Dear Abby -- I have just found out that ketes have eaten my chakras and my plexi, essentially leaving me plexiless. I tried to locate my deepest stirrings but I stirred not. I tried to locate my balance point but tripped over it. I tried to communicate what I was going through but only garbled my words, as in I bargled it. I did manage in spite of everything to become one with my ketes, however, so I guess all is not lost. What advice do you have for me?

Dear Sans krit,
Anyone who lets an unwelcome guest in and allows them to eat up their Chakra and plexi's needs better direction in their life.
Try not to trip over your lower lip when I tell you that becoming one with your chete's is not the best thing you can do...
In fact you should employ any and all means to rid yourself of same.
I know this advice isn't what you bargled for but it's the best I can do at this time...

I'm having a hard time locating my explexus, due to ketes having et my plexi. I would like a little more support from it, which is not forthcoming at this time. In fact, I haven't heard from my explexus in quite some time. Please advise.

dear robin, we've located your explexus, it on the Borg mother ship. it will be assimitated with the other explexus, on board. Resistance is futile, since Captain Wormser is in charge of explexuses or explexi. you have no chance of ever seeing it again.
wait here comes captain stricker to the rescue. but you have already been assimilated. tuff luck. maybe he can find your apaplexis or your neuronexis, stay tuned to the continuing life of lt. robin erlychiosis and her coinfections

When I saw William Shatner on his present TV series, I was shocked at his periorbital edema.
He has so much swelling around the eyes.
I have this too, but not to his extent. It can be caused by thyroid problems, probably triggered by Lyme. Or maybe some other hormone problem triggered by Lyme.
Just some thoughts. Carol

Here I is!! Back from some strange outergalac-tick adventure with the cling-ons. And some explexi! They have some nerve, being so far out there.
I think you need a really good marching band for the NY rally, with some really good bass drums and y'all sing the Tick Marching songs! Xerox 'em for everyone!! BOOM BOOM BOOM!! Can any of you arrange this? I would if I were on the East coast!! Calling on high school/college marching bands -- do it!! Make some fun noise!! And all wear your closest version of lyme-green clothing...
And while you're at it, pick out and xerox some of the other songs from the Lymenuts collection to sing too --
Put the kids out in front for the kids' songs. Have them prance around while everyone sings the versions. Kids dressed as ticks, spirochetes, etc. Put all the I'm a Little Teapot Lymenut versions together on a page. Here's another:
We are little Lymenuts, hear us out! This is our message: tick facts we spout. We are good and ready -- hear us shout: IDSA, you are out! IDSA, you are out!

I love the idea of a marching band at the rally. Everyone wear boots so we can squish bugs along the parade route.
Robin, I'm sure you're already working on the lyrics to "And when the ticks come marching in..."
Anyone know how to twirl a baton? Or a Bicillin syringe?

Ok, another number for the band. Now you need a cast of ticks too.
I made one for my San Francisco city hall testimony on Halloween -- wrap four black plastic bags around a pillow case and poke their two tie loops out each time for a total of eight leg loops...et voila, un pet tick...

we can get the green hornet marching band or the jets marching band wears lyme green.
we can get biily boy to be our spokesperson, maybe if we name our price to wormser he can negotiate a sale. we can tell him we want a 5 star ids not the 1 star they gave us.

Hey Robin...
Don't you remember sweet talkin guy?
Anyway...no...I could'nt make the rally...I had a flareup of transient shingles like pain accross my lower back from hip to hip...
Really bad for a week and a half. Thought it would go away in time...it did'nt.
It's feeling better today. It may have been a herxy thing due to switching to a cephalosporin durring my usual monthly flare(usually hits me around 20th every month).
I just can't wait for my december flare...Usually December and June are my worst months...a six month cycle....which is always worse than my usual monthly cycle...
SEE you girls are'nt the ONLY ones with a cycle!
I'm gonna call it....LCCS....Lyme Craziness cycle syndrome...it's worse than PMS...although I never experienced that in person...just nuttso women I've encountered in my life....LOL

Hi Tonyz -- sorry about your shingles case. Maybe we should call you a shingle singer, as in the swingle singers?
Hm...a Lyme/co song on cycles...
Ok -- I'm offering up a cyclic song for today, the first day of December...
(Try to remember)
Try to remember -- don't think I remember -- Oh, life is slow and not so mellow. Try to remember -- don't think I remember -- When grass was green, a tick said "hello".
Try to remember -- don't think I remember -- When I was so tender to you, tick fellow. Try to remember -- I think my brain's ember Is fallow.
Deep in December, it's hard to remember Although you know this song lies fallow. Deep in December, it's hard to remember Because we hurt, the heart will wallow.
Deep in December, it's hard to remember The bite of tick member that made life jello. Deep in December, it's hard to remember -- I'm fallow.

