The big 60th Birthday 😭

[Cazbarcarole]

Hiya , before I turned 60 I felt like 50yrs old. What the heck happened to my body I don't know because I now feel 74years old. I have arthritis in both knees and it's starting in my s. I can feel fluid in the top of my arms and around my knees. I've been on Thyroxin for 12 months now, Started at 25mg now I'm on 150 and not sure if it's doing anything for. I used to walk all over the place, now it takes all my time getting up and down my stairs at home. Around the same time I was diagnosed with Barrett's and put on Lansoprazole and some how a parasite found it's way into my intestine. Hey ho to getting older but still not old enough for my pension lol .Rant over.😁☕

It’s sooo much more difficult. I found that after 50 the tide started to turn and I couldn’t fit into my dresses comfortably.

I’m now doing what worked for a friend of mine. She just halved her portions on her plate.

The thing is though, we put on weight more easily as we age and that then goes full circle because it prevents us walking, exercising etc.

Good luck,
