From the outside, we do look nuts. I think that is our biggest problem.
Crazy sounding cures, crazy symptoms, the medical establishment dismissing us, to an outsider I can see why he/she would think we are nuts and be skeptical.

Not only that, but we're emotional and fed up as we move from doctor to doctor. ugh.

All of a sudden my boyfriend's new T-shirt has a whole new meaning. It has a picture of a squirrel holding a stick near a pile of nuts. Underneath it says "Protect your nuts!". Now I'll think "Gee, honey, thanks!"

huh, i don't even have to go there. some people on this board think i'm "nuts" too.
anyone who has relatives who vist who won't flush the toliet, looks better with her bra on backwards, stays in a dysfunctional marriage, talks to her dog's cremated remains, has a medicine cabinet bigger than her kitchen, who's got her doctor and pharmacy on fast dial, has to be a little off.

I know I'm crazy and actually, most people who know me think I'm nuts and that was before the lyme diagnosis and treatment and all my "crazy" babble! LOL!

I a little nutty...always have been, nothing caused by Lyme except my memory. I can now laugh about the same thing over and over until my son reminds me I already laughed about it.
There, I found something positive about Lyme!

In fact- I am thinking about some of his other songs with funny names/lyrics that have kept me going when not much else did. He has so many you can fill up a whole week listening to them all.
Here are a few random pics. And warning- you may be a little more crazy after listening to these songs!
Or was it the IDSA idiots that made us all crazy? Talk about IDiots, Jimmy wrote a song for them too.
(Warning- the language in this song is not appropriate for anyone who hasn't been badly affected by the IDSA. If I were a moderator I'd edit this link out, after I stopped laughing.)
