Me, with my FIL tonight. Sent him an email with an attached XML file and I can't for the life of me get him to save the file to his desktop. He keeps double clicking it and telling me it isn't working.

Hell, I can't even sit down without having to sit down first.

Been knocked out of riding for the better part of a month with this damn vertigo issue. Yesterday I got back on the bike and knocked out a 22 mile ride with no problems. Today I went to repeat the ride and ran out of gas after 5 miles or so. I still completed 14 miles, but it wasn't easy. I was doing 100+ miles per week at 20-25 miles per day almost every day at my peak last year and I kept up 100 mile/week on the trainer over the winter. But a month with only 4 rides really set me back. I've still been walking 3 miles every day even with the vertigo, but just being off the bike for most of a month has had a huge impact on my stamina. I can't imagine how tough it would be to come back if I were to catch COVID-19 or have some other issue where I was completely laid up for weeks.
As I'm always telling Wifey, it sux getting old, but at least it beats the alternative.

When I got to the stairs, I went up *three* steps, turned around, went back down...and then did it a second time by my own choice to show that the first time wasn't a fluke. I then walked back to my room, flopped into the bed, and told the PT and nurse that I'd be ready for discharge the next day because that walk took every ounce of energy and determination that I could muster for today. Once I got home, I was using a Hurry-cane for the next month or so until I had enough stamina to walk unaided. All y'all have no idea what it's like to navigate the house in a sequence of "kamakazi dashes" between doorways, where you could hug the wall/frame until you had recovered enough energy to make the next hop along your route.....

Your underlying cause may be much deeper or more difficult to control, but, you are a physically active person and probably your thirst isn't screaming out that you need water because of your conditioning.

This was meant to respond to M_Six's post as he was the one does the serious bicycling, although the dehydration thing could apply to you.
Danger of reading posts on a small phone and being old.

My ticker literally drowned itself in retained fluid, and I am on near-lethal doses of diuretics (aka: vitamin pee) with a 1.5 liter per day total fluid restriction. Can't go outside for more than a minute or two without the very real risk of crossing the dehydration line. I went from someone who would walk 5+ miles a day on weekends and swap 16 tires on/off my race car into somebody who can't even break three lug bolts before retreating to the house for a 20 minute break.
I peed out 58 pounds (7+ gallons) of water over six weeks in the hospital a few years ago, and left with 15% ticker function (EF) and a 24/7 portable IV infusion of heart meds (7-pound albatross hanging around my neck) for over two years. I don't wish either of these on even my worst enemy.....

My vertigo is not from dehydration, although maybe that would aggravate the problem if I let it. I'm very careful about taking in enough fluids. My issue is Benign Positional Vertigo. Just part of getting old, I guess. It'll clear up and maybe flare up again some day. Who knows. For now it only bothers me when I roll over in bed or when I first wake up. I just need to be careful about turning my head while bending over for anything.

If you play out in the heat enough to really acclimate, your thirst won't kick in to let you know you need fluid. But in keeping with this thread, it didn't happen when I was young so it is an old farts' problem.

And this vertigo thing is very much an Old Fart problem. Just one more thing no one told you about when you were younger.

This last episode was .kidney failure. Went into the hospital at 214lbs, came out around 165lbs. I've been working with him on his diet, and he's down to 150lbs even. His EF was low, but improved after getting the water off. I have him doing more endurance work now trying to improve things. But he will be on dialysis for the rest of his life. I guess that's why I'm so obsessed about my health with diet and exercise. My family's genetics aren't in my favor, so I've always made sure to try and stay in shape although some could argue I go overboard. But I can see the same pattern already developing in my younger brother.....and I'm constantly on his case about it

I think I'm getting old, when I'm starting to like the chrome trim on certain cars, instead of full black out. Caught myself thinking that it looked "classy"
