Memory issues, here. I didn’t think I would have bad memory issues until just a while ago, I had a thought on the tip of my nose, but forgot it in seconds and how it took me minutes to recall it. That’s a key sign right there.

Some people have better memory in old age, like it’s unreal sometimes with what some of them can remember. While the average person forgets thoughts in moments.

            Genetics are not on my side in this regard. Extensive family history of everything under the sun, including degenerative joint issues, hypermobility, diabetes, blood pressure, etc…

          I started having trouble with one of my knees when I was a teenager, probably due to reckless behavior. Still have chronic joint pain, with most of them, but at least I don’t get the acute knee pain anymore. I can usually tell when my knee movement is going to cause problems and stop the action before it kicks in. But it’s been at least a year since i was pain free without medication.
