Dear All
Sincere Greetings as we grind towards another weekend on the exciting Roller Coaster of Life with PMR / GCA.
It’s always a privilege to have my posts accepted on the PMRGCA HU forum - and equally gratifying so to get such kind, intelligent and helpful responses from PMRGCA survivors from all around the world, which have helped me immensely along the way.
As a result, I thought I'd take this opportunity to share some with you. Here’s a selection:

Well, You Lot - there you have it, for better or worse (probably worse). As always, I disclaim all responsibility for any co-lateral damage caused by my posts. If you find yourself reading this Silliness at Daft-O-Clock in the morning, the antidote is probably a strong tranquiliser. If you AND your OH / partner (or whoever) are reading this together, you probably both need a good talking-to by a trained Relationship Counsellor. If you've handed yourself over to the Authorities and pleaded Insanity as a result of any or all of the above, don't blame me. As the old saying goes: 'I only work here'.
Happy Weekend all - and try to keep smiling on the PMRGCA (and also Life's?) Journey
