"Lyme is Hell" (To the tune of "Silver Bells"
Dizzy sidewalks Can't understand talks Been like this for awhile
In the stair, there's a feeling of vertigo.
Prescriptions amassing Pharmacists gasping At yet another refill, And on every Lyme forum you'll hear:
Lyme is Hell Lyme is Hell I look like I'm fine But I'm ailing
Try to act ok To get through the day But I'm always fighting to keep up!

Lymetoo - with our Lyme brains, we might forget we already wrote the lyrics!
Oy to the world, 'cause Lyme has come. Let all perceive its sting. Let every heart prepare against this doom And even as nature stings, And even as nature stings, And even as nature stings, of this we sing.

From the brain of a lymie. To the tune of "Here comes Santa Claus"
Here come lymies Here come lymies Right down lyme disease lane. Wormser and Steere and all the others are making stupid claims. We're all ill and they don't care, That seems stupid to me. So IDSA better change guidelines Cause Lymies are here to stay.

Wow, I was just going to start a thread like this! I guess all Lymies think a like, anyways:
A little Christmas song I just thought up. Inspired by Vince Vance & the Valiants's classic. Best sung with the the original. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1VkMBi9vvw
Take back the holly and mistletoe, Mepron blues on string. If I wrote a letter to my LymeMD, I would ask for just one thing. I don't need air hunger and anemia, Don't want a Christmas that's blue. Take back the Bartonela, Lyme, and Babesia, 'Cause all I want for Christmas is tests that are true.
I do need expensive treatments, Insurance coverage matters to me. All that I want, it can't be found, Underneath the Christmas tree.
My LymeMD is the angel atop my tree, Everyday he helps me get through. Santa can't bring me what I need, 'Cause all I want for Christmas is tests that are true.
I do need expensive treatments, Insurance coverage matters to me. All that I want, it can't be found, Underneath the Christmas tree.
My LymeMD is the angel atop my tree, He's such a dream come true. Santa can't bring me what I need, 'Cause all I want for Christmas is tests that are true. 'Cause all I want for Christmas is tests that are true. 'Cause all I want for Christmas is tests that are truuueeee.

PS... You HAVE to sing these to enjoy... no READING allowed!!

Oh, mixxter, one of my favorite Christmas songs!
Here's mine, "Carol of the Lymes"
Oh how those ticks, Tiny deer ticks, all seem to bite Me left and right
Leaving bulls eyes, On arms and thighs, Making me ill, Fever and chills,
Sore, aching knees, Many ER fees, And my ears ring, And my eyes sting
I seem to hear Words that are queer-- IDSA guidlines Saying I'm fine.
How my head pounds With every sound, And the room spins, When did this begin?
Doc says I'm crazy, Friends say I'm lazy, I can't have cheer, LD is here,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Tickmas, Merry, merry, merry, merry Tickmas, On on ticks send , on without end, their damn disease to west and east. Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong

Up on the housetop there's a tick, If it bites you, you'll get sick. Down with some symptoms, lots of oys,

Lymetoo, I think Starfall's song is Carol of the Bells - it goes fairly quickly -
And Mixxster has a link to All I Want For Xmas Is You
You and WC need to get your songs in...
or you can add a line to the group song -

