POLL: Most Disgusting Thing You Notice about Your Aging Body
There's been a troubling shortage of elder-abuse threads lately, so I figured I'd spice things up with a fresh dose of aging and decrepitude, in case any of our young neighbors had ideas about finishing their dinner this week.
As we age, our bodies fail us. Hair changes color. Skin dries out. Muscles, joints, and bones ache for no damn reason. And the old chap simply REFUSES to rise to the occasion, no matter how many pills and powders you buy on the internet.
So enlighten us, Eldergays. What human oddities do we have to look forward to once we pass our thirties?

Goddamn it, Muriel! The poll didn't show up! I had items like:
-Your first grey chest/public hair
-Sagging neck or balls
-Plucking out a two-inch nosehair that's been in there since Bananarama
-Feet that look like the surface of the Moon
-Joints and scars that suddenly ache years after an injury
-Trouble down south (ED, overactive bladder, prostatitis, etc.)
-Other

Looking at my grandmother who is pushing 90 gets more and more difficult. The worst is the massive Quasi back hump, but the papery skin, bald scabbing head, hooded clouded watering eyes, drooling mouth with brown yellow eroded teeth and knarled bunioned hands & feet are unsettling. Doesn't help that in terms of personality she's a manipulative, sociopathic, snobby, miserly and selfish cunt, but to be fair she was like that in her 50s and before as well.
It makes me want to check out earlier, maybe in the late 60s or early-mid 70s. A bit older than my parents (sprightly but sagging and slightly flagging now in their early-mid 60s) are currently, but not decades and decades older. Any age over 80 just seems like a fucking miserable experience to me, like being a teen and a kid with all its limitations and pains and ugliness but with none of the energy and strength and potential and future to look forward to.

Aging accelerates at an alarming rate once past 60. This is where your genes really take over. Hairs sprouting, skin spots, hair thinning, dark circles, weird body weight shifts - and that's just the fairly benign stuff. The body aches, stiff joints, etc. Best advice is to keep moving as much as you can, avoiding sitting too much, walking daily. Have regular check ups and tests, blood work twice per year, monitor any conditions. Because shit keeps happening until you die.

Two things that I don't think have been mentioned yet:
1) Piercing pains in my feet, especially around my toes at night as I wait for sleep to take over. It feels like nails are being pounded into my feet. I asked my doctor about it as I read it might be connected to heart disease but he pooh-poohed that and told me to wriggle my feet and toes in the evening when I'm just sitting around. It does help and I did find that it lessened up considerably after I retired and left NYC and was pounding the pavements much less. I wear Crocs most of the time now or NB sneakers, never hard leather dress shoes, which has also helped a lot.
2) And....I'm shocked by inability to smile nicely. In photos I always look like I'm grimacing rather than smiling in a relaxed manner. I've noticed that about a lot of elderly people, they look rather crazed in family photos on social media. WTF is up with that....has anyone else noticed this phenomena, losing the ability to smile?

Weird, random aches and pains.
My back cracks whenever I bend over. No pain, just like cracking your knuckles.
Hair everywhere except my head. The strangest is the hair on my forearms has suddenly decided to never fall out on its own. Several years ago, driving and the sunlight hit my arms and you could see long fine hairs — like 2 inches — and now I have to trim there, too.
And finally, the only one I've worried about: bruising so easily it's just... I spoke to my doctor about it years ago and he said it was a sign of aging, but I hate it.
But overall, I consider myself fortunate. Hubby has debilitating IBS and calls me "cast iron stomach" because I can eat anything without consequence. He has to watch dairy, cruciferous vegetables, red meat, alcohol, and basically, too much of anything.

An easy thing to help with unsightly, discolored and tough toenails is scrubbing them daily with a nail brush and abrasive cleanser as you shower, and then rubbing in some Clotrimazole cream after the feet are dry. Since I apply the cream with my fingers, my fingernails also get the benefit of the cream.
I'm diligent about it in the warmer months when my feet are more on display, not so much through the winter months, but I do see a considerable difference. I'm 73, btw.

Do you have a cosmetology school in your area? Pedicures really aren't that expensive to begin with. You don't have to ask for nail polish. A doctor should cut your nails if it's really bad. If you do decide to go to a cosmetology school or salon, I'd suggest tipping big the first time (if your feet are really in bad shape). Thereafter, you've got to go regularly, not wait until things get really bad.
I'm thin and I do agree it's hard to clip those nails, sometimes.

Pimples in strange places. My ankles, back of my knees, armpits, inside the edge of my scalp, around and inside my ears.
About a year and a half ago, I developed a small subcutaneous growth on the back of my shoulder. It was the size of a small ball bearing. The dermatologist checked it out said it was a benign growth (can't recall the name). She could cut it out if I wanted. I declined thinking it was benign and didn't hurt. Fast forward a year and it started to get bigger and tender and finally red. Within three or four days it was the size of a nickel. It burst the day before my doctor's appointment. Very gross. MD took a culture and put me on antibiotics.

Dry skin around the ears. I know I can deal with this using the right cream but I hate anything like that. Feels greasy.
The beard on my neck has gone all soft and wooly, so it's very hard to shave because the blade doesn't catch it - BUT, I've now discovered HARRY and it copes with that fine, even if I leave my beard for too long and think it's going to be a tough session.

