The Healthy Geezer: What exactly is arthritis?

It seems to me that arthritis is a catch-all term for all kinds of aches and pains. What exactly is arthritis? Arthritis, which comes in more than 100 different forms, is inflammation of the joints. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout are the three most common forms of arthritis among seniors. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent. None is contagious. Osteoarthritis You get osteoarthritis when cartilage—the  cushioning tissue within the joints—wears down. This produces stiffness and pain. The disease affects both men […]

The Healthy Geezer: memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease

I’m 78 and I'm forgetting things more often now. Should I be worried? For starters, worrying is a waste of time. If you think your forgetfulness is the sign of the onset of Alzheimer's, get to a doctor for a check-up. The scary truth is that Alzheimer’s begins with difficulty remembering the familiar—people, things, events. Or, you start having trouble doing simple arithmetic in your head. These annoyances are common to seniors with healthy brains, so most of us don’t […]

As we age, most of us start sprouting an array of unwanted growths. Let's go over the common ones: LIVER SPOTS: The official name for liver or age spots is “lentigines” from the Latin for “lentil.”  These are flat, brown with rounded edges and are larger than freckles.

The Healthy Geezer: Aches, pains and the colon

When seniors gather, it doesn't seem to take long before we get to our aches and pains. You must get more than your share of that. My friend, Pete, has instituted a colonoscopy rule. He insists that, if a bunch of us geezers are talking about aches, maladies and visits to the doctors, everyone has to change the subject as soon as someone uses the word colonoscopy. Usually we switch to grandchildren, which is a lot more fun. But, while […]
