MS in six words

At work we were discussing "Not Quite What I was Plannng" a book filled with memoirs, all written in six words.

It is a fun exercise in thinking in brief yet meaningful thoughts.  Here's a few that I wrote -


Who really wants the whole story?

Just the facts: born, lived, died.

So I was wondering if we might do the same with MS and describe our lives as MS patients in six words?  I hope you will add your six-words worth here. Here's two more from me:

Crawled. Walked. Ran.  Stumbled. Race over.

Independent yet needy.  Grateful for friends.

Words from the guys with MD's:

You just need some more exercise,

Then you will strengthen right up.

You can't remember, write it down,

Just buy a few post-it notes.

Your legs are a little numb,

They seem just fine to me.

You are tired all the time,

Go to bed a little earlier.

You can't walk, here's some crutches.

You can't see, here's some glasses.

You have MS, there's no cure.

Here's a wheelchair for next year...

Well, Shell, ma belle, do tell:

If ya don't like this relapse

there is always the next one.

Each promises to be new, improved

though familiar in the cr ap arriving.

Sit back and enjoy the ride!

I'm typing and I can't shut up!

I saw this on a T-shirt.

Great description of my MS life.

"Moving at 33rpm in iPod world."

Let's see more contributions from others.

Off to see cardiologist with mother.

Later. Lots of Newbies around today.

Wow! You are a creative bunch.

Thanks for sharing your insightful viewpoints.

MS stinks but could be worse.

We could publish our own book.

Loving it here, my best. Lulu
