Fuck, I'm getting old

[Never Compromised]

Went to the doctor for my quarterly diabetic check.

Suddenly, I'm gaining weight and my blood sugar sucks. My cholesterol is almost normal, but my thyroid is in the basement. Retest of the thyroid confirms I have a problem.

Ultrasound and X-rays today, change in diet being suggested and if I check back as shitty again, more damn pills and a greater chance of not being able to get it up.

This getting old is for the birds.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Weight gain can be attributed to the thyroid not working right. If you do have an issue with you thyroid and need to get it removed, the only long term issue is that you'll need to take a little thyroid hormone replacement pill daily. That won't really affect your daily life and hobbying.

I realized I was getting old and that it was a creeping gradual process, it started years ago when my kid sister made a couple of comments,

The first was when she asked if it was true that Paul MCartney actually had another band before Wings, followed a few months later by a brand new group with a new album , Fleetwood MAc Rumours.

Then I realized it was all down hill

Acid rock became acid reflux

Donnie Osmond is a grandfather, for gods sake when will it all end.........


Oh Ya when you wake up on the wrong side of the lawn until then htere is generally something to look forward to........................

To the OP...

I fight getting old with everything I got! Eat properly, exercise daily, have sex a lot, these 3 things will really aid in fighting the aging process! Also learn not to sweat the little things... stressing about shit that matters not, goes a long way in reducing stress. (Apparently so does talking like Yoda! **WTF**)

Fleetwood MAc Rumours.

Awesome album. know it word for word... Stevie Nicks! MMMMMmmmmm Nudge, nudge, wink, wink... Say no more!

Excellent line by someone named "landscaper"

Eat plenty of fibre and less carb will slow the rise in blood sugar in addition to lots of excercise. I mix 1/3 of flax seed, 1/3 of oat bran and 1/3 of fibre powder and drink three times a day a tsp each time. Yes and cut down on the red meat as well and snack on fruits instead of other stuff...

You are right sir! Getting old sucks but the alternative is even worse (to the best of my knowledge).

Hey Bro...I have exactly the same symptoms. My doctor ( new one by the way ) laughed at what my old thyroid prescription was and really bumped it up. Asked if I was tired a lot, which I am and said no wonder.
Sex though no problem..iF I can stay awake..lol

Some don't stay around long enough to get old.

Remember in high school you looked at anyone in their 30's as old. Now think about it. If a 35 year old chick came on to me I'd jump for joy, or at least think about jumping her.

What's Joy got to do with it... she quit! And Many have thought about THAT! But she's only 21... I don't get it?

Must be "old fart" humour us young guys don't understand...

The Joy you refer to must have been before my time here on TERB. We all have one or two in our time.

Hmmmmmmm! ................... oh sorry, flashback. It might be the meds not doing their job. Nurse Joy was not 21, or so she said, but the candy stripes on her uni' kinda confused me. .............. a dream sequence folks, honest.

Your Thyroid should be re-checed every 3-6 months.

Alot of people just figure they take the pill and your fine. Re-testing always needs to be done as your levels change as you age.

Weight, and fatigue are hugh with thyroid conditions as well senestivity to cold/hot, cramping in muscles, rashes even.

Depression can be linked to it as well. When your body feels like crap all the time, and you feel tired allthe time, you lose motivation etc. Depression can set in.

High protien, low carb. You should have fiber, protien, & veggies/fruit with every meal. Smaller meals but more often and atleast 10 glasses of water, or 5-500ml bottles of water.

Cardio of 30 minutes 3 times a week.

No smoking, limited drinking. All the normal stuff.

You will get back to normal soon, but it is a bit of change, a pain in the ass and it sucks when you want that greese filled cheesburger, but health is more important.

I personally think thyroid issues are a medical industry scam. It really does nothing. Anyone want to shed some light on this?

Now we all know your secret to this:

Getting "old" is easy once you know how its done! ;-)

10 glasses of water a day, I'd be spending most of my day in the Loo or at least behind a tree.
