saw this quote on Patient F/book page. that i thought on a lovely sunny sunday morning bought a. smile.. : Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.very true. Dave
Hi david, how very true, I admit I am getting old but also admit that I have never really grown up, this i find very useful these days as I seem to find a funny side to most things which helps with PMR. All the very best.
Good quote but in my case started PMR journey aged 45.Mind you (I am now 57) a true elderly lady asked if I needed her to carry my shopping bag onto the bus for me.I was grateful but politely declined.I was having a rough day and she was trying to be kind which I appreciated.I know I am white haired and use a stick but she made me feel 100 LOL☺
Hello gillian I am a true owed un, so my heart goes out to you&others of a youger age with this strange illness.I found through the really dark times that being with the young ones of the family helped me through it. at times I had to pay the price of kicking a football about in the park,but for me A/O. I wish you and others well. Take Care. Dave
Too true! My children are always telling me to grow up! I just say I'm getting my own back - what goes round, comes round! Anyway, in my head I'm still 18 not 68.
Definitely true!!
I recently saw this one, which made me laugh. It was written for me!!
"Due to an intense mind fog, all of my thoughts have been grounded until further notice"
David/Jean, well EVERYONE, don't you just love this forum?😄😄
It's what I try to live by. And as my husband sometimes says to himself "don't let the old man in" .
Remember the poem "when I'm old, I shall wear purple" :-)
Yep! :-)
I always do my best to try all the tasters in the supermarket...
Hi David, I might be completely wrong as I have had flare ups as well. Don't think it is down to age but maybe the illness itself needs the steroids to be put up? I am 59 and had this problem for two years and as much as I don't want to put steroids up for the third time maybe I just have to swallow the pill. Regards X
Or do a bit less. It is difficult to know - you may be able to reduce while the autoimmune disorder is realtively quiescent but need more if it becomes more active. However, my experience is that not too many doctors think of that possibility.
Hi angela. I am believe you girls have more of struggle with this journey. I have found when posting it can be hard with short posts that one comes a cross as making light of what others are going through,I am now on Zero pred but still have other health problems.I find the best way for me is to give myself a good Kick up the back side so to speak in the morning and make the best of my day.just to add with out info from the likes of Eileen and the other Tshirt girls i would not have made it to Zero.Slowly does it angela take Care.Dave
I am sure no one thought you were making light of things. To be honest laughing at yourself is one way of coping.I felt 100 when a really elderly lady offered to carry my bag onto the bus (the drivers who know me always automatically lower the bus floor so I can get on)but everyone means well
I agree. I may not recognize the person I see in the mirror but my spirit thinks it can do anything, then my body says NO!! I love life even though it has changed. Frankly, everyting changes for everyone. I would rather have my challenges than the challenges of others who face much greater adversity than I. The best to all of you. Linda
All of you and this forum has meant the world to me through my journey with PMR since January. Don't know what i'd do without all of you.
Hi David, I appreciate what you have said but pain is pain! I don't think it is a case of a kick up the ***. If we are feeling pain then we have to address it. Hark at me trying to avoid putting my steroids up for the third time. It's not our fault we have this but we have to support each other. I'll give you a kick if you will do the same for me! None of us likes it x
Hee Hee! We give each other virtual hugs, kisses, so why not kicks?😄😄
True as there are lot of people in the world worse off.We should count our blessings and be thankful we have the NHS and for us younger ones prepayment certificates. Goodnight and hope for a better day tomorrow
think that could get a bit out of hand constance, hugs,kisses followed by kicks,BUT!? Take Care. DAVE
