Hi Mike and that's so true; I'm 68 also and my hubby use to tell me when I told him I was tired that that was the big 60; a few years back, so now we young oldies have to realize some of our symptoms could be ageing.  I think also all of us have to realize we have leukemia and leukemia itself has many affects on the body.
