Sat a bit 'funny' on the couch yesterday and now suffering from a mildly sore back.

Damn you old age. Damn. You.

I hear ya. I'm fully expecting to throw my shoulder out while shaking my fist at those dang neighbourhood kids to get off my lawn!

Very late 40s now and I'm falling apart at an alarming rate...

Recovery takes so long for the mildest of things now. Only upside is lack of caring and needing less sleep.

Maybe if you were sleeping more, you would recover quicker :P

On a more serious note, have you had your iron/ferritin levels checked recently? I was right on the low end of okay for Ferritin but my GP has a sports medicine background and knows how active i am, he said he would like to see the level at around 80 instead of the 20 it was at. I have to supplement to get to that level but i feel so much better for it and feel like my body recovers alot better now which was one of the main reasons he wanted me to boost my levels

I did have my iron levels done earlier this year. They were good...can't recall the number though.

My sleep is actually okay. I just wake up refreshed after about 6 hours. Really hard to get more. Even if I have some weed I get maybe 7.

I'll talk to my GP about iron next time. Thanks for the tip 😁
