Thx for re-posting your song, cobweb mitty -- appreci-ate the changes --
yes ahem, rolling right along here -- what I really want to know is: can a steam roller flatten a tick?
As we say in music, better C# or you'll Bb!(that's flat, folks, NOT burgdorferi -- nope, no burgdorferi key in music)

Ok -- a Thanksgiving song for eddybody -- I know we don't have enuf research or treatments or clues about Lyme/coinfections yet, so this is the best I could do, given the current circumstances...
WE GATHER TOGETHER
We gather together to unmask what is missing -- We chasten the I*D*S*A to make known Their guidelines oppressing, humanity distressing, To speak up is our aim -- don't forget: truth's our own.
Inside us to guide us, our truths we are finding, Revealing and feeling our Lyme/co design. So from the beginning, this fight we must be winning, And share our words online, Lyme-storied grapevine.
We all do extol you, I*LADS -- be triumphant, And pray your defense work successful will be. Your call for retraction, with our collective action -- Our spirits we will raise, to help make us free!

ok guys -- this definitely belongs in the CD album category BELIEVE IT OR NOT(BELIEVE IT OR NUT?) --
I absentmindedly typed in www.lymenuts.org and to my great surprise, discovered that we've been beaten to the punch --
one of the first entries there lets you know there's been a Nut Lady with a Nut Museum in the town of Old Lyme -- she is Elizabeth Tashjian, she's 93 yrs old now and still nuts evidently and she sings her own self-penned nut songs. She had an exhibit called Nuts in the Limelight -- I kid you not!
We must have been channeling her...In a lymenutshell, how psychic can you get? Lymenut Culturists, that's what we be...

One for the country on this our voting day...

And whoever wins, in any house and senate race, they will need to hear from us about moving the congressional funding bills forward...

Buying someone's URL or name if trademarked (I doubt hers is) can be expensive.
Let's invite her to join our Lymenut - she can be one of the Coinfections back-up singers and wear a lovely tutu!
Who could turn down an offer like that?
I wish I had kept my ballet toe shoes from my youth - I didn't realize I'd ever dance the nutcracker again.
I am looking forward to being in CATS. Perhaps I'll be on Rifampin then for the Bartonella - in fact, it could be an all-Cat-Scratch-Disease cast!!

So Jill -- which part are you going to dance in the lymenutcracker?
I think Elizabeth Tashjian might be open to singing with the Coinfections -- she's already had a nut limelight show -- she could be our positive ELIZA -- It's Positively ELIZA and the Coinfections
And yes, we need a cat-scratch number in TICKS! Stymie???
OK, for tonite's history lesson, there WAS a Limeliters group -- a trio that got started in 1959 and put out a lot of popular records. I was a kid when I heard their album Through Children's Eyes -- anyone here ever hear any Limeliters records?
There was a song they sang:
Stay on the Sunny Side, always on the sunny side, stay on the sunny side of life. You'll feel no pain as we drive you insane, if you stay on the sunny side of life.
So of course my IDSA rewrite is:
Stay on the Money Side, always on the money side, stay on the money side of life. We'll feel the gain as we drive you insane, as we stay on the money side of life.

Robin,
You are brilliant, as usual.
Of course Elizabeth would want to join our group, and I love the Positive ELIZA.
Do you remember those old black-and-white Buzby Berkeley films on TV, where the dancers form a circle, then the cameras show them from above?
We could have our dancers form a bulls-eye rash!
That way, we'd have a positive ELIZA/ELISA and a bulls-eye rash. That means our musical would actually comply with new IDSA guidelines!
In terms of which role I will dance in the lymenutcracker, I was a ballerina as a child. But now as an adult with Lyme, is there a role for someone with Achilles Tendon damage, neuropathy and muscle pain?
Perhaps there is a role where I can just be sitting down. But I still want to wear a tutu - that's the whole motivation.
Sorry, docdave, that you're not feeling well.
Take care, Jill

Jill, I love it -- come one, come all to see the Lyme ballet musical that complies with IDSA guidelines!! Come see the Lymenuts with their Positive Eliza(maybe we need a group of the Positive Elizas) and their amazing bull's eye rash choreography!
Now we need a Lyme choreographer for the dance of the tick bite, followed by the Busby Berkeley Bull's Eye Bash!
Then in dances a little solo doxy tablet, followed by 14(two weeks worth) doxydancers, and then the rest of the efforts to Get Anywhere At All by the rest of the company. Including the can-can number of the positive ELIZAS. Yes, you can-can get a positive Eliza too. We could sell Positive Eliza dolls.
No wait -- this one sounds like a Beach Blanket Babylon plot. Snow White tries to find her prince in this long-running San Francisco show. So in ours, she's looking for what? an llmd? a positive Elisa? A positive test result? A cure?
How you would dance -- there have been lots of ballets where dancers move the limbs of other dancers. So those with lyme can remain seated and have their limbs gently moved by well dancers.
Interesting that you mention achilles heel tendon damage. That happened to me last year and no one had a clue what was happening.
I went through a year of physical therapy efforts before a nurse ONLINE figured out I probably had Lyme. NOT ONE medical person here figured it out in the 25 years I spent trying to find out and treat what was going on.
I then informed the physical therapy place -- they were not aware of Lyme disease! And they treat our bodies. Incredible. Well, now they know...

