The Lymies were nestled all snug with their meds
While visions of cute LLMD's danced in their heads

My Ma with her Ceftin, and I with my Zithro
Had just settled down for a long winters nap

They dreamed of prescriptions their pharmacies were fillin
Doxy, Amoxy, Zithro, Bicillin....

After awhile they went off to take their meds
They dreamed of being healthy and getting out of their beds

When suddenly I awoke from my slumber
What was that noise I began to wonder

I rose from my wheelchair and limped forward to see
What is it out there, what could it be?

What could it be, what was the matter?
In my brain all I can hear is chatter

Come out all Lymies if you don't you'll regret
Tonight is a night you will never forget

Lights on they stumbled with sleep in their eyes
Unhooked their IV's and looked up to the skies

When what to their herxing eyes did appear
But a big black deer tick and eight tiny nymphs!

And they woke Christmas morning, cured & rested, refreshed and full of energy
their gift had arrived, they're cured and alive!

O Christmas Tree
O Christmas Tree
Where did I put your ornaments

O Christmas Tree
O Christmas Tree
Where did I put your ornaments

I packed them nicely last year
All organized for this year

O Christmas Tree
O Christmas Tree
Where did I put your oooooorrrrrrnnnaments!

herxing all the way!!!

AWESOME!
 

Let's see, Brenda....where could they be??? Keep thinking....you'll find them....just hope it will be before Dec. 25!!!
 

Here is one to sing to the tune of "O Christmas Tree:"

Oh Lyme Disease
Babesiosis and Ehr-lich-i-o-sis
Oh dear me, I've got all three
It is ri-dic-i-o-sis

How can your life change
From just a bite?
From heaven to hell
In just a night?

Oh Lyme Disease
Oh Lyme Disease
Oh why oh why
Did you pick me?
 

Jingle Bells [Lyme Disease]

Lyme disease, lyme disease,
Lymies all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to have
Tickborne illnesses! Hey!

Lyme disease, lyme disease,
Lymies you and me,
When we get cured one day,
We'll all scream, laugh, and scream!!

sing this to "Santa Claus is coming to town"

I can't stand up
I need to sit down
and I can hear virtually
every little sound

Lyme disease is affecting my brain

Maybe a nymph
Maybe full grown
I really don't know
but I feel really stoned

Lyme disease is affecting my brain

My body twitches all over
My head is really stoned
I have gained 40 pounds now,
And it's not at all toned.

OH! When I stand up
I almost fall down
I am very irritated
and I am wearing a frown

Lyme disease is affecting my brain.

"White Christmas"

I'mmmmm dreaming of a norrrmal life,
Just like the one I used to know.
When I was healthy and happy
And my hair wasn't nappy
And friends would call and say hello.

 

Sung to "Silent Night"

Lymie Friends
From LymeNet Org
We're all nuts
So we've been told

Tell those ducks to go straight to H*ll
Get yourself a good L L M D
We all need help now and then
This is one awesome place

Lymie Friends
From LymeNet Org
We're all nuts
So we've been told

We have fun writing crazy songs
We have fun helping each other
Good health to all who visit here
Better health next year

Walking to the kitchen, on my feet there were no shoes
I did not lift them high enough, my accidents come in twos!
I just broke my toe, I'm beginning to cry
What fun it was to be a klutz and breaaaak it tonight!!!

OW!!!

Accident Prone, Accident Prone, Accidents Constantly
Oh what fun it is to trip with no shoes upon my feeeet!
Accident Prone, Accident Prone, Accidents Constantly
Oh what fun it is to trip with no shoes upon my feet!

Hey!

A minute or two ago, I thought I'd wrap it up
No splints were around, that seems to be my luck
A barrette is straight and wide, I taped it to my toe
It's really achy now, and inspired my tale of woe

OH!!!

Accident Prone, Accident Prone, Accidents Constantly
Oh what fun it is to trip with no shoes upon my feeeeet!
Accident Prone, Accident Prone, Accidents Constantly
Oh what fun it is to trip with no shoes upon my feet!

