1) They will never have to answer the question,
"What is Lyme(S) disease?"

2) When your partner says they have a headache....they reeeeeeeallly have a headache.

3) You can get drunk on Cumanda together.

4) You can get stoned on Cholestyramine together.

5) You can take romantic candlelight Epsom Salt baths together.

6) You can buy bulk shipments of supplements for lower prices.

7) You can cancel a date 20 minutes before and your partner will understand.

8) Your partner will know that the word "Herx" is not a sequel to the Shrek movies.

9) You'll feel happy for your partner when the stink in the bathroom is from a healthy solid BM.

10) You'll have someone to stay up with you all night with your chronic insomnia.

awwwwww...

I'm on a mission to find Daryl Hall and then I will court him! [Big Grin]

Feel free to add to the top ten list as I think we all need a good laugh (and yet, I DO believe there is some truth to this concept).

Maybe I should start up a Lymematch.com?

THIS IS SO FUNNY !!!!!!

I especially love it, because we talk about this subject a lot on Lyme Chat everynight (which you should check out), and recently held a get together for Lymies.

Two people from Lyme Chat actually formed a relationship, and met last week, and so far so good! It's the cutest Lymie relationship....we are all rooting for these two great people!

Posted by Clarissa (Member # 4715) on :

That's awesome.

I've been thinking about it a lot now that I'm in remission and easing my way back into the dating life.

I had my first match.com call last night and it sucked. I spent, literally, 30 minutes explaining TBD's and then the guy got all freaked out because he had an embedded tick in his arm back in 2005, blah blah blah.

I seriously don't know if I can deal. You figure 90% of the general population are probably carriers anyway, I'd MUCH rather be with someone in AWARENESS and actively treating their problem, ya know?

I'll have to check out the chat room...but I'm a teeeeny bit superficial and would want to see pictures, too.

Does this couple even know what each other look's like?

I still think Daryl Hall and I would make a great couple. I'm very musical [Smile]

Hilarious

Posted by Tracy9 (Member # 7521) on :

We all have our photos posted from the chat room. They saw each other's pictures before they met, and talked a lot.

I definitely know of at least one great single guy in our group. You really should come in the chat room. It's not a dating site, but a support group, and we had a real live get together for the July fourth weekend.

Daryl Hall is too old for me , sigh :-(

I think i read somewhere that someone started a dating site for IBS sufferers (or did i just dream that one up)

I know of someone at my former LLMD office that met her bf on a lyme website. So, anything is possible.

Posted by Clarissa (Member # 4715) on :

Tracy,

Would you mind coaching me for a Sat nite chat? I have no idea how to add my picture or even where to go?

I've never been in a chat room in my life!

I would LOVE to do that...I think it would be a much easier transition into dating then what I'm attempting to do right now.

I'd also love to put your faces to your names. It sounds like great fun.

Please do tell me how to participate.

Gratefully,

CLARISSA, ROTFL!! what a HOOT! [lol]

YOU outdid yourself on that one!! [kiss]

Posted by AZURE WISH (Member # 804) on :

Here is the link to lyme chat

http://www.lymediseaseaudio.com/lymechat.htm

it starts every night starting at 8 pm est.

Posted by Clarissa (Member # 4715) on :

Thanks, Azure Wish!

How do I add my picture? Or do I sign in first and then it will ask for my picture?

Do I sign in as my Lymenet name, Clarissa?

Sorry for so many questions but as "smart" as I may seem, I'm totally electronically handicapped!!

Very excited to do this! Yae!
[woohoo]

Posted by Clarissa (Member # 4715) on :

Thanks, Betty! I had SO much fun writing it and probably could have added 20 more things...but it's so true, don't you think?

Okay, call me stupid, but what is "ROTFL?"

PM me if it's not for virgin eyes [Big Grin]

Posted by AZURE WISH (Member # 804) on :

You sign in each time you enter chat.

You can use any name but I use my screen name here - its less confusing ...for at least me [dizzy]

I think tracy has the website with the photos (its a seperate site). I would pm her and ask for the link.

ROTFL = rolling on the floor laughing

[Smile]

Posted by Clarissa (Member # 4715) on :

Thank you and thank you. [Smile]

Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :

Yes, Clarissa, chat is great fun. [Smile]

Go to Tracy's myspace in her signature, our pictures are there. Send her a PM for her email address so you can email Tracy your picture, then she'll post it.

You have to have a myspace to view the pics. You can just set up a blank page, you don't have to get fancy.

Posted by Clarissa (Member # 4715) on :

SixGoofy: Thanks for the details! I've never tried tackling myspace b4 but I'll give it a whirl.

I SO look forward to matching faces with the names of the wonderful people I've met on here!

Thanks again,

As a 27 year old single male lymie, I would think dating a fellow lymie would be good and bad. Good she/he can releate, but bad she/he has it period. Lots of plus's though.

Posted by cantgiveupyet (Member # 8165) on :

Gi are you a Rockies fan?

I agree lots of pros and cons of dating a lymie.

Posted by Clarissa (Member # 4715) on :

After pondering this topic at length I see more pros than cons.

Personally, as I mentioned before, I think 90% of the population are carriers anyway and have no clue what Lyme(S)/Lime is and I'd rather be with someone who can talk the talk and is TRYING to walk the walk.

Quick story: Took my bunny to the vet yesterday and I started chatting with the vet techs.

Cut to: I had their mouths agape with info about Bart, Lyme and Co. I was there to get flea control for my INDOOR rabbit because I'm trying to bond her with an adoptable rabbit from a shelter (very clean, all buns treated with revolution but still and I wanted her extra-protected).

NO FLEAS IN THIS HOUSE, PEOPLE!! My Bart is in remission and if I have anything to say about it, it's STAYING in remission.

Anyway, I ended up giving them websites, forwarding them clips/articles, etc. In my opinion, they both have BART and one has Lyme, Babs and Bart.

They were SOOOO appreciative.

So my point: Vet techs don't even know about TBD's at great length (except for Merrygirl) and they're in the most "dangerous" field for what our hell has become.

I'd rather have someone in awareness, even if he can't goto the gym with me, has to bail every Friday night because he has a headache, would rather drink Mangosteen than Merlot, not have sex when I'm pms'd anyway (BONUS) and finally just empathize with each other because we're walking in the same shoes (or at least bought them from the same store).

Just my 2 cents. [Big Grin]