My Achilles Tendon issues are from quinolones/Bart treatment (hence my perfect qualification to star in the Lymenuts version of CATS. Plus, I got Lyme from a tick on a cat, so it all comes full circle (like a bulls-eye!)
Given my impaired condition, rather than have a male ballet dancer dance with me, perhaps a physical therapist could!! If I go into muscle spasm, he could throw a hot pack on me or chase me with a little ultrasound or TENS unit.
Oh, the choreographic possibilities!!

Some physical therapists were previously dancers who got injured -- so they could choreograph the pt ballet, with staged placement of their equipment, therabands to move us gently, heat pack pas de deux -- definitely ultra sound ideas for our kind...
Thx for letting me know about your Achilles heel issues. Looks like our predicaments spring from various sources.
And you do have a natural role in the TICKS/CATS musical. I wonder which cat number in Cats could be adapted for a cat scratch song...

We are sixteen, going on sixty, yes, it is all absurd how ticks with Lyme and other infections bite us, with lives deferred.
We are sixteen, going on sixty, just learnin' 'bout this plague. It doesn't help that doctors are spreading info that's false and vague.
Totally unprepared are they -- the I*D*S*A docs who owe allegiance to their peers and to insurance hawks.
World is seventeen, going on seventy, we'll tell you what to do: tick repellant, going on pre-bite will take care of you.

Lymewreck -- we've raised a googleplex of zeroes in American money, euros and pesos for the Steerites so far. The bidding is still open if you care to throw in additional currencies. We're giving them absolutely nothing since nothing they do seems to work for us.
Cave -- lol -- I had no idea doxy was so sexy -- does that help or hinder our cause? -- so pray tell, which more-discrete antibiotic should I audition next for the dance troupe number?

Young man, there's a need to feel down, I said, young man, there's a need to frown, I said, young man, there's lyme in this town. There's no need to be happy.

Carol,
You and I must have been having a mind-meld. Just moments ago, I was blow-drying my hair, when suddenly the song YMCA popped into my head out of nowhere.
Figuring I was just having some blow-dryer induced musical hallucination, I didn't think anything of it. But then, I thought - the Lymenuts - this would be perfect.
I raced to the computer with half-wet hair (yes, risking electrocution), logged on, and there was your spectacularly written song. You did a great job!!!
And it just calls for some wonderful choreography.
The question is, are we going to dress up like the Village People, but still wear our tutus over the costumes?
Thanks for the great laugh!
Jill

Singing the songs on this thread outloud is the best way to enjoy them. Also you exercise your diaphram and increase the oxygen level in your blood. (Lyme is anerobic right)
Some of the posts on this thread could cause you to laugh so hard you could benefit from laughter induced exercise and actually increase your oxygen levels.
Why not throw in that you would burn more calories, and increase your metabolism thereby promoting weightloss.

Cobweb, you're the first to submit IDSA. It's perfecto! I immediately ran to the mirror to spell it out -- had to work on the D to S transition...
I propose that when Lymies meet, we work out the song gestures. The S maneuver reminded me of squiggly spirochetes. It'd be great for a meeting break.
The Village ID-iots can still wear tutus.
Jill -- I know -- this song-finding thing has taken over my life for its own -- it's like a bacterial song infection. Walking down the street and ok, here comes another one:
There I was just a-walkin' down the street, Singing Do a ditty, ditty dumb ducky doo. Snapping my zingers and a-shufflin' to the beat, Singing Do lyme ditty, ditty dumb ticky doo.
The rest of it will arrive during my next walk...
MommaK -- I assign you the task of finding Elizabeth -- check with nursing homes in the Old Lyme area -- tell them it's urgent -- that we are seeking our lead singer since we're already thinking about booking our first engagement at the Limelight in Old Lyme for Positively Eliza and the Lymenuts. Ask if the nursing home can run her Lyme/co bloodtests for us.
Also, your explanations of benefits to be gained from singing our Lymenut songs could provide excellent endorsements on the covers of our CDs: Singing these songs promotes weightloss and improves health!

