someone who waited way, way, way too long too lose weight, let me recommend that you review your situation with a doctor.

    I’ve lost significant weight in my 50s and it’s completely turned my health around. Cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, almost every indicator was dangerously of whack. I was on a boatload of medications, it was doing jack squat.

    Now I get tested and everything is where it’s supposed to be. I’m down to small maintenance doses for blood pressure and triglycerides, and I’m off the diabetes medical entirely.

    I don’t know if weight it a problem for you, but if it is: you can get it under control.
