Of a woman is 84.
The average life span of a woman with schizoaffective is 17 years less than the general population.
I can deal with that.

I probably have another 10 years if I’m lucky.

I’m worried about your preoccupation of dying young. Are you planning on killing yourself when all of your kids have graduated high school or college?

No I’m not but I’m not really concerned about health.
It’s probably the darn medications

One of my worries is that I’ll live to 84. I can’t do anything too nasty to my body like start smoking or eat pure lard, for karmic reasons, and my schizophrenia is getting really manageable thanks to Lion’s mane, so I might actually make it.
I have a handle on stopping heart disease (Linus Pauling’s Lysine therapy can clear arterial plaques and reverse heart disease non-invasively,) and the Budwig protocol shows promise in reversing cancer, plus there is supposedly a “cancer vaccine” being developed (specific to the person), so I feel if I just don’t do anything too stupid like go skydiving or jaywalk, 84 seems very possible.

The 17 years accounts for people who commit suicide and die young. You will probably live longer than that but if I was really concerned about longevity myself I would quit smoking.
Something has to kill us. Sz is not going to do it on its own.
I am getting a new shrink next week. Maybe this one won’t have me get an EKG every six months and scare the hell out of me like the last one did. I quit Geodon cold turkey last year because he said my EKG was bad. Turns out it was perfectly normal. But that was a rough 5 days.
My grandfather just died last year. I am almost 50. He was nearly 90. One of my grandmothers made it to 93. She got the flu and her body couldn’t fight it. Other than that she was healthy as a horse. My grandfather had prostate cancer and refused treatment or he would have probably lived longer.

I was supposed to be dead ten years ago if you go by the actuarial tables. I’m not. Just gotta keeping going until the day you aren’t and not worry too much about it.

I read some more. It said that most early deaths were heart disease or lung cancer or diabetes. Very few were suicides. Anyway it doesn’t really matter. We die when the powers that be decide it is time.

I have schizoaffective and am female and have already read about the 17 years less on average. I never really looked forward to getting old anyways.

84 -17=
67!
That is really young.
That is sad indeed.
I HOPE I live longer. But longer health span too not just lifespan.
I don’t want to take statins and things like that.
I’ve never been too keen on meds. I do feel greatful they exist of course…
