A Christmas PMR Poem

Polymyalgia after 2 years……………. December 2017
At Christmas Miss Poly will be two years old
Mr Pred who’s the steroid, he helps with the load
I’m now down to 8 which proved very slow
And the drop for one week leaves me feeling quite low
There’s only one answer to keep me pain free
Take two thirds in bed and one third after tea
I’m lucky I guess, Mr Pred does his stuff
He works really hard then I don’t feel too rough
And when I bounce back from the horrible drop
I’m out and about and I try not to stop
I see all my friends, try to have a good time
But I’m careful to cut down carbs, sugar and wine
And as I drop down I am hoping to see
A gradual improvement and find the old me
And eventually make it to down under 5
And feel almost normal, be completely alive
So all of us must live with eternal hope
And battle the demon and try hard to cope
Remember that star burns up high in the sky
So we mustn’t complain and ask reasons why
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and a Happy New Year
Let’s all face the future with cheer and less fear
We’ll raise glasses high and give a High Five
And just thank the Lord we are all still alive

Love it!
We had a colleague who reckoned that past 40 if you woke up with no pain you must be dead. So is that a positive aspect of PMR - you don't have to get up and read the obituary page to check you are still alive?