Carol,
I think we could put together a Lyme exercise VIDEO as an adjunct to the CD. Then we can sell it on late-night informercials (We Lymies have insomnia, we'd be watching!)
I lived in L.A. when Jane Fonda had her exercise studio there. We could open a chain of studios, proudly announcing 'No Pain, No Lyme" and wear our tutus to class.
And yes, I still have enough hair to blow-dry. But if my hormones and thyroid keep going down the current road, this may be a short-lived grooming exercise!

Here's the Beginning I'm-A-Lymenut Anaerobic Exercise Class Video for your ketes!
1) Let video just sit there.
2) If you have any energy left, stick it in the machine and watch however much you can handle. It depicts the life cycle of a kete, in real time.
3) Be sure to lie down the whole time.
4) Try not to breathe too much.
5) Fall asleep during the slow parts.
6) Say after me: 1,2,3,4; do we hear a little snore?
7) Wake up, don't sleep anymore -- you have insomnia, remember? if you can't remember, then forget about sleeping.
8) Say after me: 5,6,7,8; my energy, depreciate.
9) Repeat cycle.

I'm-A-Lymenut anaerobic exercise video for your ketes!
This is too funny-but right on target. I have a suggestion though-to make it more rigorous I would suggest a rollover to keep circulation going, or perhaps a pillow squeeze once in a while.
Just a thought-that's mostly all I have these days-thoughts which very rarely make it into action.

Announcing the arrival of the I'm-A Lymenut Intermediate Anaerobic Exercise Class Video!
This intermediate anaerobic exercise video will help you to make slight efforts, but still maintain a reasonable anaerobic experience for your ketes.
This video begins with the division of a spirokete. (Remember, this is more advanced than the starter I'm-A-Lymenut Anaerobic Exercise Video, so you may want to work with the first one for the first couple weeks before attempting the intermediate video.)
PART ONE: Slight Repositioning
1) As our spirokete begins to divide, you may consider moving one of your limbs.
2) That's enough! You can relax now.
3) Let's try again. Consider that slight repositioning of all your limbs in order to (don't tell the ketes) improve circulation.
4) Stop! Take a five-minute break.
5) Ok, here we go! Choose direction of your choice, and roll, roll, ROLL -- you're on a roll -- you can do it!
6) Congratulations! You have achieved a slightly new position. Maintain new position as you watch the next kete growth on your video.
PART TWO: Pillow Squeeze
Requires an initial positioning with pillow between two limbs of your choice. If you have to make the effort to find and position your pillow, please wait at least ten minutes before starting Part Two.
1) As you watch your video's newly-divided spiroketes perform a slow push-off motion, think about squeezing your pillow.
2) Relax.
3) Ok, think again about squeezing that pillow. This time, say three times: "ATP pump, pumping up."
4) Upon completion of third statement, gently squeeze that pillow.
5) Relax.
6) Do steps 3-5 three times.
7) Very good. Now for the wind-down: say "Dump, dump, ATP pump" three times.
8) Take a well-deserved nap.

Bidding funraising history: we raised an amazing amount of zeroes for advance Lymenuts CDs, with all proceeds going to the ducks.
Bidding started at $00.00, went to $000.00, then $0000.00(which was retracted), then 12 zeroes, followed by a doubling to 24 zeroes, then a googleplex of zeroes hit the tickpot.
Ensuite, a googleplex bid of euros; entonces, a googleplex bid of muchos pesos.
Bidding is still open, especially for international currencies.

Let's Play ADD A VERSE:
The ticks go crawling one by one, watch out watch out The ticks go crawling one by one, watch out watch out The ticks go crawling one by one, The little one stops to suck your thumb, And they all go crawling up from the ground To get into your hair, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM
The ticks go crawling two by two, watch out watch out...

Hi guys,
LOVE the I'm-A-Lymenut anaerobic exercise video -- this sounds like something that me and my couch have been working on for some time!
I have been away on the road last week, touring possible locales for production of TICKS, the musical.
Many venues interested, theatre directors especially like the $00000..0000 donation to IDSA.
Robin, can we add this to the menu: wasn't there an old song, "You put the lyme in the coconut and mix it all up!"

Vermont, did you book TICKS! anywhere? Hope you told them we have a googleplex of zeroes in backing.
Yeah, the lime in the coconut song -- we oughta work that one out. Someone wrote earlier in our site -- can't find the post -- to a duck: Put de lyme in your throat, you nut, and swish it all around.
First runthrough(can be group effort here...):
Brother saw a ducktor nut, he thought it was a crime Duck mister told a little lie; we pay big for our Lyme.
I say, Ducktor, ain't there nothin' I can take, I say, Ducktor, to relieve this hella ache?
So Ducktor, won't you put de lyme in your throat, you nut, and swish it all around? So Ducktor, won't you put de lyme in your throat, you nut, and tell us you feel better?

