I saw a Neurologist this morning.
The doctor said my symptoms weren’t warnings.

I do not have MS, or any tumors.
I do not have neuropathy, despite the rumors.

I do not have Lyme disease or any traces of Lupus.
At this point, I was starting to feel like dufus.

He took a deep breath and went back to his list.
I do not have polyps, and no compressed discs.

My nerve endings are fine - when stimulated
By now I was feeling a wee bit frustrated.

I’ve had fibromyalgia for a very long time
Only noticing when I began to feeling fine

After a long dark era, and some pretty low ceilings
I’m in touch with myself and my body and feelings

The cure it seems will be even more exercise
Every night now, not just weekly a few times

And some medications – for sure not my favorite.
So, thanks for your love, and guidance, and patience.
