It is your birthday once again, Happy Birthday!  Are you one of those people who dreads this time of year?  The time that reminds you that once again, you are one year closer to being an old person.

We don’t need people to tell us that we are getting older each year.  Our own body has decided to make it a known fact every day that we are not young and carefree any longer. 

Are you one of those people that have tried to lose weight over and over again only to have it come right back on the next time you are faced with a tragedy or you simply are exhausted from your hectic daily schedules?  Are you tired of feeling exhausted because of those extra pounds you are lugging around?

You are thirty years old and still getting pimples.  What is going on there?  Haven’t you paid the price when you were a teenager?  Your skin doesn’t seem to think so. 

Maybe, you are a teenager or tween just starting to experience the problems of acne.  Acne can truly turn a teenager’s life upside down.  Regardless of the fact that acne is normal, it doesn’t seem to “feel” normal when you are being made fun of or you are feeling just plain “gross”.

Gary, 53 years old, wakes up three or four times at night to pee.  He feels that he has to pee, but he stands there and has to wait until it comes out. 

Very annoying. 

When he is traveling, he doesn’t drink water because he is worried that he won’t be able to find a bathroom in time. 

When he has to go, he has to go right away.   Then, only a small amount may dribble out.

My mom is 82,  five and a half feet tall and a heavyweight.  That has put a lot of pressure on her knees over the years.  The cartilage, protecting the ends of the bones, has worn away making walking very painful. 

Arthritis

If you are over fifty, you have an 80% chance of having arthritis.

You will see it in X rays when it has changed the bones enough to show up.  That is late in the game.

John was a hard working 38 year old carpenter.  He had a wonderful family, an eleven year old boy and an eight year old girl.  He was married and had a dog and a cat.  He had an all American life that was going great, until he started to get tired more and more. 

He just figured he was tired.

My great uncle Bernard had a yellow tinge to his skin and the whites of his eyes – jaundice. His liver was failing and the jaundice was the outward expression of it.
