A little fun

[winfong]

My youngest (who's actually 26) has a hard time remembering all my various ailments. Yesterday, he called my PMR "polymyalgia dramatica."

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer]

Not wrong there! 😳

[Bridge31]

Love it. 🤣

[SheffieldJane]

😂 sometimes it can be!

[PMRCanada]

Accurate at times. Made me giggle!😂🤣

[Kendrew]

Sounds about right!!😂😂😂

[Bcol]

Luv it, not far off the mark at times either.

Did you take a bow? 🤩

[LemonZest11]

[Mary63]

Probably is - as long as doctors (and others) don't decide all we are play acting about our pain ...

[borednow in reply to PMRpro]

I think a lot of them have already made up their minds about that!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to borednow]

More than likely!

[Louisa1840]

Well I'm an actor with PMR so I'll take that one!

[herdysheep]

🤣

[Nightingales]

ha ha. Maybe call the drama coach instead of the dr!

[MrsPractical]

I have another funny. When the doctor first phoned me with diagnosis, I misheard her and thought she said Polymyalgia Romantica! I don’t need a hearing aid, honest!🤣🤣

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to MrsPractical]

If only!

[Nextoneplease in reply to MrsPractical]

Excellent- if only! 😳

hi Winfong 😊

Actually sometimes I think I should be more dramatic !! My (40 year old) daughter says she often can’t tell when I’m in pain 😟Personally I think she isn’t very observant!!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Nextoneplease]

Doesn't want to more like ...

[gingerraspiller]

Thanks for sharing - started my day with a laugh and a smile!😎

[Longtimer]

Maybe a good idea to have a drama about PMR, then we could get the right message across!😄. not sure who would play the parts though!

[winfong in reply to Longtimer]

To reduce or not to reduce, that is the question / Whether tis nobler in the body to suffer the slings and arrows of adrenal insufficiency / Or to increase pred against a sea of troubles / And by so increasing end them

[DogAgilityObsessed]

love it!

But seriously, when people ask “how are you?” as they do (whether or not they want an answer other than “fine”) I often say “fine, not fine. But I’m desperately trying to ignore it so…)” or words to that effect.

[Louisepenygraig]

I have fibromyalgia too and have been known to sometimes say my pyromyalgia!

[Brooklyn747]

Well too true...methinks a name change is in order 🤣🤣
