Sjoggie Limericks

[SjoAmy]

Sjogren's can be a pain in the neck

Or a pain in the eye

Oh my!

Sjogren's can be a pain in the throat

I'll promise I'll try not to gloat

Dry eye, Dry throat, Dry lung

Sure made my Stress test fun!

Burning in my throat, mouth, and chest

And he wants to know if I can finish this test!

Of course I can

Of course I will

Have you known me to back down from a challenge still

Taking the test wasn't as bad

As recovering from the test I just had

Nursed my throat with crushed ice, water, and sour patch kids

For 2 hours after that test, my mouth, neck,and chest were on the fritz

[SjoAmy]

Pain in my head

Won't let me get to bed

Throat and eyes are dry

This is the one time I wish I could cry

No phospholipid antibodies

Blood that won't come

No matter what phlebotomist tries

I'm tired and cranky

I wish I had my memory

A stroke that made me look like

My brain was out for the night

I wish there was something I could do

I no longer trust the ER or the hospital

Boohoo

A sjoggie looking for relief,

took out her set of false teeth

and laid them on a chair,

but forgot they were there,

Sat down, and was bitten beneath.

[SjoAmy]

A Sjoggie with a headache

Thought that her brain was being baked

From the pressure in her head

And over her eye

I bet you guessed

That it was dry

All she wanted to do was go to bed

And eat some dark chocolate covered ginger

Instead of a NSaid

[SjoAmy]

Pain in my neck

What the heck

My shoulder has been going POP!

My doctor needs to make this STOP

When the day of Surgery comes, I'll be relieved

Until then I want to SCREAM

I have to rely on my hydrocodone to drive away my pain

When I know it will come back again

It's an endless cycle

I hurt in endless pain

I know my body best

Do I have to go through this again?

Why God? Why me?

I don't wish to end up in a chair

Yet, when I. see my friends in their chairs, my emotions end up in a scare

I'm frightened, it could happen to me

Yet no one takes my pain or need for surgery seriously

Maybe the Hippocratic Oath went out with Hippocrates