HEY!!!

A month or two ago, the story I must tell
I slipped moving my TV, and on my finger it fell
Blood there was a gushing, it was a horrible sight
It throbbed so as I tried to sleep, but was unable to that night

OW!!!

Accident Prone, Accident Prone, Accidents Constantly
Oh what fun it is to trip with no shoes upon my feeeeeet!
Accident Prone, Accident Prone, Accidents Constantly
Oh what fun it is to trip with no shoes upon my feet!

HEY!!!

Now my toe is hurting, go to sleep soon I must
I'll double up my Valium, words will stop being cussed!
I'm grateful for hair accessories, those barrettes straight and wide
Yes I taped it to my toe, and once again I cried...

OW!!!

Accident Prone, Accident Prone, Accidents Constantly
Oh what fun it is to trip with no shoes upon my feeeeeet!
Accident Prone, Accident Prone, Accidents Constantly
Oh what fun it is to trip with no shoes upon my feet!

HEY!!!

The saddest part is, I JUST did break the tip end of my middle toe! Talk about inspiration!!! This whole thing is a true story and my toe looks hysterical taped up with the end of a barrette sticking out of it!!! Thankfully, it doesn't hurt anywhere remotely close to the pain I had from smushing my finger. I think smushings are more painful than breakings!
 

Ducks are quacking, are you listening,
in the lane, snow is glistening
A frightful sight,
we're scared tonight,
walking in a tick diseased land.

Gone away are the antibiotics,
here to stay is the probiotics
TBD's infected us all,
as we go along,
walking in a tick diseased land.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Allen Steere
He'll say: You don't need antibiotics!
we'll say: No man,
But you can kiss our a_s,
you turned your back on the disease you found!!!

Later on, we'll conspire,
as we dream his demise by the fire
To face unafraid,
the plans that we've made,
walking in a tick diseased land.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
and pretend that Steere's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
we'll help the other Lymies knock Steere down!

Then all will have meds, ain't it thrilling,
The prescription bottles, so many will be filling!
We'll frolic and play, the Lymie way,
walking in a tick diseased land.
walking in a tick diseased land,
walking in a tick diseased land

 

We Wish You A Merry Christmas
We wish you a many antibiotics;
We wish you a many antibiotics;
We wish you a many antibiotics and a Healthy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for antibiotics and a Healthy New Year.
Oh, bring us literate doctors;
Oh, bring us literate doctors;
Oh, bring us a literate doctor and a cup of good meds.
We won't go until we get some!
We won't go until we get some!
We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here!!!
We wish you a many antibiotics;
We wish you a many antibiotics;
We wish you a many antibiotics and a Healthy New Year.!!!

 

We wish Allen Steere on Welfare;
We wish Allen Steere on Welfare;
We wish you a Allen Steere on Welfare it would make our New Year.
Good tidings we bring to LLMD's everywhere;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Oh, sue Steere for malpractice;
Oh, sue Steere for malpractice;
Oh, sue Steere for malpractice and include Mayo for good cheer.
We won't go until we get them;
We won't go until we get them;
We won't go until we get them, so bring them out here.
(Chickens!)
We wish Allen Steere on welfare;
We wish Allen Steere on welfare;
We wish Allen Steere on welfare it would make our New Year!

Do I hear a round of applause for that one?!!!

Now, let me see if I can come up with something...
 

Mr. Steere
You're a mean one, Mr. Steere
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Steere,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Steere,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Steere,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a foul one, Mr. Steere,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Steere,
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!
You're a rotter, Mr. Steere,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Steere,
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!
You nauseate me, Mr. Steere,
With a nauseous super "naus"!,
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Steere,
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!
You're a foul one, Mr. Steere,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Steere,
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk"!

Ahhh, I just loved the ending description...so true, so true I can even smell him here! Woops, no, maybe I have to blame that one on the dog...they really are such stinkers!

