I was diagnosed in 2008
With this thing called PPMS
I’d never cope Jim without you
Daughter Lucy and son-in Law Simon too
This monster is an awful thing
Pain and suffering it does bring
Pills do help a little bit
It sure is a miss or hit
Whether they work or not
But that is all I have got
It’s hard to know what the day will bring
I will either cry or maybe sing
The electric shocks in my head
Sometimes send me of to bed
My bladder doesn’t’t know when to pee
Near a toilet I must be
Legs don’t work and are very heavy
Medication means no bevy
Drop foot and spongy feet I feel
Feel like walking on eggshells oh so real
Fatigue has a big part to play
It differs from day to day
I need my stick to get around
Without it I would fall on the ground
I need my Rollator and wheelchair too
Without them both I would be so blue
And as Jim and Lucy they push me all about
Only for them I would not go out
I have the wobbles and balance problems too
This MS monster I am sick of you
Please leave me be for at least a day
So I can just live normally
Thank you
