Chronic venous insufficiency!

Why are they so concerned about his height?
Well people shrink as they age. The discs dehydrate as we age and if you lose a 16th inch in height per disk on average you lose more than an inch. People don't tend to measure their height much so when they self report it they tend to report the maximum height they reached. At my maximum height I was 6' 5" but I bet I'm closer to just 6' 4" these days. :laugh:

Now I'm curious...I'll have to see if I'm not 5'6" anymore...

I'm going to go check...;)
ETA : Maybe I was never 5'6'...the mark says a bit over 5'4"....lol
Women tend to lose a greater percentage of height than men do on average. ( It sucks I know.) Some loss of height also comes from increased curvature of the spine caused by increasing forward relaxation of the para-spinal erector muscles. (kyphosis)

And here I thought my spine was fine...
I'll add some more miles this week...walking and in the pool...;) Let me see if I can get back to at least 5'5'''...lol
 
Trump what’s been diagnosed.

If venous outflow disturbance exists it can turn the brain into a clogged toilet and potentially cause a cascade of neuro-catastrophic symptoms.
"cascade of neuro-catastrophic symptoms." Crazy Trump's mental decline maybe a sign that this is starting to happen.
