Can MM Treatments Or MM Itself, Accelerate Aging?
We just have to keep up the good fight. Lots of exercise and healthy eating. My bikini days were over even before I got myeloma π
Somewhere I read that MM and treatments age the body 17 years. I don't know where I saw that or how they came up with 17 years but I am 68 and prior to this last year I felt and looked more like I was younger than my years. With the shrinkage of my spine and the weight loss my body now looks more like my mothers when she was in her 80's. I have a lot of excess skin from the weight loss. My skin is so dry all over and I have developed skin anomalies all over. Some like moles, some brown spots, some red spots, just a lot of strange spots. I use to have normal skin that was very clear.
Cognitive is primarily my worry
Yeah, mine too Donna; and you know what, I don't care about that kind of stuff anymore. I used to stress over my appearance, but those days are over.
I wish I would just get over stressing over stupid stuff. I started wearing a bathing suit for surfers. Long sleeves and shorts. I'm much more comfortable swimming now. I can't be in the sun anyway, so it works for me. Amazon has cute onesie suits. π
