My joints hurt. I'm around 30, and I beat the shit out of my body through my late teens-mid twenties. My joints feel like they're about 20 years older than the rest of me some days. Fun experiences for the most part, but I'm paying for those minor injuries piling up over the years.

Welcome to the club. Except I'm in my early twenties and never got to beat the shit out of my body, it did it all on its own. But still welcome, I recommend a heating pillow, a weight blanket and staying away from the cold and draft.

Weighted blanket was a game changer. I've always hated the cold, and my disgust with temperatures under 80°F grows with every passing year