R168 my rich sociopathic uncle is a lifelong alcoholic with a tendency to stress. Also suspect he did a fair bit of the white stuff in the 80s (former rich businessman). Now in his 60s he looks decrepit, like 20 years older than he is. I can only compare him to a Skek'sis, with bits of wattled red chickenflesh hanging off every place on his body. His ears and nose have also drooped to the point they look like separate appendages. It's a very bizarre, unsettling, ugly sight.
The weird part is that he has so much money he retired early (late 40s) to New Zealand, where he's lived with relatively little stress and in total comfort with nothing to do except whatever he wants. His kids have moved out and he just lives under the care of his younger hotter wife. He has an enormous beautiful house with acres of space, plus time to do whatever he likes, like farm and garden and travel and read and volunteer. He could also easily afford surgery or cosmetic work or even just more frequent spa treatment to look better. And still he feels and looks like shit as a miserable addict.
Wealth and success truly is fucking wasted on these pieces of shit.

Still, my fingernails have developed a condition called [italic]lichen planus[/italic] which has caused them to thin out to such a degree where they are barely there. They don't grow really before disintegrating, it is somewhat painful.

For those of you with skin tags, turn it into a fun thing, invite your fellow elders around for skin tag parties. You can count each others skin tags and the person who has the most can receive a prize, maybe a pair of surgical stockings or socks or something similar. You can also fix each others skin tags by tying cotton around them tightly, in a week or so they will simply drop off.
Try watching TV or resting without wearing trousers once a day, you can stretch your legs and count your varicose veins. Not only is this fun and interesting to see if a new vein has appeared overnight, it keeps your brain working by having to count.
Getting old doesn’t have to be boring, you just have to think of ways to make it interesting and amuse yourself.

Keep the folds of your skin moisturized with a good body lotion or cream to avoid skin tags. The friction of your dry, loose skin is the culprit.

The grossest thing about aging, so far, has been the faint, blond hairs (thank GOD they’re faint and blond) growing out the edges of my ear lobes. What the fuck!! I have shaggy, longish hair, so this was hidden for a while (years?), but one night I must have had my hair tied back or something while watching TV, and I felt something tickling my ear lobes. I thought it was just hair that had come loose from where I’d tied it back. Nope.
I went to investigate in the bathroom mirror and found about six hairs on each ear lobe, growing either straight up or out from the outermost edges. I plucked them all immediately, and now I have to re-pluck every few weeks.
The good thing is they’re impossible for anyone else to spot (I think), the bad thing is they’re hard to see under most lighting conditions in any room, which makes plucking difficult. I always get eye strain when I’m done doing it, because I have to stand really close to the bathroom mirror and turn my eyeballs as far to the side as I can, just to see where to aim the tweezers.
Second worst thing is the under-chin fat, but that’s actually manageable with weight loss, I’ve found.

Wait, r225 the body continues to produce new cells, including in your brain, to replace the ones that die—I don’t think you end up with all the exact same cells you start out with. Google was once my friend but we’re not speaking at the moment, so ..

I used to be a dancer and had beautifully proportioned muscle legs. That stopped years ago, but I still had better then average calves and thighs. Now, it seems my knees are bigger than my calves and thighs and are on the verge of chicken legs. Time is cruel.

R225 did you learn that at Doktor skool in a strip mall? I bet you did.
Our brains can do neurogenesis throughout life. Then there are skin and blood cells. The skeletal system replaces cells every 10 years.

Loose skin. When you get old, you shrink. If you were bulky for any reason, be it fat or fit, you find yourself with something that looks like draperies hanging from your appendages or stomach.

R230 getting up quickly can cause orthostatic hypotension, and when your blood pressure drops suddenly it’s woozy time and the world might turn dark …It’s common in older people…

I guess I'll ask this here. I don't think this warrants its own thread.
Is it better to have morning oatmeal with some saccharine/pink stuff or some white sugar?
by Anonymous | reply 269 | December 18, 2022 6:39 PM

R269 Natural sweeteners (even regular raw or white sugar) are ALWAYS better than the chemically-created shit.
Try sweetening oatmeal with maple syrup or honey. You can also add fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt to alter the flavor entirely.

Use Stevia. Find the ones without unnecessary additives. I recommend Sweet Leaf organic. Honey or maple syrup is okay. You can add fresh fruits such as berries.

I’m pretty slender for 49 (183 cm; 69 kg). But I do have some “extra” skin folds around my waist and upper thighs when I sit down. Not a huge deal, but they certainly weren’t so noticeable just a few years ago.
Also, I developed Dupuytren's three years ago and though I don’t have it too bad yet, the insides of my hands are still mildly deformed. It’s gross. Only gonna get worse.
Also, I’m not a fan of my heavy eyelids and the bags below my eyes. Oh yeah, my hair is mostly still there, but the thinning is so pronounced, especially after a shower or swim.
I think that about covers it (for now).
I’m fairly healthy though. There’s a lot to be said to having a healthy heart and lungs and being free of cancer.

My great great grandma lived to 112. She had a decent life until just after 100 and that was due to her being placed in an old folks home.
Both sides of the family have longevity with good health. My grandma is 91, former teacher, still tutors and is doing well enough. She still cooks great meals and is sharp as a tac.
I’m mid 30s, exercise regularly, have since high school, and eat decently.
I agree about eye brows- shave them ffs. Bushy brows are gross.
