Coiling for Lyme

  • Life Happens

    Life happens…and I’m so glad it does! It’s been quite a while since I’ve simultaneously had the time and the energy to sit down and write. When last I wrote, it was the day before I set up my dad’s… Continue reading

  • Why would you write about that?

    I love when people send me candid reactions to my blog. One of my friends read a post about the horrendous gas that VSL#3 causes and couldn’t believe that I would broadcast this information on the internet, in a place… 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

  • Spitting out Mercury

    Over the past five years, I’ve read lots about mercury toxicity and dental amalgams. A few years ago, I got tested for heavy metals. I had a not-alarmingly-high amount of mercury in my urine, but enough that I could see… Continue reading

  • Spring Coiling Plan

    Over the past few days, I’ve had lots of social time: with my boyfriend, with my friends and with my parents. In the background, I was doing the necessary coiling and some thinking about what I need to do next.… Continue reading

  • PMS and Bartonella

    One of my personal theories after I started learning about Lyme co-infections was that Bartonella was the culprit behind my reproductive hormone swings. I’ve read that Lyme can cause “unexplained menstrual irregularities.” Most of the antibiotics for Lyme didn’t do… Continue reading
