Great songs! First time I've smiled all day. I'd thank everyone by name personally but it seems to be a herx day complete with bone pain, blurry vision and apparently memory loss. I keep forgetting what I'm about to type. Having trouble spelling and typing (hard to believe I'm a secretary huh?). In fact I feel so awful I'm crawling back to my bed. I hope to emerge later feeling better. The only good part about these days is that when I feel this bad, I take a Zithro and know I'm killing some of those critters off. I'll come back later with a more upbeat Christmas tune.

My bones ache from morning till night, I am weak, I am tired, I don't have much fight.
My muscles are sore, sometimes to the touch, Where has my health gone? I miss it so much. Everyone says that "You look so well." They don't understand that I'm living in hell.
My memory fails me, I'm tense and uptight, This disease rages on, my brain isn't right. My eyes often hurt me, they twitch and are red.I often forget what it was you just said.
There are days that I sit and stare into space,This cloud just comes on me, I have no sense of place.
I wish someone could tell me, "You'll soon be well," For the war I am fighting is living hell.
No one understands the pain that I feel, People don't understand my disease is real.
MY DISEASE IS...LYME. `

Hey there, Big Bird. I didn't realize it was back up and I went looking for it. Only AFTER I cruised through (and sung a few songs to myself) did I realize that it was back on the board. That was going to be my Christmas present to you. Someone beat me to it. Too bad. Guess I'll have to write a few songs later this week to make up for it. I know the board can't wait for that. HA!

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
"Knocking Around my Spirochetes"
Knocking around my spirochetes Watch them run, die and drop Herxing so bad I can barely see But I'm not about to stop.
Knocking around my spirochetes Pull out the wrestling ring Later I'll sizzle them in high high heat And not feed them anything.
I always get that estatic Feeling when Im near Any scorching heat to make my friends jolly I'm decking their halls with more than holly...
Knocking around my spirochetes And having a wonderful holiday My borrelia is barely hanging on And more ceftin's on its way!
Merry Xmas All

This is my first carol season, and these are all WONDERFUL!
It's been a very long day today -- working then seeing my godson as a lead in his school play -- but tomorrow I'll dust off my guitar and my creativity...
Great smiles and laughs, everyone!

Its very addicting! I made a new one for you all for the New year! 'Winter Wonderland' Walkin' in a Tick infested Land
Ticks Bite, are you itching, in the grass, they are crawling A frightening site, Got bitten tonight, walking in a tick infested land.
Gone away is the wolf here to stay are the deer We seek a doctor as we go along, walking in a tick infested land.
In the meadow we can see the deer graze Then pretend they are quacking ducks They'll say: There's no Lyme, Are you crazy? we'll say: No man, I need a LLMD, Cause you're a clown.
Later on, we'll perspire, as we herx like burning fire so sad & afraid, the keets have it made, walking in a tick infested land.
Phones ring, LLMD's are listening, in the office, I am smiling An optimistic plight, we're happy tonight, walking in a tick infested land.
Gone away is the pain, here to stay is the new life We take some Zithro, some Doxy, Mepron, walking in a tick infested land.
In the meadow we can see the ticks crawl, and we wish they were all dead We'll have lots of fun killing deer ticks, until the beasts are burnt dead.
When they're dead, ain't it thrilling, In your blood, keets are dying We'll frolic and play, the normal way, Walking in tick free land. Walking in a tick free land.

What a hoot!
We wish to be well for Christmas, We wish to be well for Christmas, We wish to be well for Christmas, (never noticed this irritating repetition before) and a healthy new yr.
We'd settled for fair, an'get out of this chair.
We wish to be well for Christmas, and a healthy new year.
Harsh warnings we bring, to you and your friends, harsh warnings of tickbites that could ruin your year.

Seems strange to me that this thread has "disappeared" not once, not twice, but at least THREE times in the past 3 days.
It wasn't on page 2, or 3, or 4, etc.
Do we have a GRINCH on the board??
This is a FIVE YEAR TRADITION!! I don't get it!??

I had no idea this thread existed -- these are really funny -- enjoyed going through them very much!!
So I located the song thread we all participated in last year and brought it up for those who never saw it. Stymie started it -- greatest CD hits of the Lymenuts. Lots of holiday song rewrites - pgs 6-12.

Cob, I like your disoriented kings! That's the problem with wandering these days...one, you could get bitten; two, you could get lost..
Next? Maybe a couple more rewrites about Dr Jones?

