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.

You have MS but it's "in-active"

You don't need DMD's, it's "in-active"

You don't need me, "it's "in-active"

It's overdosing that causes your symptoms

In-active MS does not cause symptoms

             on the flip side...

"In-active" MS does not really exist

MS is always doing some damage

You need DMD's you have MS

You need a new doctor now

You need a new neurologist now

Why not get a new doctor?

Laughed so hard I peed myself

Word cog fog? No, not me!

Not Multiple Sclerosis, only one lesion

Thank you doctor, I'll grow more

Got new symptoms? It's just anxiety

Could'nt do these at first, but

Strike the seven word Limbo phrase.

Three times and I'll get it right.

We will conquer the Limbo pain.

Okay, then, Miss Smarty Pants. Sheesh!

Limbo pain must be gone now!

I stand humbly and rightly corrected.

Quizzle must share laureate with others!

Sorry, but I have no money

I have to "bailout the rich"


I love you more than life

seems without you I have nothing

Multiple Sclerosis must be a boogeyman

giving is much easier than helping


when closing my eyes I fall


Leisions, gray matter does not count

because they dont' show on MRI

DJ - thanks for the effort.  Your every word makes a difference to us and those groups of six words are great to read. You actually may be Q's assistant in the Laureate position.  

Q- ooops! you got a seven worder in there.  Isn't this more fun than counting lesions?

Everyone else - please join the activity circle -  its like craft time with scouts except without the glue sticks.  Tons of Fun!!!
