TOPIC: Your body: what works/doesn't work ?

Eye sight for reading is on the way out and my right ankle gives me jip if i run for sustained periods but touch wood apart fom that im pretty sound .

Sciatica is a scurge for me but the cycling keeps it at bay most of the time

I had a bout earlier this year. Could barely walk.2 x 1000mg co codamol twice a day. Only did it once. Spaced out at work, office gan round in circles.

Titanium joints holding my right shoulder to the muscles in my arm, and the same for my left knee (to my thigh muscle) and I'm under 30 year old. Cheers to my rugby union career for Lancashire when I was young

Im 47 now need glasses for distance but that distance is getting closer would like them lasered

I have arthritis in right ankle and big toes and get jip with both knees I think it spread however I still gym it most days trained since 16 although have had to adapt due to arthritis

Doesn't help being on my feet all day and the govt want me to walk the landings till 67 lol

Zebby wrote: Probably not much point getting them lasered at that age mate. It doesn't prevent the need for reading glasses and another thing that they check is that your eyesight isn't getting worse because what happens is you'll get the treatment but because your eyesight is degenerating progressively the effects of the treatment won't last long at all.

It's all working perfectly apart from those useless hair follicles I inherited.

I'm the only person my doctor knows who has low blood pressure and suffers from blood clots. When it was diagnosed the Russians put me on a course of leeches (I promise that is true), best treatment I ever had. I have gout as well

Ive had the flu for the last 5 days, everything aches and still feel as weak as watter! Will reassess what still works in a day or two!

Normally specs for reading, crushed vertebrae in back and a slightlty dodgy knee!

Eyesight poor, hearing just about OK, bad back and neck since I damaged it lifting a telly when I was 18. 61 now and my fingers are starting to go. Other than that I seem to be holding up. Good genes so I should go on for a bit.

Oh, but if I drop dead today and anyone's offered my liver, RUN LIKE FUCK.

44 and good for now.

Amazing that as you grow older, the medics seem to want you to loose weight by constantly chopping bits out of you.
I myself have had 4 ops to remove skin cancers, and so has my wife. However as we chose to live in the sunshine capital of the world, I suppose we deserve that. My wife had a cancer cut from her nose, so to rebuild her snout, they removed and transplanted parts of her ear. The only problem with this is I now have to yell up her nose when I want anything..
Ok. Me blood pressure and nexium
My wife. Blood pressure .
The funny thing us that I actually feel exactly the same as I did years ago. Although I must accept that I am far more intolerant towards child and wife abuse.

I don't get to many games anymore so come on here to get an idea of how we're playing, who's good, who's useless.

Might come on less now that I know most of you can't see properly!

Bit like me im 42 and good for nowt!!!

I.m 57 and have suffered from type 2 diabetes [ controlled by medication ] and all that goes with it for the last 12 years

Some things getting worse but most aspects seem stable and luckily to date havnt been affected by the more serious associated problems

Eh... Well I am back in the UK for this weeks match. Probably the last match I will ever see with United, so would like to say thanks to a Club which has given me immense pleasure over the years, well since 1955 , and I don't give a shit about directors, politics, lousy managers etc. Etc. Over the years I have supported Carlisle United... Not those who run, organise, and generally provide very little to the future. Saturday Arvo was my afternoon, Brunton Park, where else would you be, so thanks to all those over the years who have provide me with pleasure. Players like Paddy Watters, Terry Caldwell, Stan Harland, Willie Carlin, who combined have given me a lifetime of memories, so this week end I will attend a match of no importance, but pay my final respect to a great Club who represent what a true lifetime of support is all about

I'm 58. My long sight started deteriorating in my 20s, then started improving when I turned 50 and now I need reading glasses. I have hearing aids but never use them. I'm about 2 stone over weight. Otherwise A1.

I'm 29.

Everything is fine, never experienced a bad back or any joint problems. Had a few broken bones from football but that's about it. Eyesight is perfect. Hearing is perfect. Can still get it up.

But I have a wisdom tooth that is being a right c**t!!

My brain although i've a high IQ and good with number, logic and problem solving, can i grasp language NO!. Doesn't matter how many times i'm told I just cannot grasp spelling and different meanings of words there, there and have and of. I was diagnosed with autism at a young age and it was correct at the time as i was an odd child lol had only specialist interests and i would freeze when speaking to people, definitely improved now . I've always wondered if i have some sort of dyslexia though as i just can't grasp it.

I have lupus which causes all sorts of weird and wonderful issues. swollen joints, fluid on lungs and destruction of saliva glands. Thankfully it managed ok by medication and no issues, touch wood, for a long time. I have had issues with anxiety, addiction and panic attacks in the past again no issues now but can sympathize and its why i praised Claire for talking about it as not a lot of men talk about these issues.

I can only assume your are jealous, (or your accounts been hacked)

Mid fifties - my age and IQ identical. Can multi-task - get dressed and talk at the same time. Blood pressure OK - except when United leading by 1 goal and the match official puts 4 minutes added time on the board.

I'm 34 years old and still have a baby tooth.

I've had this constant nagging in my ear for about 10 years. I think it's called MRF syndrome.
