Smoldering

Prof G makes a plea for the MS community to acknowledge the real MS as being smouldering MS and to shift R&D spend to tackle the real disease. Do you agree with him? What about his suggestion to change the name of his MS clinic? #ClinicSpeak https://t.co/k2ghJ6aQV5 pic.twitter.com/hmlTAi4G5F

Smoldering…like
A Cold Fire Burning inside
A Smoky Stench, neither Burning nor being put out
Depressing Thoughts?
Oh yes.
Refreshing Viewpoint?
That too.
My clinic days they test me a say, are you taking meds?
You look pretty good.
I pulled myself together to get there.
I perform for the Doctor, Trying to do my Best
Or they won’t like me
Or they would feel a failure
Or they’ll give up on me.
My Adult side knows they care for me.
My Child side is scared of what a Doctor I worked with called “The Dwindles”.
You’re on the right track, Dr. G
