Entering the 6th decade of my life Reluctantly, involuntarily I enter my 60th birthday. It sucks to be older. Some physical conditions are going down. 1. Hair - Salt and pepper. The salt is beating pepper everyday. Every 3 - 4 weeks need to "touch up" dye my hair or the roots will show. 2. Eyes - Astigmatism and "Flying mosquito disease" (flakes in eyes). I went to see optometrist doctor, but been told nothing he can do for me. 3. Shoulder - I feel a little pain on my left shoulder. I went to see rheumatic doctor and taking some medicine which might cause "stomach ulcer". My mother had arthritis, so I have to watch my joint pain. 4. Hypertension - a little bit high. Taking medication to control. 5. Weight gain - metabolism slow down. I am going to see a nutritionist. From blood test results show I don't have diabetes or cholesterol too high. I have retired from pharmacist job since July 2009 in order to take care of my mom. She passed away in 2013. I am doing stock trading full time. I did very well last year. Recently the stock market plunged so my portfolio also went down. I will survive. Honesty is the best policy. |

I purchased and used that "Stopain" spray. Its ingredient is 8% Menthol, NOT local anesthesia, Lidocaine or Novocaine. It did NOT work for me. Menthol is to make the area "chilling cool" feeling, no other therapy use. It works like "Ben Gay" with another name. Menthol spray is the same as we eat Menthol candy on holidays. Arthritis is "Inflammation" from inside of the joints. Menthol has no therapy value. My rheumatic doctor inject small amount of "Decadron" and Novocaine at my left shoulder joint directly that relieve the pain (Novocaine) and inflammation (Decadron - steroid). Honesty is the best policy.

Happy Birthday- Aging is the phenomenon within living of which no matter what we do, we can't erase it. It's interesting when considering the power of the body, as the body can do many things including healing itself of many things, but it can't reverse aging. I tore the rotator cuff on my left shoulder, but the right is now more painful than the left. I have friends who dye their hair, some don't like discussing the elements of aging. I often tell them, between 55 and 65 is a critical time, to be on guard against strokes and heart attacks, 70 onward, its a matter of trying to keep the vital systems in the best of health as we can. As the old saying:, live while we can. Unfortunately many things come in life that can and does impact the reality of what we can do and what actually gets done. If we note, by the late 20 or early 30's responsibilities in life change, and they began to change again at 50's age years. By the 60's we again re-adjust what is and is not a priority. Our outlook on things change as well, we can readily see many things of folly that impact lives, and we become to think in terms of safety and health with a higher focus. We can be and feel blessed to have the longevity to reach these ages and have our mobility, our sense of awareness and still the ability to do many things. That is a grand blessing... We can't stop time. Life is what it takes us ups and downs. My health is considering good. Aging process is coming but hope we will gain wisdom along the way. Honesty is the best policy.

Thank you, Kayra. I joined 24 hr Fitness since 3/3/2014 and hired a "personal trainer" paid $300 extra but I didn't lose weight. Currently, I only go to gym on Saturday morning for an hour Zumba dance. I spoke to my PCP (Primary Care Physician) about weight gain. My doctor applied a nutritionist and been approved by insurance. I will call and set up appointment to see that nutritionist. I hate to count "Calories" when eating. Today I went to a car wash place for FREE car wash on birthday in my town. However, my birthday last year was FREE, but today they told me only 50% discount. So I paid 50% plus tips for my mini-van car wash. Recently, China devalued their currency by 2% and the whole world stock market plummeted that made many investors nervous. Honesty is the best policy.
