Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

One Leads To Another

My bone crumbles
        Osteoporosis to blame 
      if bones should crumble then I'll take tumbles
        and life won’t be the same
  eating calcium rich cheese, so Doc will be pleased
  Stilton ~ Cheddar ~ Brie… calcium rich guarantees
    no longer are my bones diseased
  Cholesterol high ~ statins no cheese ~ Doc grumbles

Andrea Dietrich June 25, 2019 at 11:51 AM anne, do not forget the vitamins k and D! Also, lots of natural vitamin C is the backbone to good bone health. I was poisoned by my doctor who had me take injections of prolia (when I did not even really need it since my bones were not that bad) I am fighting side effects from Prolia which refuses to leave my body. Whatever you do, if your doctor suggests Prolia Do NOT take it (do the research on it). Congrats on your well deserved win. Ann Gilmour June 26, 2019 at 12:27 AM Many thanks Andrea for your advice - I have never heard of Prolia, but I will certainly never take it, how awful for you, I am so sorry to hear that. Thanks also for your congrats, with kindest thoughts Ann xx

Joseph May June 24, 2019 at 5:31 PM I guess the doc disa-'bries' with cheese..but as you solve one problem another develops, Congrats on your win Ann.. Ann Gilmour June 24, 2019 at 5:40 PM Haha, yes he does Joseph, so now taking tabs for bones and statins! Happy days, and thanks for your welcome visit and congrats. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Panagiota Romios June 11, 2019 at 7:14 PM MD's do not understand that women with low cholesterol have greater chances of Alzheimer's. But will lay off giving other advice. Ann, get into a mild exercise class. Eating high CA products is not enough.., I love cheese as you do but don't eat much of it. Good piem, BTW PANAGIOTA Ann Gilmour June 12, 2019 at 3:14 AM Well I was not aware of the link to Alzheimer's and low cholesterol - interesting! Thanks for your comments and advice Panagiota, so good to hear from you. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Caren Krutsinger June 11, 2019 at 12:59 AM Ah, what a wonderful poem for the contest. I think this is indeed a winner, straight to the top, Ann. Well done!

Jan Allison June 10, 2019 at 3:27 PM Love the irony with the cheese making your cholesterol rise - our family is plagued by osteoporosis .. good job I like cheese and sod the cholesterol for now it its mature cheddar for me:-) hugs Jan xx Ann Gilmour June 10, 2019 at 3:57 PM Haha... that's what I call living on the edge Jan I too love cheese, especially with a glass of Pinot. With kindest thoughts Ann 3

Line Gauthier June 10, 2019 at 2:49 PM I agree, Ann. Cheese is far better than calcium supplements especially with a glass of chardonnay. Ann Gilmour June 10, 2019 at 3:55 PM Haha... yes absolutely, I totally agree Line. Cheers! With kindest thoughts Ann xx
