The older I get, the harder it is for me to sit or lay still. My legs will start to ache, and I have to get up and walk around. I do have fibromyalgia (as I know some other mylotters do), but I've had it for ages, it seems.The older you get, what do you find you do?

I try to get offline before 10:00 and get myself moving.

Specifically for aches and/or twitchiness in my legs and arms I find if I drink a glass of regular V8 with my evening meal it is less. I do find that I hurt more when I am in bed than when I am up, or maybe just notice it more. I have moved an exercise machine in and hope that stretching out my muscles on a regular basis helps. I find that gentle activity like walking during the day makes my nights better. Could be why I am missing school, no walking the halls.

Since my retirement I find that I am less active. Getting outside for a walk with Little Miss helps immensely. Just have to not walk steep inclines.

In the office, we have a rule to stand up and spend 5 minutes away from the seat, that is an hourly ritual. Here at home, I still do it because sitting for long would give me pains sometimes.

If I stay sedentary for too long, I feel stiff and achy. Have to get up and move around. Once warmer weather gets here it will be easier to go outside. Don't much care for the rainy days of April.

Did you ever think that 'eating loads' contributes to the other aches and pains???

I got my biological clock done last year in the summer.
54 years old it said.
Bloody old 54.

The older I get, the more frequent my back aches. So I try to spend less time sitting.

Keep moving if you can. I have trouble whether I'm sitting still or walking around (arthritis).

The older I get the less patience I have and also the anger is increasing

My arthritis is giving me a run for the money. My right knee is especially giving me difficulty. I have osteoarthritis in it. After I took a walk with Little Miss last week and walking up and down a steep incline triggered a lot of pain. Just ordered a knee brace and it should be here by Friday. Need some support to ease the pain.

I no longer get older--at my age I am old with all the aches and pains you hear about old people having plus a few you don't!

If my legs hurt riding my stationary bike always helps.
