I hope so! I am 53 and really feeling my weight lately. It’s affecting my health in so many ways, and I can’t find winter dress boots that fit my thick ankles and calves :( I have an appointment in January to talk to my doctor. My family has diabetes on both sides so I’m going to end up with...

The only people who see me naked are my husband, my doctor and my three boyfriends.

Now this thread has me all rather hot and bothered! I swoon when I see an older man dressed in a very good quality suit. Doesn’t matter so much what the man looks like, it’s more about the suit. 💕

Oh look at all that cake! And balloons and sparkles! Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I had a lovely birthday.

Yes. One is a cousin of mine and her husband. :(

No. Can’t comment on the rest, but I am 51.

I feel the same. I don’t know why but as I’ve aged I’ve become difficult I guess I would call it. In my 20’s living in a large city I had so many social friends. Now I have my husband and that’s about it. I’ve had women try and befriend me but with the pandemic I just couldn’t keep up. I have...

Update: talked to my specialist on Wednesday and he is trying to get my scope moved up so we can find out why my symptoms are worsening. Still not worried but it would be nice to know what’s going on. I don’t mind the colonoscopy, I always lose a few lbs :)

I’ve been spending WAY too much time on screens in the last year. It was a problem before Covid, but now I’m finding myself browsing on my screen over reading books! I love reading books! Hopefully in a few weeks when the garden takes up more of my time it will cut into my screen time. Right now...

I was on prednisone eye drops for inflammation in my eyeballs and had to have cataract surgery in my 40’s. :( But I’m glad I had the surgery, I don’t need glasses except to read fine print now. But still it was a shock to be 45 and have cataracts!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I’m wondering if I would be better off with a bag. My medications have helped (at one point I had diarrhea 50 x’s a day - I would go then even before I could get back to my chair I had to go again!!) now I go a few times a day but I can’t go out for a long walk...

Both our health plans covered the lenses. I hope yours does as well. Cheaper than one pair of glasses so you would hope they would cover the lenses.

I have Crohns disease, diagnosed in 2004. Where I am you can get a colonoscopy done every three years. My last one was in 2018 so I am due again later this year. Doctor already has requested it be scheduled due to pandemic delays. Last time they found one polyp that was benign, but I know once...

I had both eyes done in the summer of 2019. I was in my 40's but had bad cataracts because of some eye drops I was on long term to reduce the swelling in my eye balls which was the result of my crohn's disease. My whole body is one big inflammation flare up. I was scared to death but the...

Its not really a lockdown, although I know it’s a term everyone recognizes so people use it. It’s a stay at home order. Similar but we can still go out for certain things and can still go shopping inside stores for essentials. It’s scheduled to last until the end of April here but could be...