You've heard of Lupus and MS,
Parkinson's and Chronic Fatigue
ALS and Lou Gerig's
Fibromylagia and Chron's Disease...

But do you recall...
The most contraversial Disease of them All!?

Lyme Disease - the great Imitator
Is a very baffling disease
Even the experts have no clue
Why our swollen and achy knees

Lyme Disease - the great Imitator
Coming soon to every family & home
We wish they'd find a cure
But so far one is not known

When it was just a wee syndrome
They said it was cured in 10 days
And now all of us 10 day people
Spend our lives in pain & Lyme Rage

You see these creepy bacteria
Have found a way to mutate
They invade all our bodily organs
And use us as hotels (where we pay the rates!)

All of the other diseases
Have celebrities to help their cause
But nobody wants to admit being tick bit
Or just nobody yet who has balls!

Maybe one foggy Lyme Day soon
Before we all are gone
We'll get the recognition we deserve
For the malpractice we've known

Until then, Remember to not forget -
"This too shall pass"
And if it's any consolation (in my opinion)
Lyme Disease can kick the others disease's ass!

Steere got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from his office Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and my LLMD, we now believe.

He'd neglected patients, drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged him so to go.
He'd denied our medication,
So we shoved him out the door into the snow.

When they found him Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on his forehead,
And incriminatin' ticks stuck in his back.

Steere got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from his office Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and my LLMD, we now happily believe!

Now were all so proud of my LLMD,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there diagnosing patients,
Prescribing antibiotics and supplements which is just too swell.

It's the best Christmas without Steere.
All the patients dressed in green the color of fern.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we have him cremated `cause we'd love so to see him burn?!

Steere got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from his office Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and my LLMD, we so happily believe.

Now the antibiotics are in our homes
And the containers made of plastic.
And smarter doctors everywhere,
Longer treatments are now standard with no room for his skeptics.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours.
Better watch out for yourselves."
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a health industry and contradicts himself!!!

Steere got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from his office, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and my LLMD, we oh soooo happily believe!!!

Can anyone think of a better present?!!!

Ok, I'm stopping now. Wow, I totally got into playing with this stuff. It was fun! Wild Condor, you should be ashamed, look how busy I've been!!!
 

Brenda, I have a copy of the Hippo song just for you. I'm pasting it here so enjoy. I have to sign off now because if my dog could speak she would have told me to get my a_s in bed hours and hours ago. Actually, the look on her face pretty much says it. She's not too happy with all this typing!!! So, for my dog I am now signing off so she can get some rest!

I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas
-- writing credits go to John Rox, copyright 1950. It's included on a
tape by "Joanie Bartel's Christmas Magic."

"I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinkey tinker toys
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use a dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy, what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinosaurus
I only likes hippopotamuses [sic]
And hippopotamuses [sic] like me, too

Mom says a hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage."

Personally, I prefer real horses!

 

I knew some of you were GOOFY.. but I was sort of guessing.. You have really proved yourselves here today! hahahahahahaha

Is this what they call the "Christmas Spirit"???

You make me laugh too much! All of you! I read a few.. and thought.. this looks like fun.. maybe I will try one... NOT!!! You all can't be beat!!!

I am going to print them out and when the next duck tells one of us we are crazy.. I am going to send a copy to them and a note that says.. If we ARE nuts... YOU made us that way!!! HA!
 

I have a request:

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

also:

The Christmas song: You know..ummm. Chesnuts roasting by an open fire, jackfrost....

Can someone do the Lyme lyrics for these. TwoAngie, it's a challenge--I dare you!

B

Spirochetes roasting by an open fire,
Round rash nipping at your toes.
Western Blots, being read by a duck
And folks dressed up like Lymie bugs.

Everybody knows that abx and a LLMD
Help to make a patient well.
Lymie Bugs, with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep, to-night.

They know that Dr. B is on his way,
He's loaded lots of abx and goodies on
his sleigh.
And every Mother's child will aspire...
To see if spirochetes really know how
to fly.

