Does anyone else experience this

I’m getting over shingles and I am tired a lot. I’m not getting out much with the cold weather and yet still feeling exhausted. I’m thinking I need to get a cleaner and gardening help for the first time ever. My DH is also slowing up and he is 70. We have both noticed a difference. We both have daytime naps, which we didn’t used to do. It’s worrying.

I’m blaming the change in temperature (plus anno domini!)
Just as a change to hot weather wipes me out, this cold snap has brought me right down- tired, tearful, grumpy, hungry and listless.
I walk Rosie every afternoon and while I am out I do feel better but as soon as I get back indoors I just want to eat and sleep! Let’s face it a generation or so ago we would have been old ladies sitting in our rocking chairs and crocheting antimacassars (whatever they are)
I think there is no harm in giving in a bit to fatigue or apathy as long as it doesn’t dominate your life. A cup of tea and a piece of cake with a friend should be available on the NHS for us.

The cold weather has stopped me in my tracks - I haven’t been for my daily walk today.

I am also 76 and get very tired, I try to keep walking each day but two injuries to my right foot have put a stop to that at present.i try to do all the important things in the morning. DH 80, we try to get out and about but I am afraid the cold weather has slowed us right down.

No henetha - stay in your own home as long as possible, if you have people (paid or unpaid) to help with the housework etc . I’ve got a few years yet, but that’s what I intend to do. My neighbour and I were just saying that if the stairs got too difficult, we would have a stair lift installed. Things like that. But who knows what the future holds ?

Yes. At 86 life is getting more difficult.
I went to a lovely event yesterday but had to leave half way through as my back was so painful that it made me feel faint and nauseous. And I'm so tired most of the time.
Is it time to give in and go into a 'home' I wonder.

Was brought up to believe positivity , determination, mind-over-matter were good things but at 70 I still can't get over how tired I feel sometimes.I get the odd stiff hip and arm from historic injuries also. They are worse some days than others so no I am not the same every day.I find I have to pace myself so an active week last week I have to pay for through more tiredness this week. Comes with the territory I think

I know those feelings too overthehill I think hollysteers is right. It's a case of the spirit being willing but the flesh weak. Make the most of the good days.

I’m your age and experience the same. It’s frustrating as I’m reasonably active with a full diary, but sometimes just feel too tired to make the effort to go to things I have planned. The mind is willing, but the body is weak.

I have to pace myself and it can be one day off, one day on. I’m not giving in and staying at home however.
Two bouts of cancer, hernia, bad back have to be taken into consideration, but I’m afraid it’s just getting older and I’m glad to be here👍
