When I was gainfully employed, oh so long ago, I did an annual carol around the Holidays for fellow staff members in my Social Services Department. You might guess that these songs were less than serious, and, I will admit, just a bit snarky. You can click on the actual song name to see a You Tube version of the classic.
So you have been warned. Here we go....
"The First Lesion" (The First Noel)
The first lesion,
my neuro did say,
was attacking the mylar
in my brain that day.
In my brain a cure
it then did creep,
And destroyed all the MS
whilst I did sleep.
No way, No way,
No way, No way,
Pharma won't do it
unless it will pay....

"A Great Bi-polar Christmas" (Holly Jolly Christmas)
Have a great bipolar Christmas
It's the worst time of the year
People share
that they don't care
Why you live in stress and fear.
Have a nice bipolar Christmas
Is it manic or depressed?
Drugs or booze
May help you lose
And send home all your guests.
Oh, gee, is that for me?
No, no not again
Advice that's meant as nice
"Lazy," says Aunt Gwen
Have a great bipolar season
And I have to make it clear
I'm just heading
Under my bedding
So wake me next year!

"It's beginning to look a lot like MS" (It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas)
It's beginning to look a lot like MS
Every time I walk
Take a trip to the left or right
Not sleeping through the night
And now I can't remember how to talk
It's beginning to look a lot like MS
Pain in every cell
Taking drugs for this and that
Emotions still are flat
And the Holidays might just as soon be hell
A shot of Betaseron just once more and gone
is the wish of Bonnie and Ben
An MRI free of lesions to see is the hope
of Tom M. and friends
And my neuro wants me to go and not come back again
It's beginning to look a lot like MS
Though for me no drugs
So the peace that I must find
Rests just solely in my mind
and my dear ones hugs.

That's it. I might do more, he said as an idle threat. Recent events have certainly shown the need for greater access to mental health treatment. I have a feeling that will be a big part of the support group meeting tomorrow.
Over 2000 hits. Thank you all very much. More to come. Peace. Remember the children.
