Aging: Blessing or curse?

 I have nothing against old age, I hope to die of old age.

Yes, but it's Dignitas, not Digitas.

 You asked the question, what is digitas, i tried to help you by telling you what it is, now you are being critical of the spelling,  gawd help me.

When I googled Digitas nothing about euthanasia came up, that's because it was the incorrect spelling.  Doesn't hurt to spell the name right, does it?

Thanks. I googled it, but I see no mention of euthanasia.

That's because it's called Dignitas.

 

Myself, I'm going to be digitased shortly so I'll be just a series of ones and noughts.

So what and who cares? Get a life.

IMHO it beats the crap out of the alternative. Although, having said that, I guess if my quality of life went seriously downhill I could change my mind.

Every day both my knees hurt, one is already a complete rebuild the other just lets me know that its not happy 

 

My right shoulder hurts everyday from an operation quite a few years back after it was screwed back together after 3 guys thought that they could attack me in the street for no apparent reason.

 

My lower back kills me if I stand for more than about 15 minutes after I damaged it moving sandbags during a flooding alert in the UK.

 

And my never ending Gout is a pain in the Toe - Ankle - Elbow etc etc 

 

But, I'm happy, I can go for a beer or 2, eat good food, have the company of my lovely Mrs, enjoy the weather (although today was a bit of a piss take temperature wise) 

 

So yeah, sometimes getting older sucks, but as others have said it is better than the alternative

Read the  posts, might stop you repeating what others have already said. Give the "get a life" thing a break, it's been done to death. Try to exercise some originality.

Changing eating and drinking habits + exorcize could help your knockle pain and gut. Just saying

I managed to turn it around, and now just some pain in my toe and knockles when I am not careful enough and get lazy. Just saying ;-)

You can't compare your situation to anothers. His levels of uric acid may be far higher than yours, and a diet  isn't going to cure chronic back pain.

I do not compare, but back pain, uric acid, and many things, can be better. I myself suffered twice prolapses in my back, and have managed to stabalize it. In many ways it is your lifestyle what is the main problem, but most do not want to realize it is, and continue like they where in their 20íes, and manage to gain more healt problems. Again, I can only talk for myself, but I have experienced it, and so far managed to turn around a bad trend in life in time.

The trick there is knowing when to say "when." 

 

Hats off to Barbara Bush.  Whatever you may think of her role in history, she said "when."
