Today, Oct 28th, is a big day for me. It was this day in 2006 that I started this unwanted affair with Mr. P.M.R. He was not to kind and I knew that I wanted out fast. Then the answers came in the form of Mr. Pred. Now that affair went swimmingly, until, I recognized that he to had a unkind side to his personality. But what was I to do? I tried to rid myself of him. He would have none of that. I went to counseling. Ms. Rummy and I have counseled together, many a day. We worked together, to slowly let him know, that there would be an end to this affair. It would be a slow withdrawal, but there would be an a finally breakup. Ms. Rummy has been pleased with the sessions. She believes that I am now free of Mr. PMR. And Mr.Pred is slowly leaving the building. She has cautioned me regarding the possible return to Mr.P.M.R. I feel confident that I will recognize him and be able to put up the "not welcome" sign, if he should darken my door again. As to Mr.Pred, he knows he can not be a part of my life. He is putting up less resistant with every day. I feel very blessed. It has not been a pleasant affair, but I have learned much about myself and others. I hope I have not wasted the pain. I will not work on Mrs. Weight Gain. She did a real number on me. I believe her and Mr. Pred are true friends-but no friend of mine.

Lonna,Lonna,
Congratulations! Please report to the upper deck ballroom for your celebration. We have diet champagne for prg555 and the real stuff for you. We've hired a big band for the event. We'll heave to so all the ladies on oars can attend.
Would you mind telling us about your year? Like, what you started on with the pred, how you tapered down, whether you were pain-free or pain-manageable, etc. I've only been aboard for a couple of months and there are others who are probably interested in your success story. Thanks.
Lonna, Congratulations, do you feel like you did before the PMR? Energy and no pain? How are you blood test, back to normal? Sorry, so many question. This is good news for all of us PMR suffers that this to will pass and we can be normal, what ever normal is for us.
Happy quilting and keep us posted. Geri
Lonna,
I am so happy to hear you are doing better! You've done a great job coping with the PMR madness and should be very proud of yourself. I'm with Nana on the questions...please let us know.
Take care, Kathy
Lonna,
Congratulations! It's encouraging to know that Mr. PMR is going down for the count and Mr. Pred isn't far behind. This too shall pass.
