I was diagnosed with HL in 1986 at 14 years old.
I am now 52.
In the last couple of years I have noticed that I'm not aging as well as my peers.
I have a lot of joint pain, been diagnosed with COPD, a hiatus hernia (I presume from throwing up a lot), dyspepsia and I have battled depression and low mood all my life (it started a couple of months into treatment and was like a door opening in my mind that I could never close).
I find that I often have little energy or run out of energy quickly.
It isn't debilitating but the joint pain and lack of energy are starting to effect my life.
Is it likely to be accelerated ageing?
As a teenager I was told that I was unlikely to live past my early 60s, that is now alarmingly close.
I eat well and exercise moderately.
Thank you for any response.
