Yes, I'm right in there with you. I'm now in my 31st year, but since I'm 73, I started a good deal later. And yes, they seem to be stretching out as I get older, but I don't think I notice them getting any eaier. Maybe the other way around. Then again, sometimes I think that I'm just becoming a wimp and can't take it any more. I have trouble keeping my mouth shut, so all the theatrical moaning and groaning that I indulge in becomes public and it distresses the hell out of my poor wife. I didn't used to do that.
I went to see a neuro for the first time last year and mentioned that I had heard these things sometimes just die out in old age, and very dryly, maybe even a little brightly, he said, "Not necessarily."
Just what I wanted to hear most.