And so, I'm offering this simple dx to kids
from 1 to 92....
Although it's been said, many times and many
ways, Merry Herxing, Merry Herxing,
Merr-ry Herx-ing toooo you.

Dedicated to my DR. C!!!!!!

I am going to bust a gut or pee my pants!!!

Have mercy on me!!!
 

Go Tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain
That Alan Steere's a dork!

Oh why does he try to torture us
By day and by the night?
Or why would he even think that we
Are going to say he's great---ate?

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Alan Steere's a dork.

I'll write more later....going to see Larry Gatlin this afternoon for inspiration!!

[This message has been edited by Lymetoo (edited 08 December 2001).]
 

I have taken one of my favorite Christmas carols and dedicated it to our WONDERFUL LLMD's.

Please take the time to actually sing the song out loud... the way it was MEANT to be...

If you follow it closely and pay attention you will see why the LLMD's are smiling at the end of the song.

The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum.

A Lyme doctor to see, pa rum pum pum pum.

Our poor health we bring, pa rum pum pum pum.

To lay before the kings.. pa rum pum pum. pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.

We will honor them, pa rum pum pum pum.

When we come.

Little Bumsteere, pa rum pum pum pum.

I am afraid of you, pa rum pum pum pum.

I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum.

You don't deserve a thing, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum
pum.

Shall I bury you, pa rum pum pum pum.

In my drum...

Lymies nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The really sick lost time, pa rum pum pum pum
We lost our health to him, pa rum pum pum pum.

I have a GOOD doc now, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.

And he smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum.

Me and my drum.
 

Grandma got Run over by a Reindeer

Allen (Steere)got bit by a deer tick
walkin' home from Yale Christmas Eve

He'd been writing to much bull****
For the insurance comp-a knees!

And we begged him not to go.
But he forgot his medication,
As he staggered out the door
and didnt know!

When we found him Christmas morning,
with a really swollen neck,
He had tick bites on his forehead,
And incriminating rashes on his back.

CHORUS

Now we're not so proud of Steere
He's been a real lying jerk
See him in there telling lies,
To all the bulls in his herd, and playing games with Duh Why-spupid Ray.

It's not Christmas without Allen
All the Lymie's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we tell him he has Lyme or send him to a shrink?
SEND Him to a shrink!

CHORUS

Now the STEERE is on the table
And the pudding made of Flagyl (ahhhhh!)
And the green and white candles,
That would just have matched the grass
in Allens field.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours,
Better watch out for yourselves.
They should never give a license,
To a doctor who knows nothings and pays the ducks!

I'll revise it as my brain clear!

WC, refresh my old memory....how does "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" go??? Give me a verse of the original and maybe I can remember the tune. Like TC said, you need to sing it to really enjoy it!

Should I change "Allen Steere" to "Bubba Steere"???? Wasn't sure it was OK to put his name there....I didn't think of Bubba in the beginning, but it sounds pretty good to ME!!!Heehehehheheee
 

Don't call bumsteere Bubba!!! I have pet frogs named Bubba.. and Bubba is a NICE name!! I call most of the folks I know and like.. Bubba.

Don't dirty Bubba's name! PLEASE!!!

I am sure if you think about it you could come up with other names for him! HA!

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me an' Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
And we begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication,
And she staggered out the door
into the snow.

When we found her Christmas morning,
At the scene of the attack
She had hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminating Claus marks
on her back.

CHORUS

Now we're all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been taking this so well.
See him in there watching football,
Drinking beer and playing cards
with cousin Mel.

It's not Christmas without Grandma,
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts
or send them back?
SEND THEM BACK!!!

CHORUS

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig (ahhhhh!)
And the blue and silver candles,
That would just have matched the hair
in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours,
Better watch out for yourselves.
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh
and plays with elves.

Sing it, Grandpa!

CHORUS
Allen got bit by a deer tick...walkin home from Yale Christmas Eve...
he'd been drinking to much mepron
for a disease thats not real
he had tick bites on his forhead....to be continued....!

In case you missed it! Here is is again!

