Your body starts to change once you turn 40!......I

Hey Linda! I started wearing glasses when I was 40 too! It is normal for your eyes to start going around that age! So don't feel bad! I at first need them for reading and then it went downhill year after year! But, I'm alot older than you so don't worry you have plenty of years to catch up to my "old" eyes! lol And I have an a stigmatism too and am near-sighted and far-sigthed too! There are lots of cool frames out now! I like those small square black frames! I think I'm going to get one of those!

For me it seems all down hill since I hit 40, then got worse at 45!!! I ache all over, my eyes are bad and I can't loose all this weight!! But I know that it doesn't have to be this way, I have a friend who is 54, she started to do yoga when she was in her 40s and changed her diet. She is so much more healthy than me. So I know have to do but...........

yes your right getting older means changes of your body was expected ..i do the same feeling too.

If you think that's bad just wait until the rest of your body starts to act up! So far my stomach has become extremely sensative...but only to certain things. I can eat *very* hot hot wings with no problems whatsoever but coffee kills me. My best friend has been enjoying the fun of hot flashes for about a year now. Fortunately the neighbors can't see her standing on the deck in ten degree weather in her underwear at 2:00AM!

I think this is just a part of life. Some in our family have the problems you mention even when children. The thing you will notice as you get closer to fifty years old is that you will need reading glasses. I remember one holiday having my sisters tease me and my husband (we are the oldest ones) about how old we looked with our reading glasses. I just told them that what they see us doing is coming their way soon. Now we all wear reading glasses.

Hello my friend. Body change is usual. Have you checked your meal in the past couple of years if it contains vitamin A. Cos at the moment i dont seem to have any eye effects. Dont think you are complaining, its normal to wen you notice changes. I would say you go for the lense and change the frames. God bless you.

I too seemed to notice a lot of changes when I turned 40 - glasses was one thing and there were other things too. I told my kids that I think tatooed on butt my where I couldn't see it was something like this - "UPON ATTAINING AGE 40 THIS BODY WILL SELF DESTRUCT." LOL

Getting older is awful isn't it! I am 31 and it seems that every year something gives out. And I'm not even that old yet. I exercise and eat right to keep my body in good shape but there are some things you have no control over. My eye sight is getting bad too. I used to have 20/20 vision but not anymore. I think I'll be in glasses by next year. I had to renew my license this year and was told that I should consider glasses. I got lucky and barely passed the eye test. And last year, I bent down and hurt my back. I got stuck bending over and couldn't get up. It was awful. But thankfully I was at home and nobody saw me except my husband and kid. I guess the only thing we can do is enjoy we have and take care of ourselves.

I am just 38 and a lot of changes in my body have occured. I have more back pains now, with arthritis that makes me difficult to rise in the morning and many other aches! How much more if I reach 40, I cannot imagine myself.

as early as 35 that we will notice these changes like the blurry eyes. and so it is better to correct our vision before we reach 40. i forget always to wear the eye glass i have bought . i will do i wear them again. but it is not comfortable to wear eyeglasses as you have mentioned. sometimes i wanted to wear contact lenses but eye glasses is safer though.

Can't say I know the feeling. I'm much younger than 40, but I'll keep that in mind for when I get around to that.

40 seems like a very horrible age, and I will be there very soon. Hope nothing much happens. My eyesight is already bad, maybe long-sightedness can help cure short-sightedness a bit. Anyway, still have a lot more years to go. The average lifespan to woman is closer to 80 years old. Hopefully the body doesn't fall apart too soon.

Absolutely that is true, our body change when it comes at the age of 40. As for me, I will do my best of my health and body style be good so that I am always feel beautiful. God bless you all my friends.

Yep and it only gets worse. At 40 things were not as clear. At 48 I can't read anything without reading glasses. Gravity ain't being too kind either!

Yes, unfortunately we all get older. I used to wear glasses for driving and when watching television. I got them in my early twenties. I needed them because my sight got worse from using a computer all day long at work and then at home. Anyhow, about 3 years ago I noticed that I didn't really need the glasses for driving anymore and not for watching television or when I went to the movies. But about 2 years ago I noticed that I needed reading glasses for seeing fine print. I was trying to read a recipe on the back of a label and just could not make out the measurements. Oh well, it just comes with aging - what can you do? I just grin and bear it. At least I don't have to wear them all the time, only when I am reading something with small print. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

Yes you are right. It iw also phase of life. first we are children then young and then old. Ultimately change is the law of nature. We have to accept this law.

SO life really starts at 40 eh? And don't forget, mid-life crisis also starts to set-in . So it is not just the body but even the mind. This makes me scared for I will be there within a few more years and right now, I know I have to do something to have a healthier lifestyle and less to worry on the future.

hello, eyes if getting uncomfortable, let pieces of oculist check, delay getting kind.
