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.

They are labeling this six word memoir style the American response to Japanese haiku - I think we should nominate you as the poet laureate.  And it is a great mental exercise because six requires more than one hand to count on.  ha ha

Great contributions - sorry, but I have to use more than six to say all this. - Lulu

Ah, you're just egging me on!

I can't refuse a great compliment.

Anything to make you all laugh.

Nothing's too good for my friends.

Need to relieve the pain of Limbo.

Kick the dododocs to the curb!

They're lazily ignorant when they say:

CT scans are fine for diagnosis.

Your eyes look fine. No MS.

You don't really want an LP.

I can't go chasing a diagnosis.

Come back when you're wheelchair bound.

You don't really want a diagnosis.

Wait for worsening before we treat.

Lesions must change in two months.

People with MS have more symptoms.

You have far too many symptoms.

The MRI must match our diagnosis!

:)) Poet Laureate thinking six words thoughts.

Quix, Den Mother, having fun now.
