Sudden aging
Hello
I am 53 caught suddenly by multitude of issues and pain that started with all body joint pain one day in age 52.
Still in the process of figuring out (some are still yet to identify thus the treatment) and managing.
It unfortunately is progressing worse and getting harder to manage to a point where I feel I may need to hire help.
I was a single professional thinking I will enjoy working to retirement age then healthy enough to enjoy some do nothing before failed health stops you.
I suppose these are what many go thru. I tried counseling and trying mindfulness but it’s still very hard and wonder sometimes when is good time to stop.
How do you or have you prepare and deal with such?
Thank you in advance.

Two years ago I joined the Mayo Clinic Diet Program.
I lost 40 pounds, and learned to be very committed to eating simple, healthy foods.
It has given me a rebirth of vitality and a real enjoyment of my body.
(And it led me to these wonderful discussions.)
Thank you very much for sharing. I really appreciate everyone’s input on this forum. Much happiness and health as well to you.

So true Ed,
The Mayo Clinic discussion group is awesome! So, glad I found it as I have been blessed and encouraged by so many wonderful people sharing of experiences and great advice.
🎉Congratulations on your weightloss.🎉
I am glad to share that I have lost 52 lbs and Beautiful Husband has lost 25 lbs. Still eating, drinking, and being merry. (Healthy foods and drinks)
Beautiful Husband has so much energy now. My God he chases me all day. 😁
We laugh, debate each other on issues, have disagreements and make up, have mini bible study, do 2-3 minute light body movements (leg lifts, light dancing) throughout the day, go for mini drives, just encouraging ourselves to keep moving around.
Even when I get lazy wanting to lounge around he say lets get up and move. I yell no! He then start messing with me and next thing you know I am being chased, 😂 and I running to get dressed. Must keep grumpiness and low motivation out the house he says. Dude...😂
Life is what you make it and happiness is a choice. The rest in God's hands.
Thanks again Ed. You always share motivational uplifting comments.
🕊️🥂🙌 Enjoy life!
