Scheduled Maintenance
As the years go by we all hope we will age gracefully retaining the best of health for as long as possible.For myself I didn’t notice any significant aging signs (except hair loss) until my early fifties when my body seemed to go through a two year or more major change during which time I suffered heart palpitations, bleeding gums, frayed ligaments and a multitude of other ails, but came through feeling healthier, fitter, taller (2mm believe it or not) and arguably more intelligent, which has been pretty cool!
Since then things haven’t been too bad, I have succumbed to the usual loss of hair color and I now require glasses to read, but apart from that not much else......... Until now.
Over the last few of months I have noticed a couple of subtle changes and am wondering whether my body is undergoing an internal upgrade, kind of like a scheduled maintenance, replacing a few worn out parts, making some repairs etc.
Anyone experienced anything like this?

I have worked hard all my life, need the life of relaxing as much as I can
With our hormone changes many often feel totally out of control and very much like we're in someone elses body.
Could it be one of yours perhaps?

Can you call them remedies if you have to keep repeating them
I think you would know it if you were in my body
The way my face looks at the moment I dont think any mirror could cope without cracking
Well there you have it! I just don't know what the hell I'm talking about. It's this alien body I'm occupying and not really me at all.
Being the gentleman that I am I shall refrain from posting the comment that popped into my head on reading your last post.
I'm absolutely relieved you didn't reply to that as I'm sure I'll be regretting it soon enough.
Does that count?
