When did you start noticing a difference?

    Mid 30s.

    I get maybe a cold or two per year, which last around 3 days.

    And apart from some bruises and small cuts I haven’t been injured in decades.

    I’d say no change so far.

      i get bronchitis after a cold or flu, last about a week, only 1 time it last 3 weeks. its seems more likely if you have chronic allergies. i had covid recently, oddly it dint cause coughing/sneezing like with colds or flu. it only caused coughing because of the sputum(infected) from the lungs. if i get colds back to back, the bronchitis is more severe.(like right after another cold. it happened twice, both before pandemic and at the beginning of it.

      anti-histamines significantly reduces most of the symptoms, hence why cold and flu medicine works, its because of the antihistamines. i think its more effective than dextromorphan.

      I’m from an area where colds/flus are more common and I haven’t noticed a change with those yet either. I noticed a small difference in recovery from knee injuries in my late twenties compared to my teens, but I know that’s not bad yet.

      Well done on not being injured for decades! I don’t think that’ll ever be true for me, lol.

      Same, but with one caveat, sports.

      I was never much into sports, but always did some sport in my childhood. In my late teens or early twenties, I stopped doing sports all together. I picked it back up at 28/29 and have build some decent strength and stamina since. Now I’m 35 and I notice it takes a bit longer to recover from a heavy workout. Also there’s other places that start hurting after a tough workout, like my back and knees.
