Patience

[WeAreAllMutants]

PMR provides an excellent opportunity to learn patience.

PMR will not be rushed. It is on its own schedule and ridding yourself of it requires respect for its maddeningly plodding pace.

PMR will not be rushed. It is a sloth train, charging ahead with the speed of a galloping snail. You are on that train. Say, "Whoopee!"

PMR will not be rushed. If you overshoot your taper, you will be reminded.

PMR will not be rushed. Hurry it along, push that river, nothing good will come.

PMR will not be rushed. It is of you, in you, part of you, but it does not march to your orders.

PMR will not be rushed. Sit with it like you'd sit with a sick friend. Do not drag your sick friend from bed. Visit. You are your sick friend.

PMR will not be rushed. You ARE special. You ARE unique. Still, your PMR will not be hurried along.

PMR will not be rushed. Tapering is like watching paint dry.

And remember, PMR will not be rushed.

How true, I'll try to remember your wise words when I'm feeling fed up with it.

[Missus835]

Facts. This should be passed along to the GP's and Rheumatologists who want you to taper at warp speed. Thank you for this reminder.

[PMRCanada]

Exactly!! Creatively written and accurate. Ill be printing it and posting it where I can see it every day AND sharing it with folks who need to read it!

Amen. So right. I tried rushing and paid the price. I’ve learned to understand and take it slow
