Dercums Disease Poem

Dercums Disease Poem

Our Bodies, they Hurt. Our Lumps are on fire

It befuddles our mind, Our Thoughts a quagmire,

We want it to stop. We want it to end.

We need a cure. We need to mend.

We speak to the experts, but they do not know,

 How to ease our pain. How to make it go.

It hurts to walk, and it hurts to move

It's NOT in our mind. That's what we need to prove.

We're in a quandary, we're in a muddle

We want to be held, we want to be cuddled

We grin and we bear, we fight our pain

one day this agony will float away

We will not lose, we're going to win

 We will not surrender. We will never give in.

We have the will. We have the fight

We'll battle Dercums with all our Might

This is a really good poem John about Dercums disease and I know nothing about it. Im going to do some research but this was a really fascinating read, people who struggle with it and the doctors don't seem to have any relief. Well done allstars.

Thank you Devon this illness plagues my family my mother has suffered it for years and we have set up a charity to raise awareness but a huge struggle to try and get the illness diagnosed properly. I'm glad you liked the poem :)
