What age did you develop health issues if at all.

[Wafflefudge]

Just wondering what age people tend to develop health issues if at all.
I'm 39 with no health issues.

2 years old! Was when my medical condition was diagnosed. Under control now but wasn't it until I was a teenager that I was given actual treatment before that it was management of symptoms

I am 47 and have no health issues, other than a creaky and sometimes sore knee.

All my health issues have really taken off when I turned 50 !

50. Totally fine until then. Now struggling with weight and mobility, although I think lockdowns have played their part. Waiting for second minor op this year for two totally unrelated conditions. And another physio referral. Really has taught me not to take health and mobility for granted.

Mental health: mid teens onwards
Physical: 38, fractured vertebrae, chronic pain for the last 7 years.

27, after my second pregnancy. My kids are 15 months apart so don't think my body was ready for a second baby.

Have had issue after issue since

5 - genetic condition.

25 - IBS and anxiety after death of parent

nearly 40 and not much else apart from the managing the one that started at 5 which is a pain in the arse.

13 type 1 diabetes

Hypothyroidism at 25
Pituitary tumour at 27
Asthma and Addison’s disease at 35
Early menopause at 37
Lupus and sjorgens at 39

I’m 41.

I now realise I had some symptoms of fibro as a child. Can remember the “fibro feeling” also as a teen. Raging IBS blighted my life for 20 years plus but drs brushed it off as “ only IBS”. Fibro symptoms really kicked in after my DP was killed. IBS mostly under control, suspect I have hypothyroid but told I’m “ fine” with a bloody huge goitre and fibro with CFS.
Sorry you’ve got it so young, it’s a crap “invisible” condition. I rage against it daily, especially trying to make my legs work.

Invisible conditions are truly shit especially in terms of family and friends as you can seem ok but then pay for something later or legs work one day and not the next. I don’t even mind the legs not working but the social aspect I describe there is just depressing. To pps above do you feel like this?

Hypermobility at 33 (causes me some minor issues).

I have a CAM impingement and labral tear in my hip that has to be managed (won't go away) - started to get significant symptoms from that when I was 36. It's linked to the hypermobility.

I need to go to the GP as I have some signs of arthritis in one of my hands - keep forgetting to make the appointment though (as I probably have ADHD - also undiagnosed, as I can't manage to organise myself..).

Otherwise I'm in fairly good nick - long may it last. I'm 39.

Very healthy until around 44, swimming 3 times a week around 120 lengths some of the times, thin, then had about 9 months of constant illnesses, cause never established but long term antibiotics solved.

Then at 48, overnight a 5cm cubed lump appeared in breast, hard, no family history of breast cancer (well grandmothers sister at late 60s) and as just appeared out of nowhere thought will be fine, covid vaccine just before thought maybe that. GP says will be nothing in June, read in here similar case, and go back in Nov. Another GP says that's almost 100% certain to be cancer. Refers and yes it is cancer, and it has spread to lymph nodes and infact turns out to be 2 cancers with a 3rd mass found on adrenals which is found not to be cancer. Both are lobular breast cancer which forms lump at end and both in right breast. Now had 2 surgeries, 4 months of chemotherapy, doing radiotherapy, 10 years of medication to take and another operation needed and also more blood tests to see what to do about adrenal mass.

My fifties were hell, health wise, severe nervous breakdown, DVT and rheumatoid arthritis and a broken wrist.

20 . The idea that only "old people" have health issues pisses me off bc it means people don't believe me and my sick friends can possibly be in that much pain/ feel that crap as we're "so young".

I developed type 1 diabetes while pregnant at 41. Nothing else (bad knee but that was from an injury). I'm 60 now.

48. Things started to wear out then and have got steadily worse.

I’m 34 and I was born without a thyroid so had health issues my whole life.... thyroid disease comes along and hand in hand with many other diseases. So any symptom you can think of, I will get it... every day is a lucky dip of which one will present its self.... on the back of that I’ve got Ibs and my hearing is slowly but surely fading. Otherwise my lungs and heart are in good Knick 😊

At exactly your age OP I was diagnosed with cancer. I'm now 47 and have been OK since although very scared it will come back.

I had my first heart attack at 42. Out of the blue perfectly healthy before that I was a size 8, fit didn't drink etc. I have had another 3 since then and a bypass currently have high BP and late onset type 1 diabetes

26, endometriosis but no one believed me or listened, diagnosed at 33.
30, rosacea
34 herniated discs in back, constant pain
34, 2 other conditions in spine
35, raynauds phenomenon
37, arthritis in shoulder
37, arthritis in neck
39, ibs
45, diverticulitis

Cancer at 32. Never had health issues before that and the diagnosis was such a shock as I had no symptoms. It really changed how I viewed illness and to be honest I was quite smug about my health before that. Lesson learned the hard way.

21 when I developed my first auto immune disease.

but I was 37 when my health started to take a downward turn, developed high blood pressure and diagnosed with pernicious anaemia.

by45.. the age I am now.. my health is not great at all, this past year has been terrible and I think stress has played a major part

So far at 54 nothing but I recently met up with some school friends and they were all on a load of tablets for various ailments. It was a bit of a shock. They spent about an hour discussing thier problems and treatments ....I drunk wine and got squiffy 😊

I've been blessed with good physical health so far. I'm 58. I take medication for high blood pressure and have an occasionally creaky knee which is currently being investigated but that's it. Fingers crossed it stays that way for as long as possible. Both my parents are reasonably fit and healthy in their mid-80s.
