You Might Have Lyme Disease If:

I found a great humourous article on http://infectiousoptimism.blogspot.com/p/chronic-badass-article.html
About how to be a lyme badass.

Here are a few more of my own.

You might have Lyme Disease if:

1. You have been to at least 10 different doctors, have received at least 10 different diagnosis and have been given at least 10 different medications to try at each appointment.
2. When somesome says, "Do you have anything for a headache?" and you produce 50 pill bottles of various items.
3. You spend more on prescriptions than you do on your food bill.
4. You accidentally cut your PICC line in half while cuttting off the saran wrap used to cover the PICC line so you could shower and feel human.
5. You single handedly fix the PICC line, reconnect, change the caps and successfully flush the line and get it working all before your nurse shows up for the day.
6. You have ever had your children decorate your IV pole for Christmas.
7. Your family and friends have renamed you Jekyl and Hyde because your emotions are so labile they never know who they are dealing with.
8. You have researched so much about Lyme disease and co-infections that you have to verse your Primary Medical doctor on the current testing methods and how to read a Western Blot test.

15. When people say "you look great" you want to secretely bash them.
16. Your children can recite your medication regime in it's entirety.
