Well I seem to have less meno symptoms than you others and wonder if it's age related  :-\ ……….

Some mornings I woke feeling 90 when I was in my mid-50s ……… with the old lady crawl out of bed and across the landing before I could stand up properly  ::)

So far I'm the oldest  ;)

Hello CLKD.

September 1956 version here, genuine original with no restorations and frankly barely functioning at times. Needs work.

Ok, so we are all knocking on a bit.

How old do you feel in your head.....and how old does your body feel.


Still about 21.....and struggling with being grown up and sensible ...which is boring.
                                         And
About 80 with my aches and pains and creaky joints

Oh go on Ellie do tell - no one's up at this time to listen  ;D

I feel 16 in my head.  That's the age I began being courted by the man who became my husband  :-*
Title: Re: Am I the oldest lady on here?
Post by: ellie on August 06, 2015, 07:48:29 AM
Well seeing as you asked CLKD , I will only tell you....please don't tell a anyone else....
    Well you see, I am as old as my tongue but older than my teeth.....I was born in 1945.....I am told I don't look it and certainly don't act it....
How old do I feel in my head......I would say 40...
I guess this makes me the sites Matriarch, and should be treated with great respect.....
  I trust we can keep this strictly between us as I would feel embarrassed if anyone else knew. :-X

Wonder what the youngest member's age is? I'm 1972, but I know there are several younger  than me. What I so love about this site is that age doesn't matter - in fact, I feel more able to tell you guys things and accept advice from you  than some of my closest friends!
Title: Re: Am I the oldest lady on here?
Post by: thorntrees on August 06, 2015, 11:58:38 AM
Happy to be knocked off my perch by you Ellie!
Do hope your pain eases soon.
Like others, I don't feel my age in my head but this morning having cleaned the bathroom, changed the bed, done the weekly shop and half an hours ironing I know for sure I am getting on a bit..
I do feel grateful though to be reasonably fit and if the hot flushes during the day and sweats at night would disappear life would be even better. They are less frequent though so maybe one day!!..
Til then-onwards and upwards.

Any advances on 1975? 

I agree Briony - it seems like our birth dates range over a 30 year period, but we are all working together to deal with the same issues.

1960 for me so 55! Have to remind myself that my Gran lived to 102, so had her entire life again after meno! She was pretty fit and healthy too - even managed to catch an adder in her mid 80s! Hope for us all, and before she died she used to tell stories of when she flooded settees in "the change"!

July 1966 - World Cup Willie I was supposed to be, but turned out to be a gir  ;D

I feel as I did in my early 20s I'd say - some days I do a double take in the mirror  - who is that?
Title: Re: Am I the oldest/youngest lady on here?
Post by: Hurdity on August 13, 2015, 06:21:53 PM
Well I knew I was older than you CLKD as I'm spring 1953 (I remember when I was 60 and you weren't!) - a little older than Suzi Q - but I'm not and never will be a lady  so I don't count on this thread do I   ;D. I also knew there were several women in their 60's because they've said so when they've posted ie I am nowhere near the oldest  ::)!

Also there are younger women on here - not so long ago there was someone of 29 and there have been a few in their 20's with very early menopause, so I'm guessing there may some born 1985 or so - but will probably be on here sporadically....

As for how long this stuff goes on for - well - post-menopause is for ever girls - most of us who continue on here are still using some form of HRT or local oestrogen, because they would have other things to do if they were post-meno, no symptoms and not taking anything!!! Some women have only joined this in their 60's because they have experienced the onset of symptoms which may not come apparent until several years post-menopause eg VA, bladder problems etc.

Young or old - we all have experiences to share, support and advice to seek and offer....

Sorry Carina, but I have to knock you off your throne.......March 1945 . So I am still sitting on this throne, and it's darn uncomfortable  ;) will someone please come along and relieve me from the pain ?  :). Wouldn't you think one of the youngsters would at least offer me a cushion!