I'm gittin' nuttin' for Christmas
No yeast, no sugar, no beer.
I'm gittin' nuttin' for Christmas
But nuttin' is better than ducks!!

I'm gittin' green stuff for Christmas
Lettuce and green beans and sprouts.
I'm gittin' green stuff for Christmas
But green stuff is better than ducks!

I'm gittin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are sad.
I'm gittin' nuttin' for Christmas
And herxes are driving me mad!

Steere's gittin' nuttin' for Christmas
We want to throw him a pass!
Steere's gittin' nuttin' for Christmas
But we'll arrange a kick in the ....

Steere's gittin' nuttin' for Christmas
Just herxes and joint pain and rash.
Steere's gittin' nuttin' for Christmas
But nuttin' is better than gas!
 

For those who haven't joined in yet, we could have 10 different versions of each tune....so there's no limit [uh, oh] to the number of songs you can create! Look out, here I come!!!

White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a Lyme M.D.
Just like the one I do respect.
Where the ID docs are missin', and Lyme
doctors listen...
To hear that Bum Steere's out the door.

I'm dreaming of a Lyme M.D.
Just hope the spirochetes DO die...
Where ducks are useless and
governing boards worthless...
To hear the ducks sing "Quack, Quack, Quack!"

I'm dreaming of a positive blood test
Seems such a simple thing to do.
Where the blood test is accurate,
And the treatment's instant...
To hear that Bubba Steere is gone!

Sorry Tincup, Bubba fit better than the real thing here. No offense to anyone named Bubba, OK?!
 

I asked you SEVERAL times.. NICELY TOO...

PLEASE DON'T USE THE NAME BUBBA TO DESCRIBE BUMSTEERE!!!

I even explained why...

What's the matter with you? ... I wrote, BEGGING you not to call Bumsteere by the name Bubba..

Here is what I said.. "Don't call bumsteere Bubba!!! I have pet frogs named Bubba.. and Bubba is a NICE name!! I call most of the folks I know and like.. Bubba.
Don't dirty Bubba's name! PLEASE!!!
I am sure if you think about it you could come up with other names for him!"

What part of that don't you understand???

Well.. I hope you can live with the consequences now. You have done it.. and you must forever live with the guilt!

I took these Christmas Carols outside and started singing them to my pet frogs. They danced and laughed and jumped up and down. It was a marvelous site to behold. They LOVED the festive songs...

BUT... When I got to your song.. I sang the last verse and when they heard you had renamed Bumsteere... and called him Bubba.. OH MY!!

They all croaked!

hehehehehehehehehehe

 

Tis the season to have Lyme,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Achy joints we moan and whine,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don we now our thermal blankets,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Time to take antibiotics,
Fa la la la la la la la la.

I'm sure there should be some commas in there but I couldn't take it
Merry Christmas,
Susie & Daniel

You better watch out
you better not cry
you better not pout
I'm tellin you why...
I'''''m coming to town.

I know when keeters are sleeping
I know when they are awake
I know you don't deserve this Lyme disease
So take antibiotics for goodness sake.

You better watch out
you better not cry
you better not pout
I'm tellin you why...
I'''''m coming to town.

You have all been such good girls and boys......Have a Merry, Ho Ho Ho Christmas!!

Santa

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up with string,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent false teeth in glasses
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel to bad.

Hot tea with crumpets, and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin,
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin,
And we won't remmeber our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.

When the joints ache, when the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel to bad.
 

Joy to the world! Our Lyme is cured!
Let us resume our lives;
Let every Lymie, go back to work;
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven,and heaven and nature sing.

Jus-tice to Steere! the Lymies win!
Let ticks and bacteria be gone!
while fields are free to walk,
drive our cars and hug our kids
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let herxes and pains grow,
nor ticks infest the ground;
LLMD's comes to make His blessing flow
far as the cure is found,
far as the cure is found,
far as, far as the cure is found.

Lymies rule the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of our righteousness,
and wonders of Lymies love,
and wonders of Lymies love,
and wonders, wonders of Lymies love.

