SONGS WITH A TWIST OF LYME

Picture
Those living with Lyme (and other chronic  illness') are known to employ many various antics to raise awareness, express  their frustrations, and keep the humour in their life.  

"Songs with a Twist of Lyme" is a collection of songs written by some of our talented Lymies in late 2012... They are based on popular tunes/ songs  and have been re-written with humour to reflect the pain and frustrations  associated to living with Lyme disease.

If you ever decide to give a song a twist, please let us know so it can be added to this section.
