Interrupt This Message...

I've been hiding here for years but you don't know my name You call me something different but to me it's just the same I'm hungry all the time though I don't eat and tell I love that cream colored coating now, you don't feel so well I devour meat and fats but I never feel full I've seen the 'nodes of Ranvier' with them I have some pull While I devour fiber with no shame let me interrupt this message I've been hiding here for years but to me it's just a game You call "myelin, my meal I was born to inflame I like getting on your nerves and there is nothing you can do Though You'll keep on trying you can't move when you want to So make them stop all the research I must continue to consume for I mantain control in this axon of a room so while I pause to feed Let me interrupt this message... I'll continue hiding here for years as you complain about fatigue I don't care about your fears I must fulfill my needs While you suffer I only hope they never come up with a cure because that inventive medication might make you who you were You would be walking once again and feeling really fine M.S. would be defeated then I'd run out of time Oh no, you've taken something new and you interrupt this message interrupt this message... interrupt this mess...

There is an illness and there was a movie made about the illness called "Loreno's Oil"(not sure about the spelling). This child was dying and his father kept working on coming up with something to make the myelin develop on this child's nerves and finally found that Rape Seed Oil would work but his child died before he found the cure. I wonder if this would work on other illnesses of the same nature. You drew me in and kept my interest. Keep writing. Sara
