I haven't been particularly bothered by any birthday, yet. I had a terrible introduction to my 50s-- I was very, very sick and took a sick day. It wasn't a good birthday, but it wasn't particularly difficult for me. It's really that it's just...weird. I still find myself thinking sometimes "I can't believe I'm in my 50s", or "I can't believe I'm 15 years older than my good friend so-and-so".

I am 57. My mom died when she was 59 (I was only 23). I think it will be a little hard to turn 60, because she didn’t. But, I will also be happy that I’m still alive!

My BFF's mom died at age 52 of lupus. Our bdays are only a day part. on my bday she got very sick, and ended up taking an ambulance to a hospital, and almost dying on her bday. When she would have been 52. She was always very healthy before that happened. ex's. takes no med's. It was a freak deal, and very very coincidental and freaky

Birthdays really haven't bothered me. Getting old lately sucks though. I have been having severe GI issues and not figured out yet. Found out more info on my fibroids and if sounds like a hysterectomy is in my future as they may be causing my issues. I had my gallbladder out almost three weeks ago and am waiting to hear from a GI specialist. So I may be having a colonoscopy and endoscopy and hysterectomy yikes. I'm not happy about it but I need to be able to eat right now almost everything is causing distress. The only good us that I have lost almost 20 pounds in 2 months. I just want to be pain free again.
I am 52 and still having horrible periods but never know when they will come. I had hoped to avoid a hysterectomy but now wish I had it done years ago since it seems inevitable at this point. I had hoped my fibroids would shrink but nope they are getting bigger. Going in next week to find out more.
I am hoping to get everything under control and start enjoying life again. I might have IBS or something but not sure if it's the fibroids causing some of the issues or if they are just exasperating things.
Turing 30 was kind of hard 40 I had a little one and 50 I was just too busy to really let it bug me. I think 55 might be hard but hoping to be in a lot better shape than I am now. I found a local group of women that are all 50+ and hope to start doing more with them soon.
