Coiling for Lyme

healing process

  • Baby love

    I spent this afternoon with my nephew. He’s wonderful. He looks at me with a big smile when he sees me. Even though he was tired and cranky (even babies have bad days sometimes), he was fun to be around.… Continue reading

  • Getting settled

    It’s so nice to be with my sister and my nephew. I love them both very much. I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten quieter over the years. I prefer to look and listen and learn before asking questions. My nephew is… Continue reading

  • On the road

    We drove all day. It took 9 hours (including 2 stops for meals and one 10 mile detour) to reach Williamsburg, VA. I did 2.5 hours of driving. It was plenty for me. My mother is an angel to do… Continue reading

  • Packing up

    I’m heading to visit my sister and her family in the morning. I’ll be gone for a few weeks, so I’m taking my coil machine and BioMat. I’ve spent the evening packing, deciding what to bring, cleaning out the fridge… Continue reading

  • Hot in the city

    In Queens, NYC, where I live, it was well above 90 deg F today. Tomorrow it’s supposed to hit 100. That’s hot. Summers are usually my best months. The infections start to let off on their major activity. I get… Continue reading

  • Waking up again

    There is a phenomenon that I’ve experienced over and over since I’ve been sick. I call it waking up, but it usually happens when I’m already literally awake. It goes like this: I have a number of consecutive days (somewhere… Continue reading

  • B-12

    When I got debilitated by Lyme disease and it’s co-infections in 2007, I was a vegetarian. The usual kind, I ate vegetables and grains, lots of tofu, cheese and eggs. I ate too many cookies and probably not enough protein.… Continue reading