 

I've been missing out over here.

"Lyme is an enigma. While the debate rages over proper diagnostic and treatment procedures, patients get sicker and some even die." Pat Smith, LDA
 

Okay, here is another one ...It's a little more up beat

Sing to "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree"

Walking around with Lyme Disease,
you can't drink Beer or Soda Pop.

Migraine headaches and joint pain,
They just don't seem to stop.

Walking around with Lyme Disease,
and your Ears begin to Ring.

Your memory won't work, and you can't remember the words, to go Christmas Caroling!

When you get that Nauseous kinda Felling and you can't Hear.

Your Eyesight's Gone, and your brain is Folly.

Let's go Deck the "Ducks" and all get JOLLY!

Walking around with Lyme Disease,
it's a very Confusing Day.

Antibiotics and Herxing, it's the
Lyme Disease... Kinda.... Way!

Happy Holidays!!!

I have been laughing hard for the past 20 minutes. Just checked to see if my catheter is in place - and yes it is - no harm done!

What a wonderful Lymie Spirit!

I'm going to print some out and hang on the walls......

Gaeltick --- I love the Sound of Music and will probably be singing your song all through the year.......

If and when I get more creative - I'll come and add on to this list!

I thought of another one. This is addicting! The kids and I were listening to Christmas songs tonight, and I couldn't help but sing Lyme Lyrics to them.

Sing this one to " Jolly Old Saint Nicholas"

Infectious Disease Specialist...,
Lend your ear this way.

Listen very carefully to
what I have to say!

Lyme Disease is Coming Soon,
to a Child, a Woman or a Man...

Tell me how you will Treat Them,
Tell me if you CAN?????

When the clock is striking Twelve,
and yet I Still Can't Sleep.

Inside my body the antibiotics, are killing my Coinfections and... my Keets.

And my Memory,... I still can't find,
and now I move real Slow.

Yet you say that I Should be Cured, as I took 3 weeks of Doxy in a row.

All I want is to be Pain FREE,
and not hurt so bad.. in my head.

Yet this Damn Disease is Crippling me,
and still you want to stop... my Meds?

Thank God I have an LLMD
who will Cure me... He is the Best.

Tell me Dear Infectious Disease Specialist....., Will You Help the rest????

I forgot to mention that the above song,
" Infectious Disease Specialist"

Is dedicated to my ID doctor who told me that I was cured, and no longer had Lyme. She also said I would "Just have to learn to cope with the pain"

I think I'll send this to her in her Christmas Card. Anyone know where I can get a card with a Big Ugly Tick on it?

Sing to Jingle Bells.......

Jingle Bells, I Hate Lyme,
you get it from a Tick.

Jingle Bells I Hate Lyme,
It made My Mommy Sick.

Thought I'd share it with you

Yes, it is addicting. I guess my Son heard me singing the songs with Lyme lyrics, and he decided to join in. He did pretty good for a 6 year old.

I hope others come up with some new ones!!

Being able to come back a year later and laughing like this was the first time!

Lyme Bites, Lyme Bites, Lyme Bites all the way. Oh what fun it is to be sick every single day! Lyme Bites, Lyme Bites, Lyme Bites what can I say? When will I ever feel OK?

Losing first my health, then my job and house, I'll be living in my car but at least I'll have heat now. Bill collectors can't call, I don't have a phone. They can't send me mail - I don't have an address!

Oh Lyme Disease, Lyme Disease, Lyme Disease is swell. What did I ever do before my life became a living H*ll?

I'm not having one of my better days. I'm going to print these and mail them as Christmas cards to all the wonderful doctors who misdiagnosed me - thank you! Florida Cat

***** The Twelve Days of Lyme Disease *****
by Brian Carroll

On the (first, second, etc.) day of Lyme disease a deer tick gave to
me....

