In my early 20s, I got tinnitus even though in the rare occasion I’m around loud noises I wear hearing protection.

In my mid-late 20s, my vision got worse after never needing glasses and my knees starting creaking with occasional pain. I now need some more involved dental work even though I brush and floss regularly.

I’ve lived a predominantly outdoor, active lifestyle the last several years, so I should be quite well off health-wise, but it still feels like I’m aging faster than I should be. wtf?

    Wait until you reach 40. At some point you simply accept (and expect) occasional pain and other issues coming and going as they like.

      This. I entered my forties feeling pretty good physically, no real complaints. I’m leaving my forties feeling like just getting through a day without something new going wrong is a major victory.