Announcing the I'm-a-Lymenut Advanced Anaerobics* Exercise Class Video!!!
Featuring the Lymenuts song hit I*D*S*A by the Village IDiots and Cobweb!
You have already begun your anaerobics exercise program with your beginning anaerobics video, and contemplated and managed small motions with your intermediate anaerobics video.
The Advanced Anaerobics* video requires you to manage some quicker movements.
Since this is a more active anaerobics* video, we have chosen to fast-forward the motions of the ketes for your viewing expiration.
(*There is current debate about whether this video is an anaerobic or aerobic exercise program. Studies are underway at Duck U)
PART ONE:
You may either be in a reclining or upright position as you sing along with the verse lyrics:
Young man, there's a need to feel down I said, young man, there's a need to frown I said, young man, there's Lyme in the town There's no need to be happy.
Young man, there's no place you can go Where they won't take your dough You can ask any duck, and I'm sure you will find Many ways to avoid a diagnosis for Lyme.
It's no fun to deal with the...
Ok, here we go!!!
Upon hearing the I*D*S*A chorus, you may just watch this first time through.
For the "I", notice the anaerobics* instructor bringing their forearms together to form the "I".
Consider the motion to be akin to a vertical prayer position, and of course the prayer is that you can complete the rest of the motions.
For the "D", remember(don't forget, you are facing a kete audience) that the round part of the "D" goes to the left.
Hold that vertical right arm steady as you form the round "D" by keeping your fingertips together and swinging the elbow of your left arm out to the side.
The "S": this is the letter about which there is the most debate as to whether it crosses over into aerobic exercise. Take it easy, just in case.
Remember, we are making a backwards "S" for our kete audience. The "S" begins with the right hand motioning the top part of the "S" to the right.
When it comes to the curve turn, let the left hand pick up from there and complete the curve to the left.
The "A" -- last one! Bring fingertips together and raise both arms up to form the "A".
Very good! Don't forget to remember that this first time through was just an observation exercise. Take a break before starting Part Two.
PART TWO: The Anaerobic* I*D*S*A!
Here we go!
Sing along with the verse. When the chorus arrives, Prepare your arms for the coming forearm contact. When the chorus arrives,
1)"I" -- Forearms together! 2)"D" -- Keep finger tips together. Bring left arm elbow out to the side.
3)"S" -- Right arm scoops top "S" to the right and towards center. Left hand scoops rest of the "S" from right hand center out towards left and around to center.
4)"A" -- Bring your lefthand fingertips to right hand fingertips and raise both up.
Congratulations! You have just completed your first runthrough of your advanced anaerobics* I*D*S*A video!
You may rest, go blank, do whatever you need to do for your ketes' comfort. We encourage multiple viewings of your I'm-A-Lymenut Advanced Anaerobics* video for best results.
*don't forget -- there is not current agreement on whether this video is anaerobic or aerobic. Data is expected within the next ten years.

Robin, you go girl!
Is this the Village People singing *I*D*S*A*
or the Lymenuts? Do we get to dress up as the Cop and Fireman?
Yes, many theatres are interested in TICKS -- some want to wait for the movie, but first in line for production are the Lymes in Connecticut -- East Lyme, Old Lyme, etc. Pride of place, I guess!

Yup, this is the Village People, with or without ticks.
You may dress in whatever garb allows you to perform at your anaerobic best.
Maybe we could get Lymemomtoo to start designing some costumes for TICKS! -- the cat-scratch chorus, etc.

SONG TWO OF TICKS THE MUSICAL
Song: Naming of Cats
NAMING OF LYME
The naming of a LYMIE is a difficult matter It isn't just one of your DUCK games You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you LYME must have three different names
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily Such as CRAZY, WACKO, LAZY or DEPRESSED Such as HYPO or FAKER, BURNED OUT or STRESSED All of them sensible, everyday names
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames Such as BABS, ERLIC,BART, DEMENTED But all of them sensible everyday names
But I tell you a LYMIE needs a name that's particular A name that's peculiar, and more dignified Else how can he keep up his HEAD perpendicular Or spread out his ARMS, or cherish his PITY?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum Such as Munchousan, Quaxo or WEARDZO Such as BORRELLIA,or else BOREDOM Names that never belong to more than one LYMIE
But above and beyond there's still one name left over And that is the name that you never will guess The name that STEERE INHUMAN research can NEVER discover But ONLY himself knows, and will never confess
When you notice a LYMIE in profound meditation The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of NO thought Of NO thought Of NO thought Of his name ?????
His ineffable effable effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular name