ONE SONG FOR ME: A Hard Day's Night Beatles
It's been a hard day's night And I've been HURTING like a dog. It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log. But when I get home to you, I find the things that you do Will make me feel LIKE CRAP. You know I'M SICK ALL day MY DISABILITY get's you money to buy you things. And it's worth it just to SEE you GO, You're gonna give me NOTHING. So why on earth should I moan, 'Cos when I you LEAVE ME alone I know I WILL BE okay. When I'm home everything seems to be right. When I'm home HOLDING MY DOGS tight, tight, yeah. It's been a hard day's night And I've been HURTING like a dog. It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log. But when I get home to AN EMPTY HOUSE, I find the things that you DID BUT I Will EVENTUALLY feel alright. So why on earth should I moan, 'Cos when I AM ALL alone I know I'LL feel okay. When I'm home everything seems to be right. When I'm home holding MY DOGS tight, tight, yeah. It's been a hard day's night And I've been HURTING like a dog. AND I know I'LL feel alright.

Two days now since I've heard the ringing rhyming in my head. I try to turn them off but I hear every word that's said.
I really want to run away or cover up in bed, But either way I'm still with me, and that includes my head.
Always, there inside my brain, this side talks to that, Then one wants some quite time and the other wants to chat.
Usually they work together; often times they play, But when they spend it bickering, it wastes away the day.
Sometimes it's a benefit, two heads inside my hat; Then one gets mad, and demands to know `why did you say that!'

Then my other voice says: that's no rewrite from Von -- that's an original little poem
And then we got together on another cheery xmas lymesong:
You better watch out, We know you will cry, We know you will pout, We're telling you why: Infected ticks are coming to town.
They're hard to resist, You might get bit twice, They will bite you Whether naughty or nice: Infected ticks are coming to town.
They bite you when you're sleeping, They bite when you're awake, They bite, then you've been had for good -- Understood, you'll start to ache.
Oh, you better watch out, We know you will cry, We know you will pout, We're telling you why: Infected ticks are coming to town.

Ok, I started singing this first line tonight and worked my way through the song -- first pass:
(Matchmaker, matchmaker) Lymenutter, Lymenutter, make me a rhyme, rhyme it with Lyme -- crazy pastime. Lymenutter, Lymenutter, look at your hook and make me a per-Lyme rhyme.
Lymenutter, Lymenutter, is there a way to have your say, in a wordplay? Day after day we all go through the fray, no envy of all today.
Now Lymenut, make it a haha or Lymenut, with the truth make it ring. For me, well, I wouldn't care if I just found a way to escape this thing...
Rhymemaker, Lyme acher, rhyme me away Lymetime away, through your wordplay Night after night asking what rhymes with 'bite', we'll find a word match for this site.
Lymenutter, Lymenutter, we know that we're still very green, with ring in our ear. Now that we're in it, it's now understood that rhyming could be for good.
Dear Lymenut, though we are mental, remember, we're still here for the ride. We don't want to be ornamental - about Lyme I'd rather be bona fide.
Lymenutter, Lymenutter, scan me Lyme scans with our Lyme mush; maybe we've learned - Play with word matches: CD can get burned?
So find me the rhyme, distract me this time, sing me the crime, help me to climb out of this morass we're in!

I got bit Down by the crik By a tick, Picking up sticks
Protect the Steelhead, That's what the sign said Planting trees Brush past to my knees
They'll attack on your back, Or your rump behind a stump,
So if you gotta pee, Listen to me, By the grass, Watch you're a**

OK, don't know the rest of the lyrics -- repeat first stanza.
Never thought I would get the word "lysing" in a song -- kind of cool!

You go girl! (Am guessing Robin is a girl...)
Glad you picked up on the Jingle Bell Herx lyrics, I did not make it past that first catchy refrain!
Deck the ducks with ticks and moxie Fa la la la la, la la la la Tis the season to take doxy Fa la la la la, la la la la Don we now our prepped up lawsuits Fa la la, fa la la, la la la For symptoms now are chronic not acute Fa la la la la, la la la la
how are stymie's knees doing?

Thx, Vermont, for your addition and thx for herx idea. Yep, I'sa goil. And you? And it's not Stymie's knees that are the issue -- it's his brain -- he says he had a brain transplant, thinks he got Barbara Streisand's. Now he can really channel "Memories".

Robin,
You continue to amaze me, and I'm sure all of us, with the quality and quantity of your lyrics! There should be an honorary Grammy for you!
I particularly appreciate The First No-Well. Why is it that I seem to take downturns in health right before the holidays these past several years? Oh well, it gives me a reason to say Bah Humbug!
Keep up the creativity - and Dave, keep getting better!
Jill

Thx, Jill -- maybe an honorary Lymie Grammy is a Grymie? Perhaps you can find a way to put Bah Humbug to a song for us...
And congrats, Stymie -- that's great news -- I mean about your knee, not your soprano voice...or are you now going to be Doc Streisand? I know, 12 pages, amazing, and I'm still going at it, and if anyone else wants to post songs, please, please, please do re mi fa so lyme us...
Maybe I should make a song about this:
dough -- the stuff we do not keep re -- of hope we'd like to have mi -- and us, I call my ketes fa -- low anything that works so -- can you keep Lyme at bay? la -- la land, that's how we feel ti -- ck, in a jam with Lyme not to leave out any co - o - o - o's...

