Has anyone else noticed their energy levels change as they've got older?

Yep I’ve been so tired since I went on weight loss injections. I can’t wait to go to bed at night. Then I find I am over tired & can’t sleep.

I used to be like the Duracell bunny, still rushing around when everyone else had collapsed exhausted. Now, at 82, and hour or two of moderate effort - and that is it for the day or I will be exhausted the following day.

I find this so frustrating bcause my mind has not caught up with my body and as I lie in bed in the morning, I plan a day of activity: getting some cleaning done, do some painting (we are doingup our down-sized propert)y, then plan shopping and gardening and a quiet evening making curtains.

When I go to bed, and of those 5 activities, I will have managed 2, the rest of the day I am sat around recovering from the items I have done.

Monica - snap

I'm OK day to day at home doing ordinary activities but find I'm shattered and with no energy if I'm on holiday. I suppose I do more on holiday but I'm embarrassed at how feeble I seem.

Me too monica lots of plans I make for the following day regarding household chores. Achieving one or two and that's me worn out. Changing the bed and putting on a fresh duvet leaves me exhausted. I find having athritis in the hands a real problem for doing that particular job

I don’t have anywhere near the energy I once had. After a busy day I need to rest the following day. It’s frustrating. I don’t want to spend much time in company any more either. A couple of hours is about my limit.

I am pleased if I get one task done per day when once I could carry on until I dropped.
There ought to be a happy medium.

I'd give my right arm for energy, that disappeared when I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid. I remember my late mother lamenting "something's missing, vitality" well she was in her eighties at the time. I've felt that increasingly for the past 20 years or so early 70s now. I have my afternoon sit down to watch Escape to the Country...I'm usually gone by house number 2

Is anybody surprised?
Of course our energy levels aren’t what they were.
It’s called ageing and every organism does it.
