To all MSers – including limbo-landers, friends from overseas and those who have had their diagnosis changed!
MS at Christmas 
Christmas is here
Santa Claus and good cheer,
but for us with MS
it can be full of stress.
So much to be done
with fatigue it’s no fun,
both Holly and Ivy
wishing we were more lively!
It’s hard when our legs
don’t work like they did,
when vision is blurry
and fingers jig-jig.
It’s hard when it’s painful
numb, twitchy and buzzy,
it’s hard when our thoughts
and emotions are fuzzy.
But you have no need to fear
because we are all here,
sharing our stories
fighting ‘reforms’ from the Tories!
We shout and we laugh
and we cry and we cheer,
be it bladder or bowels
it’s all discussed here.
We talk about kids,
about sex
about love,
we look over the edge
and to the stars up above.
So listen up friends
from John O’Groats to Land’s End,
we are all here together
like birds of a feather,
to support and befriend
with good wishes to send.
Whoever you are
and wherever you be,
you are special to us
your MS family.
Love and peace this Christmas,
Pat x
