An alternative explanation for PMR - from the 'Professor'..

[markbenjamin57]

Greetings all

I expect that many here, like myself, are asking 'why me?' and searching for an explanation of the PMR process and how it affects us physiologically and psychologically.

In my research, I remembered some of the wise words from the eccentric 'Professor', the late Sir Stanley Unwin, who always had an entertaining twist on anything medical or technical. If he were alive today, I think he would explain PMR something like this:

'Poly Mygod Rheuminaceous is a baffly, much hurtyfold ailful affecting the big musculars of the bodywork and resulting in deeply woefulness. Its cause is largely unknowfully mysterifold and many doctors scratchly their headfulls when attempting to reach a diagonal nonsense. Some say it's due to Stressly, others say Hasslelode, others say Virulent Conbobulations - it's all dependful.

Basically, with PMR and the powerfully cortlodes that treat it (Prednilode), the body's previously mirthful and brightly adrenal glandfuls are mangled into submissiveness and stop respondingly to the pitta tooter gland which lurky deepful in the damply, darkode area of the brainlode known as the London Coliseum. Deeply mangly, jangly and much confusingful for the poorly soul who sufferly - and more besidelode

When reducingly the cortlodes on the Deadly Slowly Nearly Stoppy methodful, it is commonly to experience symptoles such as deadlyful dire and tiredly, extreme frazzlyness and emoty feelies such as glumly, sadly, badly and greatly ungladly (or even madly). These can last from a few hourlies to several dahlias and nightshades, and the best adviceful is to resty muchly and do soothyful hobbies such as quietful knittingly - or even pre-meditated.

The goodly, uppy news is that, for manyful PMR sufferlies, the jangleful, sadly badly experilodes will eventually submingle to those of a more brightly, smiley happilode - and excitey thinkies about getting back to normlode (whatever that is when it's at homely!).

Deep joy and keep smiley..

I LOVE YOUR POSTS. Seriously, you need to write a kids book,❤️

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Zacsmimi]

Ah, bless, thanks you Zacsmimi :-). It would be more fun than being a management consultant..!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to markbenjamin57]

Hi,

My son was one of them once - until he saw the light!

As you know, always smiley - in the genes - maiden name Miles, first name Sue. No chance of being otherwise! Now happilodily normlode, well as much as ever!

[Rokerman in reply to DorsetLady]

Your name was SMiles?!

Could've been worse DL - my Mum insisted that she went to school with a girl named Norah Bone and my elder brother once went out with a girl called Dawn Fogg!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Rokerman]

Yes, and not the only one, my two brothers have daughters whose first names all start with S!

Weird family or what!

Excellenty,

Gosh, no chance of skimming through that one. "Deeply mangly, jangly" - love it, although I think it may have scrambled my poor brain!

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Celtic]

Many thanks Celtic, don't scramblode the brainful woefully though

[Celtic PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to markbenjamin57]

Brilliant! Although I don't think I can scramblode it much more than it is already!

[Pat9442]

Thank you Mark. Especially as you,posted this on a day when my 'previously mirthful and brightly' mangled adrenal glands have gone into crisis mode and I am very unwell indeed. Hanging on by my fingertips but at least you made me smile

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Pat9442]

Hang on in there Pat, a smile can be very therapeuticful

[polkadotcom]

The Sir, when unknown to the direful peeples as @Proffesions, would be proudly mirthfully of you. Virulent Congombulations is where I'm at.

[Polywotsit PMRGCAuk team member]

Brilliant Mark! How about PMRGCAuk publishing it in the next newsletter? What do you say?

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Polywotsit]

Many thanks Kate

This comedy stuff comes to me out-of-the-blue (and usually when I'm feeling more 'brightly'). Yes, would be delighted and honoured for it and any other of my humorous (I say that advisedly) ramblings here to be aired on PMRGCAuk if suitable - especially as I'm trying to gain some profile as a writer on the Lighter Side of Life (more fun than management consulting!). If it makes people smileyfold, all the better.

Of course, the piece is a sort of plagiarised version of Stanley Unwinspeak, so I thought he should get some of the credit at least.

Thanks again for your lovely feedback

[SheffieldJane]

Oh bless you! Just feelingly tearie up sad full my selfie then seeing your post full felt smilie eyes again. Thankful muchly. 😊

[Nannie-C]

Excellently!! Describes it well! Remember him on the TV, very clever man

[Hidden]

I too like your post, but I think you might need to consolt a phycodologit. Keep up the goodlyworkold Mark.

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Hidden]

Many thanks PeTee - do you mean a phycodologit or a trick cyclist?

[Hidden in reply to markbenjamin57]

Anyone who can help us through this gastymold complainty

[Mary63]

Mark, this needs to become a book. Please keep writing...amusing, hilarious posts...keep going. Thanks so much for all your posts

[markbenjamin57 in reply to Mary63]

Thank you so much for your feedback, Mary63 :-). To be honest, it's been my long-standing ambition to be a 'writer' who can use words creatively to amuse people, at the same time as taking a more serious point of view on this topic - and others.

Yours, and others' feedback from my recent posts is like gold-dust to me. It makes me feel that I have something in my soul that's at least entertaining to others - and contributes to the forum at the same time that we share our more serious problems. Much mirthfully giggleness and joy in the meantime!

Sincere thanks to you and a few others here who have prompted me to start writing that long-overdue (by 20 years or so!) book.

Maybe Mark, weirdly, this is just what you need to make the leap into doing what you have always wanted to do! Loved it! And always enjoy your unusual way of looking at the delightful bits and bobs that seem to accompany our journey in this wearing illness. As lovely Dorset Lady said to me in an earlier post, as one door closes, another one opens! ( though I am still waiting!) . And having giggles is so therapeutic. It was wonderful for me to actually laugh out loud at PMRpro's account of her recent visitors!
