I am becoming a medical marvel and a walking target for EVERYTHING OLD. A support group for OLD AGE might be helpful. ANY TAKERS OUT THERE??????

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

And IF you did not find there what You were looking for then maybe we can start a group here or in the area the Mentor suggests where we can exchange info and insights that help us keep in the close-to-optimal form. I will start with Eating Well, forms of Physical Activity, and how we manage Stress, and some ways of Social Engagement, all leading to the feeling: I did my near-best to make my today the best possible.

I got up today thinking it would be great to be able to talk to other folks in the same aged boat about doofus stuff that bothers me but doesn't rise to the level of making a doctor appointment (like why can't I taste anything recently -- I'd hate to learn in 10 years there was a fix I didn't know about). My other thing is an honest discussion of modern medical care -- I get surveys, but they never ask the questions I want to answer.
