      30’s are special though as you just begin to notice these things. I remember my big wake up call is I was working a job with a lot of shipping and recieving. I would always jump off the dock and one day I jumped off and just stopped because I could feel it in my back. It was like the official day I was no longer young.

        I screwed up my knee getting out of a cargo van. I work on a farm and there are a million other ways I could hurt myself but no, I fucked up my knee getting out of a van.

          I know someone who required knee surgery and a year of physical therapy after stepping down off a bale of hay and landing a little crooked. Getting old sucks.

            I’ve been nursing an injured shoulder and thumb for close to two months. Almost healed now but I don’t even know what caused it. I just woke up one morning in pain. Getting old sucks!

        30’s are where I realized it’s not about losing, say, the physical strength to deadlift and shuffle something maxing your muscles out, it’s when doing that carries serious risk of fucking you up.

        Or yeah, like you said, jolts to your body giving suck. It helps if you give yourself a second to plan before doing though

          Oh yeah if I had stretched and prepped I likely would have been fine but it was an end to just casually doing stuff like that with no consequence.

          Ah, my secret to avoiding that is to be obese when in my 20s, and then losing that before i hit 30 by doing weightlifting. I’m feeling MUCH better physically.

          (apart from being able to handle lack of sleep)

      I will be 40 next year and I honestly feel better mentally and physically than when I was 20 something - not being a depressed, anxious sack of shit and being physically active helped a lot. Although, I need to be careful when exercising my joints.

        About to hit 32. Life’s kinda in the shitter ATM, but I’m working on being that way by my 40s. Or mid 30s. Or something man, idk.

        Meh. 50 is the new 40. Or whatever. It’s honestly not that bad for many people, me included (except for the unending struggle against depression but that disease is age independent so it doesn’t count! Yay!)

    I found the trick with the reflux is those apple cider vinegar gummies every night. I had to cut calcium heavy things due to a blood condition but these gummies work pretty well.Just don’t swap them with a shot glass of apple cider vinegar. Ive learned you will get a terrible case of shits.

        Once was plenty enough to learn the lesson for me.

        I figured it be smart to not wash it down with water or dilute it. To really let work on the stomach. Burned like hell but I was heartburn free.

        I cannot over empathize the horrors that occurred in my lower regions the next day. My body made some new and loud noises. I can only be thankful I work from home.

        The gummies are not bad all though, if used as directed, and still decently effective. Just be sure to wash them down with a lot of water.

    I used to get acid reflux all the time, like constantly. Then one week I had no sleep and I just couldn’t deal anymore.

    So I spend the next fortnight eating nothing but non-acidic foods and taking those calcium carbonate tabs things every third day (even if I had no reflux).

    And somehow, my chronic reflux is just gone. Never get it anymore unless I drink 2l of orange juice in one sitting. Even then it’s only once off and that’s it. This is not medical advice, but somehow my years of reflux is gone like that.

      I had it my whole life. Turns out I’m allergic to tomatoes. Grew up in an Italian family, mother had a tomato garden. Go figure.

        Ah, kinda like how i “aged out of” my genetic childhood asthma right around the time when my parents stopped smoking indoors.
