    I just wrote this last night in my attempt to give a short-ish description of Autoimmune Disease to help people jump on board with PJ Day this year.
    Here's what I came up with.

    In too many lives,
    those little white cells,
    so aptly designed
    to keep our health in line,
    for reasons unknown,
    freak out,
    and forget
    what their jobs are about.

    To germs,
    virus
    and bacteria unkind,
    our immune system
    is meant to bind,
    but in it’s haste it falls behind.

    Against the body
    it is meant to protect,
    the immune system
    has now launched an attack.

    Then life can become dire.
    Existence,
    body,
    mind,
    submerged in quagmire.

    Questioning self,
    fighting for life,
    in up until now,
    unprecedented strife

    Our jobs by the wayside,
    employers confused,
    our families shattered,
    souls battered and bruised.

    We’ve seen the expensive
    “machine that goes ‘ping’”
    we’ve even felt its overused, broken springs.

    One in Five will feel this wrath.
    How’s that for applied math?

    There is no age limit,
    in either direction,
    and women make up three quarters of this collection.

    Early detection
    and many injections
    (of chemo
    and steroids
    and more,)
    are the only hope,
    us unlucky dopes
    have of futures
    with more life than hopes.

    We can endure,
    of this you can be sure.
    But just so we’re perfectly clear;
    for the ONE in FIVE affected,
    There is NO CURE.

    But wait,
    don’t drop the curtain just yet
    because if one thing’s for certain,
    success will come
    if we keep beating the drum...
    “We are ALL CONNECTED
    because in some way or other, we’re ALL affected.”
