First to Frank....
That is SO messed up. Typical of the medical profession. (Tip: If you want to stay healthy stay away from doctors!) So ridding you of Hep C that you'd had for twenty years and where as healthy as a horse has made you sicker than you ever were. Welcome to medicine in america.
"Bloated? Take this little pill. Side affects are brain tumors, cancer, alzheimers and eventually death. But you'll die bloat free". Scary shit. I'm really sorry that you've gone through that. A trainer at my gym is going through the same fight. They said she's had it since her teens. She's a perfect physical specimen. I told her to keep doing what she's doing.
1. As for staying young, I think very often gay men have been given a benfit of a few years anyway. I was working last yer with this guy who told me, "Yeah, wait till you hit 30 man and then it's all down hill. You won't keep those abs then!" One of those little frozen momments in time that you savour for years to come. When he found out I was over 40....lol It seems that gay men get about a 10 year advantage over their straight counterparts....although that may just be because our competition stays higher...and well, kids will kill you ;-)
2. But we both also live very healthy lifestyles. Lots of exercise, eat really well don't take tons of medications and make sure we detox as well as we can. Taking care of yourself inside and out is important, and you need to start before you start falling apart. You can reverse a lot of damage, but it's better to start before it happens.
3. This is just opinion...but I think being in love and happy has kept me younger than anything else. Negativity brings your whole system down. All your body chemistry changes when you are angry or depressed. Happy people live and stay younger longer. As well, keeping fit and attractive for your partner. At least that is important for me. My sister and her husband stopped worrying about their looks as soon as the rings went on.... He said "I have her, what does it matter now?" I personaly find this disrepectful towards my mate.
Plus it's nice to be admired ;-)
But in todays toxic environement, we are bombarded by hundreds of foreign chemicals every single day that work to make us less healthy.
