Is it normal for your body to be falling apart at 28? (lemmy.world)

Turning 28 in a month and in the past year everything has gotten drastically worse.

Is this just a normal part of aging or am I unlucky? I mean I am almost 30 but it just seemed kind of sudden idk.

Like for example my varicose veins have gotten exponentially worse this year, I feel like my skin is sagging a lot over my whole body, and I feel like I've lost muscle mass, like significantly. To be fair I wasn't as active as usual but in other similar situations I was never looking this way.

Doctors said I'm fine btw. I'm just so exhausted and it's depressing seeing this shit.

Yes I think it is. I've always had back pain from mild scoliosis but it got much worse when I hit 30. I got diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitus at 31 which explained why I was getting more extreme bouts of pain in my legs all of a sudden. That disease comes with strange symptoms, in addition to the main ones of rheumatoid arthritus I've also had trouble with my motivation/energy levels and uveitis (eye inflammation) problems.

It kind of makes sense on some level that after your mid/late 20s your body has stopped growing and started its slow process of dying. I'm lucky I've still got all my hair I guess although that randomly fell out for a year in 2021!

Doctors said you’re fine?

Exactly what is “fine”?

There could be a lot you’re not telling us, not that I’m expecting you to post personal info here. If you’re overweight and/or sedentary and a blood test shows things are normal this does not mean things are “fine”. You shouldn’t be falling apart at 28. You should be hitting a stride. I can only offer the most basic suggestions. Permanently change your foods to healthier options. Get exercise. If walking sucks, find a gym with a pool and swim so pounding the pavement doesn’t exacerbate varicose veins or some other low-impact exercise. Don’t quit. Failing to try to change only means things will continue downhill. Maybe some psych help? Depression? Good luck.

Sounds like stress.
