Oz Like

Joints as stiff and creaky as the Tin Manโ€ฆ When, oh when will they find a lubricant that works for themโ€ฆ

Brain as foggy as theย Scarecrowโ€ฆ Canโ€™t concentrate, canโ€™t comprehend, canโ€™t remember, will this fog lift someday, somehowโ€ฆ

Fear as deep as the Cowardly Lionโ€ฆ What will tomorrow bring, will this nightmare end, will we ever have our lives back againโ€ฆ

Lost as surely as Dorothyโ€ฆ Nowhere to turn, no help available, if only we could find the red shoes of a cureโ€ฆ

As confused as โ€œOZโ€… CDC, NIH, WHO, LDN, Antivirals, Psych Meds, diet changes, CBD, all to no avail…

Wishful as the Good Witch…ย Has the answer been here all along, is there a switch we can flip to bring us up out of hibernation mode, where is our magic wandโ€ฆ

Living with the Bad Witchโ€ฆ Every day another trial, every day more exhaustion, every day I hear her cackle as she flies away…another day in the land of MECFS…