"Chingety Ching!!!! It's Dominick the Donkey"
he haw he haw hee hawwwww
Chingety Ching....it's a tiny little deer tick....
la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da
Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) It's tiny little deer tick Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) The tiny little deer tick. (la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Santa's got a little friend, His name is tick. The meanest little tick, You never see him sick. When Santa drives his reindeer, With ticks he'll be. Because the ducks cannot, tell the truth so be.
Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) It's Dominic the donkey. Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) The creepy little deer tick. (la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
spirochetes all over him, And spittin in our blood. Hey! Look at the duck motel, gonna stay the nite in bed. Babesia for Gary , And a virus for Peter. The labels on the inside says, time to walk in our shoes.
Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) It's the creepy little deer tick. Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) It's the creepy little deer tick. (la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Lymies sing, and clap their hands, And the tick starts to die. They talk Italian to him, And he even understands.
Cumpare sing, Cumpare su, And dance 'sta tarantel. When sannanicola comes to town, And brings du ciuccianello.
Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) It's the creepy little deer tick. Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw) It's the creepy little deer tick. (la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through Lymenet All the lymies were wondering just what presents they'd get.
The stockings were hung by their computers with care In hopes that no deer ticks still lingered there.
The lymies were huddled way down deep in their beds, While visions of IDSA ducks danced in their heads.
And SilverWolf in her trailer, and TinCup with lymebrain Prepared for their Christmases, no wanting to complain.
When out on the 'net there arose such a clatter That I left my gift wrapping to see what was the matter.
Away to my computer I flew, you can bet, Brought up my browser and signed onto Lymenet.
The site seemed so silent, no one on here today-- Everyone must be busy, everyone is away.
When what to my lyme-blurry eyes should appear A mysterious message that just showed up here
From a jolly old poster--I know he's not sick-- I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More furious than herxing his speedy words came, And he greeted the lymies, and called some by name.
"Hi Hoosiers, KReynolds, kitkat, Randibear, WildCondor and Maddog, and everyone there.
From the mooon down to Texas, from PA across the sea-- Make sure no deer ticks hang on your Christmas tree!"
And then in a twinkling I saw on my printer The most wonderful thing I've seen there since last winter.
As I rose from my chair, pulled the paper right out, I saw a bright flash, then I turned with a shout.
For there in my room stood St. Nick, all in red, And I thought, "Is this real or all in my head?"
He wore tick repellent from his neck to his knee, And I thought, "Oh my, Santa looks like my LLMD!"
A big heavy bag he had flung o'er his back, Like an IgeneX lab-man opening up blood test packs.
His eyes, how they sparkled! His moustache, how funny! His cheeks were so chubby, his smile was so sunny!
His lips, like Rifampin, were red, don't you know, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe was clenched tight in his mouth-- Said the smoke kept at bay the deer ticks in the south.
He had a broad face and a round little gut That shook when he laughed like my big pre-Lyme butt.
On his arm was a bbullseye--why that jolly old elf Was also a lymie, just like myself!
He spoke not a word, but sat down in my chair, Typed a few hasty words that he wanted to share,
Then putting his finger right on his bullseye, Said he had coal for IDSA, so he had to fly.
Then he vanished as quick as the cash from my hands, Off to spread Christmas cheer to lymies in other lands.
But I heard him exclaim as he flew from my sight, "Merry Christmas to all, and NO MORE TICK BITES!!!"

Hee haw hee haw to you WC - you finally showed up with your promised song -
And Starfall, you certainly kicked into gear - Wonderful version of Twas the night!
Ok, to finish up this one -
Up on the housetop there's a tick. If it bites you, you'll get sick. Down with some symptoms, lots of oys, Lyme takes away all your Christmas joys.
Oh, oh, oh, to the LLMDs I go Oh, oh, oh, to the LLMDs I go Oh up on the housetop there's a tick, Don't let it bite you, don't get sick!

Okay, I know the time is past, but I had to add on here what I heard my 3 year old singing.
He heard the Dominick the Donkey song on the radio, but this is how he heard it:
"Hey chingity ching (hee haww hee haw) it's time to lick the donkey..."
I swear I will never hear that somg without that image in my head again.

Walking around the Christmas tree With a spray can full of DEET. Hoping to kill a thousand ticks And their freakin' spirochetes.
Walking around the Christmas tree Let the IDSA "doctors" hang. Later we'll use them as pinatas As we hit them with a BANG!
You will get a detrimental diagnosis from your duck THey'll just say it's in your head, So get a life, get out of bed.
Walking around the Christmas tree, We've got Lyme disease for sure. I know I'd give up the rest of my gifts If Santa'd bring me a cure!

or Gittin' Nuttin' as it really sounded!!
Great job, Starfall! I liked that one!

O come all ye Lymed ones, Dizzy and Bell's palsied, Come take ELISA tests that aren't worth a crap. Come hear the tirades Of the Trib and dorks like Steere. O come let them ignore us, O come let them ignore us, O come let them ignore us, Those IDSA ducks.
Take tons of Doxy. Take loads of Rifampin. Take Flagyl, Biaxin, and probiotics. Add in some herbals And a ton of supplements. O come let us get healthy, O come let us get healthy, O come let us get healthy In the new year.