Twelve IVs dripping
Eleven ears ringing
Ten fingers tingling
Nine words switching
Eight muscles twitching
Seven lacks of sexing
Six MDs perplexing
FIVE WESTERN BLOTS
Four fleeting thoughts
Three skipped beats
Two burning feet and
An EM rash behind my left knee

Cheers!

Yes, it is true, it is time for some new ones!

I must go create new lyrics immediately.

OH Spirochete Oh Spirochete
How i want to kill you

O Spirochete O Spirochete
please get out of my blood

Not only in the summertime,
But even in winter is thy prime.

O Spirochete O Spirochete
Stop ruining my life

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Lyme
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The years go by;
Yet in thy bright lights shineth
The everlasting pain;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.

I'll think of more later.
 

WC....ah--hem....I'm the genius who brought this thread back up......thank you, thank you very much!

Can't wait for more songs, WC!

"I forgot, Oh my God.
I forgot, Oh my God.
Can't find the presents or car keys
and I'm lost in this lymie fog....."

That's all I remember......
cootiegirl
 

My muscles are sore, sometimes to the touch,
Where has my health gone? I miss it so much.
Everyone says that "You look so well."
They don't understand that I'm living in hell.

My memory fails me, I'm tense and uptight,
This disease rages on, my brain isn't right.
My eyes often hurt me, they twitch and are red.I often forget what it was you just said.

There are days that I sit and stare into space,This cloud just comes on me, I have no sense of place.

I wish someone could tell me, "You'll soon be well," For the war I am fighting is living hell.

No one understands the pain that I feel,
People don't understand my disease is real.

MY DISEASE IS...LYME. `

oh what fun
to pop narcotics
so the pain will go away

Hey!

Jingle bells
Jindgle bells
herxing all the way

breaking cysts
checking antibiotic lists
on a one horse open sleigh...

Happy Holidays, friends.
Love, Liz
 

hey, Brat....what's the tune?? I can't SING without a TUNE!
 

No Tune, I just wanted to share it with everyone

Merry Christmas!!!
 

I came across some old songs I wrote for this thread last year and was singing with my children.

Derek loves music, and has a beautiful voice. He wants to be an architect, a Green Beret, and a singer like Alan Jackson when he grows up.

Well he made up this little tune to post here.

Sing to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

"I have Lyme"

I have Lyme, I hurt all the time,
why won't it go away?

I know that Dr.J will help me get better someday.

Hey!

Then I won't have Lyme, I will be just fine,
that's what I hope and pray.

I can play baseball all the time and my knees won't hurt all day.

Merry Christmas,
From, Derek

My brain isn't right! Holy fright!

Twitching palms
Failing sight
Round yon brainpan burgdorferi and bart
Cunning bacteria so tiny, but bite
Sleep in my tissues deep (2x)

My brain isn't right! Holy fright!

Doctors shake at my sighs;
Antibiotics stream from pharmacies afar,
Lymphatic system sings alleluia!
Remission, my savior is born (2x)

My brain isn't right! Holy fright!

Scourge of man, nature's blight;
Disabling dreams wreck my neural case,
With any luck I'll hold the last ace,
Light, please open the door (2x)
 

Bringing this old thread back to the top for all to enjoy....

here is a new song, that my kids Derek and Mikayla worked on...

Sing to Jungle Bells...

I will get well, I will get well,
that's what my doctors say...

Oh what fun, it will be..... to be healthy and play all day...

HEY!

I will get well, I will get well,
I will get well someday...

I can't wait to feel better and play.... and play..... and .....play!

Wishing you all a Happy Holiday!!!

"Knocking Around my Spirochetes"

Knocking around my spirochetes
Watch them run, die and drop
Herxing so bad I can barely see
But I'm not about to stop.

Knocking around my spirochetes
Pull out the wrestling ring
Later I'll sizzle them in high high heat
And not feed them anything.

I always get that estatic
Feeling when Im near
Any scorching heat to make my friends jolly
I'm decking their halls with more than holly...

Knocking around my spirochetes
And having a wonderful holiday
My borrelia is barely hanging on
And more ceftin's on its way!

Merry Xmas All
