  • Missing Data

    It’s been more than 2 weeks since I last recorded notes on this experiment to cure myself of tick-borne illnesses. The hiatus started simply enough: my hands were really screwed up by the Bartonella treatment. Then my menstrual cycle started… Continue reading

  • Hands

    I’m in pain. My hands hurt. They really hurt. My arms and shoulders and neck really hurt. The level goes from extreme to excruciating. So this post will be short. I added 1 minute of coiling for Bartonella to each… Continue reading

  • Even the bad days aren’t as bad

    Yesterday was a wash. Between yoga and coiling the top half of my body for Lyme, I was knocked out. Every time I sat up or stood up, all I wanted to do was lie down. And when I was… Continue reading