I posted this one on sci.med, many years ago when it used to be a fun group:
To the tune of Deck the Halls (duh)
Watch for ticks out in the holly Fa la la la la, la la la la If you get Lyme, it's not jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Spray permethrin on apparel, Fa la la la la la, la la la Before you sing that Christmas carol Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away your good health passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la. When you walk through longish grasses Fa la la la la, la la la la And a tick climbs up to bite you Fa la la la la, la la la la Lyme disease will shortly smite you Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Here's another item from the sci.med archives, from MisTick (Jeannine) and "Sue."
Merry Christmas and Holiday Greetings to all. I heard from "Sue" that NIH researchers and other gov't officials had rewritten the following Holiday Carols (j/k). This will put a smile on your face as you see if you can guess the original titles! A great group activity for holidays! (I particularly like #1 Part 2)
Name That Carol (tune)!
1. Have hitherward the entire assembly of those who are loyal in their belief. 2. Listen, the celestial messengers produce harmonious sounds. 3. Nocturnal timespan of unbroken quietness. 4. An emotion excited by the acquisition or expectation of good given to the terrestrial sphere. 5. Embellish heavenly beings to whom hearken. 6. Exalted heavenly beings to whom hearkened. 7. Twelve o'clock on a clement night witnessed its arrival. 8. The Christmas preceding all others. 9. Small municipality in Judas southeast of Jerusalem. 10. Diminutive, masculine master of skin-covered percussionistic cylinders. 11. Omnipotent supreme being who elicits respite to ecstatic distinguished males. 12. Tranquiltiy upon the terrestrial sphere. 13. Obese personification fabricated of compressed mounds of minute crystals. 14. Expectation of arrival to populated areas by mythical, masculine perennial gift-giver. 15. Natal celebration devoid of color, rather albino, as a hallucinatory phenomenon for me. 16. The first person nominative plural of far eastern heads of state. 17. Tintinnabulation of vacillating pendules in inverted, metallic resonant cups. 18. In distant location the existence of an improvised unit of newborn children's slumber furniture. 19. Proceed forth declaring upon a specific geological alpine formation. 20. Jovial yuletide desired for the second person singular or plural by us.
Part 2 1. The apartment of 2 psychiatrists. 2. The lad is a diminutive percussionist. 3. Decorate the entry-ways. 4. Sir Lancelot with laryngitis. 5. A B C D E F G H I J K M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z. 6. Present me naughty but dual incisors for this festive Yuletide. 7. The smog-less bewitching hour arrived. 8. Exuberation to this orb. 9. 288 Yuletide hours. 10. Do you perceive the same longitudinal pressure which stimulates my auditory sense organs. 11. The red-suited pa is due in this burg. 12. Stepping on the pad cover. 13. Uncouth dolt has his beezer in the booze and thinks he is a Dark Cloud's boyfriend. 14. Far back in a hay bin. 15. Leave and do an elevated broadcast. 16. That exiguous hamlet south of the holy city. 17. Behold! I envisioned a trio of nautical vessels. 18. Listen, the winged heavenly messengers are proclaiming tunefully. 19. A joyful song relative to hollow metallic vessels which vibrate and bring forth a ringing sound when struck. 20. As the guardians of little woolly animal's protected their charges in the shadows of the earth.
Here's the Answer List. (How many did you get?) "Christmas Carol Quiz Part 1"
1. Oh Come All Ye Faithful 2. Hark, the Herald Angels Sing 3. Silent Night 4. Joy To The World 5. Deck The Halls 6. Angels We Have Heard On High 7. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear 8. First Noel 9. Oh, Little Town Of Bethleham 10. Little Drummer Boy 11. Come Reat Ye Merry Gentlemen 12. Peace on Earth 13. Frosty the Snowman 14. Santa Claus is Coming to Town 15. I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas 16. We Three Kings 17. Jingle Bells 18. Away in a Manager 19. Go Tell It On The Mountain 20. We Wish You a Merry Christmas ~~~~~
"Christmas Carol Quiz, Part II" Here are the answers for Part 2 1. The Nutcracker Suite 2. Little Drummer boy 3. Deck the Halls 4. Silent Night 5. Noel (No L) 6.

