Two lymies were out driving in a car. As they were cruising along they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they just went on through.
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it, I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes they came to another intersection and the light was red again and again they went right through.
This time the woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close attention to the road and the next intersection to seewhat was going on.
At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right through and she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred! Did you know we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us! Mildred turned to her and said "Oh, am I driving?

Ha Ha. If only the people that drive in my car knew that's how I feel most of the time.

That would totally be something I would do. That is exactly why I stopped driving.

I love it! I used to always be the life of the party period! Now that I am so sick, my friends don't understand and they miss the old me. I wish I could tell them that I am still in there, just stuck in this body of an 80 year old.
I will soon have a sock or cloth protector too and I'm sure I will get lots of attention from it. Posts: 265 | From Oregon | Registered: Aug 2009

Very funny... and true too!
I haven't had the problem with lights yet... but one day I backed to the end of my driveway and was sitting there for an *extra* long time with no cars coming from either direction.
My nine year old daughter was in the car and she asked, "Mom, what are you waiting for."
I told her I was just trying to remember something... In reality, I was trying to remember what side of the road to drive on!

Hilarious and scary at the same time! I have to remind myself constantly at red lights that it's not a stop sign and that I can't just go as soon as it's clear, I have to wait until the light turns green. I sit there and chant in my head "Wait til it's green, wait til it's green...." Please don't report me to the DMV or I'll be out of a license!

I had Lyme brain today and my lyme is gone .. (senior moment?).
I tried 3 times to turn out the light in the hallway and I kept turning off the light in the living room instead (where my husband was sitting). I did it twice, then a few minutes later I did it again.
FINALLY remembered that the switch I needed was on the other side of the hallway! I've only lived here 3 yrs now!
I told my husband I just had Lyme brain and he said, "You always have Lyme brain!"

I hear ya lymetoo, been there, done that.
What's worse is, when you turn on a wrong light, and people are sleep in that room. Got in a lot of trouble doing that.

Could we please stop referring to people who have LD/cos as "lymies"?
Would we refer to people who have cancer as "canceries" or "cancergirls"
Or people who have heart disease as "hearties"
UGH, no OF COURSE NOT.
It's time to retire the phrase "Lymies"

I use the phrase "Lymies" to refer to the bugs, not to myself. This is a mean, nasty, devastating but, and calling them Lymies makes them not seem so scary.
I get embarrassed when I'm walking and all of a sudden cry out in pain for no apparant reason. So I tell my husband now, the Lymies are having a party in my ankle. Then we both joke and tell them, "Party's over! Everybody out!"

Okay guys****this one is great!
Two lymie couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?"
"Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught us all the latest psychological techniques - visualization, association - it made a huge difference for me."
"That's great! What was the name of the clinic?" Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that red flower with the long stem and thorns?" "You mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife. . ."Rose, what was the name of that clinic?"

Hi Robin, It's sounds like you been in this situation also!
Some days I forget the most simplest things. I think if they ever tested my internal functions, I'd end up with one of those white jackets on.
Three Lyme patients sit in the waiting room of their LLMD's office, discussing their health.
One says, "You know, I'm getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn't remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down."
The second says, "You think that's bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn't remember whether I was going to sleep or had just woken up!"
The third patient smiles smugly. "Well, my memory is just as good as it's always been, knock on wood," she says as she raps on the table. Then with a startled look on her face, she asks, "Who's there?"

Steve, your most recent joke about Lyme folks not remembering what was going on reminds me of a friend who got up and went to her dentist appt scheduled for 8 am.
When she got there, there was no one there except for an office worker, who wondered why my friend was there, since it was 8pm and the office was closed. My friend thought 8pm at night was actually 8am!

Robbin, I know that's sad about friend but, I'm sorry that's to funny!!!!