Song: Moments of Happiness
MOMENTS OF GRIEF The moments of GRIEF. . . We had the experience but missed the meaning And approach to the meaning restores the experience In a different form, beyond any meaning We can assign to GRIEF . . .
The past experience LOST in the FOG Is not the experience of one life only But of many generations - not forgetting Something that is probably quite ineffable
SUNLIGHT, turn your face AWAY FROM the SUNLIGHT Let your BRAIN FOG lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin
SUNLIGHT, turn your face FROM the SUNLIGHT Let your BRAIN FOG lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the meaning of what DESPIRATION is Then YOUR new life will begin

ticks act 2
Song: The Moments of Happiness Lyrics
The moments of happiness . . . We had some experiences but missed our lives And treatment in our lives restores the experience In a different form,in a different body, beyond any understanding We can assign to happiness . . .
The past experience revived in the meaning Is not the experience of one life only But of many thousands - not forgetting, Something that is probably quite ineffable
Sunlight, turn your face away from the sunlight Let your brain fog memory lead you Open up, pills in If you find that they finally work You will remember what happiness is Then a new life will begin

Hey -- what about some rounds? Just realized we don't have any polyphonic lymesongs yet. A tick tsk on that. And we are now at page 10. Lymenut-ten along...
A-10------SHUN! -- Needs remedy! -- I'll start it out:
(Frere Jacque) My lost brain cells, my lost brain cells Where'd they go? Where'd they go? Ketes have eaten neurons, I am now a moron Lymie blank, Lymie blank.
My lost body, my lost body Where'd it go? Where'd it go? Ketes have eaten brunch here, also eaten lunch here Din-din too, din-din too.
Ok, next one:
(Row, row, row your boat) Oh, oh, no -- a tick! I am gonna scream! Verily, verily, verily, verily This is not a dream.
Yo-yo like a toy I am out of steam. Barely, barely, barely, barely meds my life redeem.
(I have not brought my specs with me) I cannot sleep, I cannot see I havent got my sanity It's ticks that brought my Lyme to me.
Ok, roundticksong gauntlet thrown down...

Ring a round the rosie
Pockets full of posy
Ashes, ashes,
We all fall down!
Sorry, I realize this children's song sounds a bit morbid in this context, and I do not want to depress folks, we have enough to deal with already!
But Robin got me going here -- and it is interesting to note that this common children's rhyme and song dates back to the medieval plague itself (yes, that plague, the black death). Welcome to the new plague! But thanks to antibiotics and all the good remedies and support posted on lymenet, we have a much better outcome then the original plague!!

We have for your singing pleasure two songs contributed by a ghost songwriter with the moniker of Bashful...
Now all we need is for Grumpy, Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey and Doc to show up...Well, I guess I alternate between grumpy, happy and sleepy, and we do have plenty of dopey docs out there...is anyone sneezing?
(What do you get when you fall in love?)
What do you get when you see a duck? You get enough ELISAs to catch pneumonia Then with denials he'll start to phone ya -- I'll never trust a duck again.
What do you get from your HMO? You only get lies, pain and trials That's what you get besides denials -- I'll never see a duck again.
(Help!)
Back when I had my health, it seems so long ago I never needed any help from my HMO But now these days are gone, and I'm not so sure Misdiagnosed, denied care, I hope I find a cure.
Help me if you can, I'm going down And I do appreciate you being 'round Help me turn my HMO around Won't you please, please help me!

Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Oh, dear, what the...? -- IDSA docs say "so long" to our care.
They promise to bypass us if there's no bull's eye rash Then with their guile, oh they vow test not positive A promise to cure us with one dose of doxy will tie up our lives in despair.
Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Oh, dear, what can the matter be? ID docs, they're so unfair.
They promise to bring us a casket for Lyme/co's -- Some antibiotics for only few weeks goes too little, so that will set off all blue Lymies to pry up insurance fraud fare.
Oh dear, that's what the matter is Oh dear, that's what the matter is Oh dear, that's what the matter is On that we Lymies are clear.

My best wishes to all for the holiday!
How about a Dylan song for the end of TICKS!
Forever Young (Forever Cured)
May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young, Forever cured, forever cured, May you stay forever cured.
May you grow up to be righteous, May you grow up to be true, May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, Stand upright and be strong, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful, May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young,
Forever cured, forever cured, May you stay forever cured.
