Age of folks when reporting

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am trying to track the age factor as it relates to side effects in

recovery. Our bodies secrete less hormones and other chemicals as we age,

which if we could see some trends, might be able to replensish some things

which might reduce side effects. My guess is that those with less side

effects are under 40-45. but I could be wrong. This is the general time

period when some hormones start to diminish, in both men and women (human

growth hormone, female hormones, estridiol, progesterone, etc).

I'm not a doctor,it's a long shot, but I thought I'd start collecting data.

So if you wouldn't mind, if you could mention your age when they discuss

your recovery it would help.

Thanks.

I was 44 at the time of surgery. Turned 45 in March. No complications.

Had ovaries out at same time (which changes my hormones). No hormone

replacement therapy yet.

You're not only not a doctor, you aren't nurse either.

I am 65. I have no problems. Except my ongoing disgust at how nurse

practitioners are somehow 'overlooked' when folks talk about their

medical and mental health issues. We do the work with higher patient

satisfaction than MDs have.

I was not quite 38 when I had my DS (surgery in May, b-day in July).
