Memory issues, here. I didn’t think I would have bad memory issues until just a while ago, I had a thought on the tip of my nose, but forgot it in seconds and how it took me minutes to recall it. That’s a key sign right there.
Some people have better memory in old age, like it’s unreal sometimes with what some of them can remember. While the average person forgets thoughts in moments.

“Get off my lawn”, but not in a very bad way. lol. Now that I live in a house, I have to admit I get mildly infuriated when I see people walking across my front lawn or parking right by my driveway. But I don’t confront them or anything, I just stare menacingly behind half closed window blinds where they can’t see me.

You could lay a lovely path across your garden and then you’d never be annoyed about it and perhaps you’d even be proud when people use it.

Do you have a massage ball? 5 bucks. Against wall. Don’t go over the spine.

Mine got fully away after buying a really good (and expensive) gaming chair and a new mattress. The gaming industry has done so much for our health, it’s insane. :)

Don’t get gaming chairs. Get a good office chair. Like a herman miller chair

hearing loss; vision impairment; bad back; hernias; hypertension; diabetes.
some people are afraid that they’re turning into their mother or their father; while i’m turning into both at the same time.

Getting up to pee 2x a night
I hate that too but I’m just glad I still have enough bladder control to actually wake up for it. I dread possibly losing that someday.

Joint pain. Muscle pain. Drastically slower healing of minor cuts and scrapes.

The switch to progressive lenses happened far sooner than I was hoping.

Graying in the beard stayed away for a long time, and then in a matter of a year, decided to attack with all of its might. (Probably the same on my head too, but I’ve been shaving it forever so I wouldn’t know)

Heartburn troubles. Though that was less about ageing and more about gaining weight after quitting smoking twelve years ago.

Almost 50. Most of (back pain, muscle pain, articulary pains…) my “age” issues have been cured (well, improved…) By an highly active sport life. Think of -daily- activity, not walks, but mixing running and swimming actively. It took one years or so, but I feel 38 again. The trick is NEVER stop, keep doing sport never let more that one or two days pass by without at least 1h run or 1h swim. Get proper clothes and shoes, RUN PROPERLY, and be very progressive not to injure your ligaments.
(Except for those small prints, I swear they used to write them bigger… And small cuts healing that still take ages…)
Also, my memory has improved. Maybe it’s all the time I can let my mind free while swimming or running… And indeed my stress levels have dropped.

Memory problems can occur after getting Covid, maybe that’s a factor as well?

back pain, one day you’ll wake up and everything just falls apart
- some_guy ( @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ) 5•28 days ago
Aging. I didn’t expect to live through my twenties due to a reckless lifestyle that included lots of drugs and partying and rubbing shoulders with questionable types of people. I saw an old lady being helped walking with a younger woman at age ~27 and went, oh shit. That might be me one day. I had severely chilled out and converted to a more typical lifestyle by then.

I’m finally growing some gray hair. I’ve earned each one of them and it’s my favorite hair color.
- Alice ( @Alice@beehaw.org ) 2•27 days ago
Not an old person yet, but I thought I was prepared for everything since I’ve had shitty joints, a shitty back, and a shitty memory since I was a kid.
As soon as I hit 30 I started putting on weight despite never changing my diet or exercise routine 🥲 no more hourglass figure for me!
