Not to brag, but I'm 40 and have none of these, it's surprising and a bit depressing to me that so many people have these ailments at such an early age. I wish you as many pain free and healthful years as possible.
I am not one to blindly believe that life is inherently sacred without the context of death. If this is what you want, and considering your physical ailments, I can only assume I have the smallest of understandings as to why you desire it to all end. And I can only hope you find some peace in one form or another. I'm... well, at a loss at how I can express sympathy. I hope you can find some solace, though.
I acquired almost all of these due to competitive weightlifting. It was fun, but also, ouch.
I’ve had arthritis since I was like 24 or 25. It really does suck… I miss the days when I didn’t hurt constantly.
I really am so sorry to hear about that. Even though I suffer none of these ailments myself, I've witnessed my elderly parents and friends (yes, I have elderly friends) go through coping with this negative permanent change to their day to day existence, and it is heartbreaking. It is an experience I can only logically expect to one day viscerally experience myself.
I wish I could offer you more than sympathy, truly. I hope you can find some peace and joy in the probably brief reprieves from your sufferings.
Thankfully medicine gets better every day! It’s not great, but it isn’t terrible. It’s just kind of “this sucks” rather than “I hate my life”.
Thank you for your kind thoughts! 😊
I know, right? I'm 30 and only have a slight knee discomfort because I lifted heavy on squats for a long time before changing to a lower weight higher rep regimen. I hear so many people complaining about having issues and unless it's from an injury I just imagine it's because lemmy self selects for the chronically online (and usually unhealthy as fuck.)
Nice of you to assume that everybody here is chronically online and unhealthy unlike you.
