Fatigue, Have Bone On Bone In Knees. Diagnosed Ocular Migraines, Throat Cancer Survivor. Losing Saliva Glands. Help?

I am 65 years old, male, 185 pounds, and work on the average of 50 to 60 hours per week on my job. Over the past year, I have become increasingly fatigued. It s seems that when I get home from work these days, I just don t feel like doing much else. I own my home and it sits on one acre of ground, which takes a lot of care. Lately however, I have been letting things go. My doctor has said my knees are bone on bone , and I have been diagnosed with ocular migraines and migraines, over the past six months. I have maybe a beer or mixed drink almost every evening, after work. Most times I don t even want to go out and work in the yard anymore, but I push myself. This is totally uncommon for me. I recently had blood work done, an MRI of my brain, and a lung x-ray. I am a throat cancer survivor (2002). That year, I went through extensive treatments and surgeries. My doctors at that time told me that, during my treatments, I had aged ten years. I don t know. Is that possible. Due to losing my saliva glands from the radiation, I am fighting a continuing battle to restore and keep my teeth. I m sorta loosing on that front. I just want to get my energy back, so I feel like doing things again. Jesse Davidson

Hi, you are aged 65years, so there will be defeciency of the testosteron, and increase of the estrogen, which may cause different changes in the body. anemia also may be the cause. lastly there could be some metastasis of the cancer.
So i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis.
Besides i advise you to take juice of palatable vegetables like tomato, carrot, and beet root etc three times a day. Thank you.