Jill, on a serious note...I have major flares every six months...June and December...I'm suggesting that you may be on the same timetable(cycle)as myself.
on a less serious note....
Stymie...I can see that the frontal labotomy is doing wonders for at least one of your personalities...
Can't say too much about the one that's left....and I do mean left!(democrat libral)...
not that there's anything wrong with that!
LOL

more songs docbarb: "doctors, doctors who love themselves, are the happiest doctors in the world.
people, people who need doctors, are the unluckiest people in the world.
vermont lymie: Memories May be beautiful but yet What is too painful to remember Is quite easy for a lymie to forget!!
And so that is the sad story The entire foggy story Of the Way Lyme Goes
I saw that movie one too many times!
Glad to hear all goes well with your new brain. I am having some dog days but the new abx should mop all that up soon, hopefully! Take care and keep singing!

Yes, a Grammy for Robin -- prolific song-writing creativity in a major disease category!
Or, we can call it the first annual Lymie award, or the Gram Negative Awards! With Stymie, master of ceremonies.
Robin, I hadn't answered your earlier question, am a bit beleaguered and sleep deprived this week -- I see that you have a brooklyn accent! That's how my family speaks -- you goils. Yes, girl here too. Probably only a girl would say "you go girl" to someone, but we will have to ask oprah on that!

President Bush went to a neurologist. She gave him an MRI and brain scan, and had to deliver the results and bad news to him directly:
She said, "Mr. President, we looked at the left side of your brain, and found there is nothing right."
"And then we looked at the right side of your brain -- and found there was nothing left!"
Sorry, not a song, but perhaps we can put it to music...

Thx, Vermont, for the honor of receiving an honorary Lymie Grammy. I also award Lymie Grammies to all who have posted lyme/co songs here.
And a special mc Lymie Grammy award to Stymie, who we award a Stymie Lymie Grammy, to be shared with Barbara Streisand.
And if anyone who's posted lymesongs is also a granny, then they get an honorary Lymie Granny Grammy award too. And if anyone here is named Sammy or is a nanny or has a big fanny, well, I'll stop there...
Runner-up major disease song categories are:
DRUM ROLL
AIDS -- "Wasting away, my boy, wasting away"(Anchors Away)
Alzheimers -- most song entries were forgotten, except for "Try to Remember" and "My brain has plaque, yes there's gonna be trouble" (My Boyfriend's Back)
Breast cancer -- "Mammaries, oh the way they used to be..."
Diabetes -- "Ain't She Sweet"
Gallstones -- "Like a Rolling Stone"
Heart disease -- "I left my heart in San Francisco, why, it was ill, had surgery"
Leprosy -- "Feelings, nothing more of feelings"
Parkinson's -- "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On"
Pneumonia -- "I'm all stuffed up"(I'm all shook up)
What a wonderful song career I could have...

Pretty good stuff Robin...
But how about
Alziemers as the follow song...Try to remember the kind of september...etc
Leprosy...patsy kline....I fall to pieces....
I liked your parkinsons...
lyme....I can't live if livin is without you(abx)
wormser and company.....send in the clowns
and then there was
I'll be sick(home) for christmas...
And then the chestnuts roasting song...
Deer ticks roasting on an open fire Bb nibbling on my brain ID guidlines will help my hmo Refuse me what I need to survive
They know that lyme is a confusing disease and testing does'nt always work lymie folks with a rash all aglow will find it hard to sleep most nights
They say that wormser and his friends have got a wonder pill to kill off all our woes and every lymie knows that tales untrue cuz they've been sick eve'n after lots O pills
and so I'm offering this simple phrase To ducks and Hmo's all round Kiss my A$$,cuz you're all full of sh!t I hope you get a tick bite soon

Ok, my magnus opus for today, and for this being the week of Chanuka, is the following song. Warning: this is not funny; it's a serious rewrite. It's dedicated to Lyme/co activism. Even if you're not Jewish, you can still sing it.(Drum roll: post number 400 in the CD hits site)
(Rock of Ages)
1)Shock and rages: let our song raise our altering power. In our midst a ranging foe, its bite built to devour.
Impervious, ticks assail us, but alarm avails us, and our words provoke discord when our own strength ails us.
And our words provoke discord when our own strength ails us.
2)Children -- not a martyred race. Better free than fettered. Take the echoes of this song where ye may be shattered.
Ours the message veering towards a time to be nearing which will see all then free, tickbites disappearing.
Which will see all then free, tickbites disappearing.
3)Dwindling now the ignorance. We disapprove of suffering. You're a guide to nations cryin'. Ought to prod with this offering.
Ticks, their torts surrounding, coinfections abounding. Unhappy throngs, righting wrongs with a mighty hounding.
Unhappy throngs, righting wrongs with a mighty hounding.
