Gaga over gaga

Read compete story on www.arushilohiya.com Looks like Lady Gaga is also caught in a " bad romance " with " Monster F" . Rah rah ah-ah-ah! Ro mah ro-mah-mah....Gaga ooh-la-la! The ' ultimate Slayer of Dragon F ' dropped a double edged sword on all fibromyalgia patients.     ( 1. Monster F got promoted to dragon F and  2. No I did not mean mother of dragons #GOT ).

From being a perpetual wallflower to the likes of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinsons and paralysis, it has finally got the limelight it had been missing.

By the way, if you don't already know,  Morgan Freeman came out of this closet much before Gaga. Yes, he too, could not escape the fangs of Monster F. Seems like Monste...

F visited me in 2012 and like a loyal enemy it has stayed with me since then. As kids we were petrified of Monsters that hid under our beds or in our closets. Unlike those Monsters, F is not scared of light. In fact, this sadist has a tendency of crawling it's way in broad daylight.. right when the sun is shining bright. The stubborn monster F comes when you least expect it, catches you unaware and refuses to leave. Even accomplished Ghostbusters aka doctors have no idea- where it came from? how it came? and how the hell will it go. This deadly beast comes with the following super powers- It's immune -the damn thing is resistant to chemicals which is why no pain killer scares it. It's weapon is a machine gun - full of a salty, lemony...
