Kanonroliga borrelia-skämt (jag skrattar så jag gråter varenda gång jag läser dem, trots att jag läst samma flera gånger. En av de få fördelarna med att ha lika långt minne som en 100-årig demenspatient:D)

SYMPTOMS CHECKLIST FOR NEUROLOGICAL LYME

5. A sleeping pattern resembling the long rest of hibernating bears or the worse
condition of inability to sleep even upon administration of meds to kill a pair of rhinos.
9. An ability to lose approximately 100 things a day, followed by an inability to find them,
although 80% of them are exactly where they're supposed to be.
10. Verbal dyslexia, i.e. saying the word "cow" when the word called for was "pencil"
(not a close match).
19. Inability to spell "the" - it just doesn't look right.

LYMIE OATH:
~~I'm very good at opening childproof caps with a hammer.
~~I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I'm going.
~~I'm smiling all the time because I can't comprehend a word you're saying
~~I'm sure everything I can't find is in a secure place
~~I'm having trouble remembering simple words like....uh....
~~I'm wondering if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 210?
~~Do I have brain fog? I don't remember. But, I'm happy, I think.

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE LYME WHEN:

• You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
• You put the margarine in the cupboard, the knife in the refrigerator, and
  the toast in the sink. Then you walk around in circles trying to find the
  toast.
• The best part of your day is over when your alarm clock goes off.
•  You know you have Lyme when you stop to think and forget to start again
