Pain, I would love to have my body back to full health.

I have to agree with the answer above...chronic, constant pain..from headaches! Chronic pains sucks your energy dry. At 66, I am fully able to do whatever I want or can, but there are days when little gets done due to a very bad night of headaches....such a waste of time, and truthfully, at my age, I am in a hurry to get many things done...I don't have the time to waste. When a person lives in chronic pain and deals with it, even a small pain added to it can drive you over the edge. Add joint pain, back pain, and day-to-day pain to headaches, and you have one mess on your hands...I cannot shut done, for I have to run a business, I have to be "up" and "bright," but I will tell you, there are days when it takes all I can find to be like this....not complaining one bit, for many here have it so much worse. Just making a statement to a hypothetical question. Peace and love in life, Phil

All of my aches and pains.
EDIT: I just read the answers above and boy are we all in the same boat. I also get those headaches to go along with everything else. They are horrible. I leave for a short cruise Monday morning and my back has been so sore and painful I am worried it might go out on me and cripple me up. I don't want to miss my cruise or be on it and have it happen. I am being very careful with it.

That I could quit thinking about getting older. It doesn't hit me often any more like it used to but once in awhile I start thinking about how many years that I possibly have left and it depresses me. I have learned to be gratefull for all that I have now, how happy I am, how thankful I am to have such a wonderful, loving family etc. But......once in awhile the thoughts slip in and it makes me very sad. Wish the thoughts would NEVER come to visit me.

My allergies/chemical sensitivities. It affects every area of my life, everything I want to do and everywhere I want to go. If I get into something I'm sensitive to I get a terrible migraine and vomiting spell that can last 2-3 days. This has really changed my life.

The addictions my son has. True, they are his problem but they are a burden to the rest of the family.

My partners insecurities! He questions me all the time when I am on here. All I am doing is Q and A but he obviously thinks I am doing something sneaky.
If I am trying to word an answer he constantly keeps talking so I have to keep rethinking. He obviously doesn't have my full attention and he can't deal with it. It drives me mad. He has been talking all the way through this so, if it doesn't make sense, it's his fault!

My answer is twofold: physical aches and pains and mental pain. That is, the anguish felt when loved ones depart this life. As we age this is a universal fact everyone will face.

Health issues as well. I want the energy and bounce I had when I was younger, and no days of feeling just plain wiped out for no reason.