Deck the Ducks so full of folly Fa la la la la, la la la la. Lyme disease is not so jolly Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Send them on a downward spiral Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the ancient Yale tide herald , Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Tick before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in IV measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. While I tell of long past pleasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away our good health passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Hail the truth, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Shout for treatment, all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE, IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE, AND TO SEE JUST WHO IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE, NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE, JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND, ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS, A SOBER THOUGHT CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND DREARY, I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING, SILENT, ALONE, CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE, THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER, NOT HOW I PICTURED A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ? CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT, OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD, THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY, AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS, LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER HOW MANY LAY ALONE, ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE, I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE, 'SANTA DON'T CRY, THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, I DON'T ASK FOR MORE, MY LIFE IS MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS.'
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP, I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS, SO SILENT AND STILL AND WE BOTH SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT, THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER, WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE, WHISPERED, 'CARRY ON SANTA, IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE.'
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH, AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT. 'MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,! AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.'
Old Aches gone and are forgot and never hurt again! Our Lyme is gone and we're alive and days of pain all gone! All the ticks are dead, they are extinct and all our aches are gone we'll have our cure and our life back for old aches are gone!
Old aches are gone our Lyme is cured and we'll never be sick again! No more doctors and medical bills now it's years of happiness And here's a hand, my trusty friend I thank you for your help We'll tak' a cup o' whiskey now And celebrate our cure For all our old aches are gone

To the tune of "Dashing Through the Snow"...
The guys at the IDSA are jerks, oh they are dumber than dirt! They think they know it all, but there brains are really small!
HEY!
You're goin' down, you're goin' down, you're goin all the way, hey! What fun it'll be, and in your pants you'll pee, you just wait and see, hey!
You're all really corrupt, and on top of that you suck! You're all so smug about a bug, but it won't take long, we'll prove that you're wrong, now let's all sing this song!
HEY!
You're goin' down, you're goin' down, you're goin' all the way! What fun it'll be and in your pants you'll pee, you just wait and see, hey!
That was fun!!

I'm still a newbie, but here is my best stab at this game, which I found surprisingly therapeutic!
To the tune of "The Little Drummer Boy."
"No," they told me, how DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB!! "You can't have Lyme" they said how DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB!! "You responded to Pred" how DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB!! "You have lesions in your head" How DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB!! DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB!! DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB!!
My share of supplements, I've some some some some. B12, D, fish old and more to come come come come. The Mino makes me feel sick and my brain still is numb, But I'll do it to kill the tick, try to overcome, and when I'm done, I'll tell everyone:
Doctors have this all wrong, how come come come come? Two weeks is not enough you'll be left with some some... ...spirochetes digging in your flesh not fun fun fun fun! Go watch "Under Our Skin" then tell a loved one, Lyme disease is not fun, the misinformation has done, harm to everyone!
Then, I'll take up deer hunting, wanna come come come come? Shootin' ticks on the run... Me and my gun.

This one I did earlier, I think in November, in response to Munch here who posted a very long vertical list of doctors they had seen prior to diagnosis and how many of each type.
**** ******* ******* ******* ******* ***
On the way to no Lyme diagnosis, I did see: an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to no co's diagnosis, I did see: two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to no clues, all these doctors I did see: three DOs, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to insanity, these doctors I did see: four pain docs, three DOs, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to the funny farm, these doctors I did see: five ENTs! Four pain docs, three DOs, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to the internet, these docs I first did see: six rheumatologists, five ENTs! Four pain docs, three DOS, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to self-diagnosis, all these I did see: seven in-ternists, six rheumatologists, five ENTs! Four pain docs, three DOs, two neurosurgeons, And an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to my own diagnosing, I did see: eight physical therapists, seven in-ternists, six rheumatologists, five ENTs!
Four pain docs, three DOs, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to my diagnosis, all these I did see: nine nurse practitioners, eight physical therapists, seven in-ternists, six rheumatologists, five ENTs!
Four pain docs, three DOs, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to my Lyme/co diagnosis, I did see: ten GI specialists, nine nurse practitioners, eight physical therapists, seven in-ternists, six rheumatologists, five ENTs!
Four pain docs, three DOs, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to our lymenet, these doctors I did see: eleven orthosurgeons, ten GI specialists, nine nurse practitioners, eight physical therapists, seven in-ternists, six rheumatologists, five ENTs!
Four pain docs, three DOs, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
On the way to this last verse, these specialists I did see: twelve ER doctors, eleven orthosurgeons, ten GI specialists, nine nurse practitioners, eight physical therapists, seven in-ternists, six rheumatologists, five ENTs!
Four pain docs, three DOs, two neurosurgeons, and an acupuncturist a-needlin' me.
