Now there are tendons & muscles missing & I too feel tension when the weather changes......pretty sure its the scar tissue reacting but Im no MD.

If anyone here feels a slight tingle in their muscle when moving something get ready to puke, pass out & see a flash of white light when it rips  :'(

dreamakuma sorry to hear such news, I am not trying to minimize your situation when I say this but perhaps you will beat the odds by eating well, being as active as you can & keeping your spirits up.

Don't be sorry to hear it. I started living a great life 3 years ago, Got ten left to enjoy. I like the life I'm living. I got cabs, a girl who loves me and helps buy the cabs, A great selection of music, and a sense of humor that is darker than most but keeps my grin. I'm in paradise :cheers:

I'm 36 and am still pissed because theres not any good cartoons on on Saturday morning anymore.

Unfortunately, except for 60's Looney Tunes, and some of the older stuff, they weren't that good, THEN. Besides, it's a different world. Cartoons are on all the time.

Here's the deal, my eyesight is now evidently 20/40 L & 20/50 R...............that makes this 30th pill a tad larger. I have a feeling my vision is actually worse (well not by much) but the copper let me slide, perhaps due to my stunning good looks  >:D  When I was younger I lived on a diet of Whey protein & adderall................perhaps that will sharpen my eyes & get me feeling younger again  >:D.

I've always been pretty fit...well, partying in high school I was probly the least fit....but, regardless, concur.

But in the end I enjoy playng now more than i was 20 (I'm a left4dead addict)
The only thing that i really miss is headbanging at the heavy metal gigs, I started shave my head at 24 when i gave up fighting baldness and  i just swtched guitar hero from Dave Mustaine to Kerry King, when you're bald headbang is not the same thing.

Taint true. I never had long long hair, have had very short hair since leaving high school, and always banged hard. Actually, when I got into death metal, I developed my own style that was rhythm and percussion texture dependent.

I was 30 recently too...on Friday 13th :p

Oh well, happens to the best of them!

--- End quote ---

Boy, I hear that, except my ole body waited till 34 to give me one - it happened just over a year ago.  Still am unable to type two-handed and my walk isn't what it used to be, but I get around OK and I'm still able to work(computer programmer by trade).  Do they know what caused yours?  The tell me mine was caused by a PFO(www.pfodoctor.org), which I've since had repaired and my Dr tells me my risk of having a second one is about the same as a "normal" person having a first one.  It's still been a heckuva deal recovering from though.

Thanks for letting me interrupt this otherwise wonderful discussion on getting older ;D

Jesus people strokes before 30?  Wow...

Well PinballWizard I dont really want to hear it about turning 30 either.  I turned 32 in December and between my wife, my job and my daughter, I've probably aged about 15 years in the last 3.  My wife isnt wholeheartedly supportive of my hobby, bitches about my hours at work (she's lucky shes hot) and my daughter apparently is genetically altered in some way so that she does not require any sleep - something my wife needs at least 9 solid hours of every night to feel "normal".

If I was single and childless (not that I would give up my daughter for anything - we are speaking hypothetically here) I would be doing exactly what you seem to be doing these days, devoting time to arcades and pinballs and spending weekends playing said games while eating and drinking as you see fit.  Dont get so caught up in age as its only a number.  Clearly, based just on the posts here age is not the biggest indicator of how one "feels".

In an alternate universe somewhere my exercise/daughter's playroom is a dedicated game room filled with pinballs, arcades and cool lighting effects............

Oh one last comment.....it is a little depressing how quickly I've developed an OCD regarding lawn maintenance.  I also think I probably drink more now than I did when I was in my 20's.  Now really, that is amazing....
