The Golden Years

I saw a couple of references to the "golden years" on the dress with tiers topic.

Some of my fellow arthritis sufferers refer to them as the "rusty years" or the Rice Krispy years. Whenever we move our joints go "snap, crackle and pop."

My joints always did pop. I was always referred to as "double jointed".

Pops and creaks are percussion to the tinnitus orchestra.

@ALRATIBA I have often heard the "golden years" as the snapdragon years.

What doesn't snap is draggin!

I relate to all the comments. I have many aches and pains, doctors are my social life and my energy level is low more times than high! On the positive side, I have wonderful friends and a great family who make me forget about the aches and pains and that puts the gold in my golden years!!!!

Golden Years - no such thing. They do not exist. I call these the tarnished years, nothing shines anymore, nothing pretty or sparkly about these years as I go on.

@chrystaltree I had also heard it called stiff or achy joints. This past year.... my shoulders have both started to pop. I do upper body and lower body stretches almost every day of my life and I am still popping. I may be wrong, but from what I am seeing with friends and family...more "stuff" starts happening in your 70's.
