Re: The Carolina Center to Discuss Worn-Out Woman Syndrome on...

[Guest guest]

I think it is great that they are trying to understand why women get sick as

they get older. But, I don't really understand the educational concept of

this " WOW " as an illness or syndrome. Isn't what they describe called " Aging? "

Think you're a worn-out woman? Dr. Pittman offers some indications

that characterize this syndrome:

• In generally good health throughout most of ones life, but with

increasing minor health problems as time progresses.

• A gradual compromise of the immune system with increasing

incidents of infections of all kinds.

• A gradual decline in energy and a gradual development of

musculoskeletal problems.

• The worsening of preexisting chronic digestive disorders and mood

disturbances.

• A feeling of accelerated aging with loss of muscle tone, increased

wrinkling of the face and neck, and inability to engage in physical

activity without becoming exhausted.
