Old age


Posted: Aug 28, 2016

I'm 68 years old and have noticed that I'm starting to have more trouble with spelling. Is anyone else this age having the same kind of problem. ;

I'm 64 and I've noticed I've been having more trouble with the finer points of hearing what the dictators are saying. Still OK with the spelling, though.

My sister says I'm becoming deaf as a post, but I think part of the problem is we've had doctors yelling and coughing in our ears for years.

Am also age 68 (isn't it fun getting old)? Am not having trouble spelling per se but with me, I find my brain is directed in a certain direction and one second later, I don't have a clue what I was thinking about! It is not constant but happens several times during the day!

OMG, I have that too. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

I get that too, but it's been a constant since - I was a kid. Distractibility plus!

Maybe it's A.D.D.?

I take a supplement called ALA.  Since taking it, my speed and line count have increased by 100 lph and it has nothing to do with dictators or work type, etc., as it's still the same account, still same crappy dictators.  I stay focused, think clearly, don't forget stuff that I used to, have improved mood, concentration, and motivation.  It took about 3 weeks to become effective.  It's been used for Alzheimer's patients for years and it's wonderful.  It's available OTC and I get mine at Vitacost.  I'll never be without this.

It doesn't cause nervousness or anxiety and I've been sleeping a lot better too.  If you try it, I hope it works as well for you.

I was just reading up on this. It sure is interesting. I like to get things through Amazon, but I'm not sure which product is the better one at that site. What dosage do you take? TYIA.

The stuff I take has - sm

Acetyl L-Carnitine 1000 mg and Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg, recommended to take 2 capsules a day.  I take 1 capsule in the morning and that's it.  Hint to save yourself some money, look up whatever brand you want on Amazon and buy it on eBay with free shipping.  :-)  I use this ALA in Vitacost's brand, it works well and sometimes I get a Bogo.

But getting older is better than the alternative.
