Placebo

Placebo
Will cut to the chase.
I was taking a placebo and Copaxone after all.
The power of imagination, suggestion, hope?
Makes the placebo effect.
I was totally shocked and the clinic staff were comforting to me,
happens to the best of us!
Also relieved that Copaxone has been very effective for me.
I have undergone 4 years serial MRI's, exams, etc.
My stability is a welcome thing and not having to fund 2 meds,
also welcome.
my day:
All morning I wondered, while engaged in work which helped distract my thoughts.
Then the trip up the valley to the clinic.
I brought the camera and wanted to snap one at the Overlook on Spear St. It is a nice little park with the only remaining public lake view.
Been wanting to get a panoramic on a nice day.
It was, alas, overcast but still beautiful. Some trees have grown up, cutting the view up.
Too bad.

Then I took one by the fountain where my Dad & Mom took pictures

Then one more southerly,

Adirondacks in the distance across lake Champlain

Then I got the news at the clinic and have a weird relief

and surprise.

So thought I would google Placebo when I got home.

I know the clinical thing. We used to actually adminster

placebos, years ago, and they were sometimes more effective

than the real thing.

This band Placebo was more interesting,

although the video link may not be

appropriate for some audiences,

watch at your own risk.

I found it telling of some of the times and

have heard this song before but never with this intensity.

Have a great day
