Coiling for Lyme

healing process

  • Virus Hunter

    I’ve learned a lot over the past two weeks. I started with the kind of despair that I often get with a Bartonella herx (though I didn’t realize what it was until it was over), which led me to reconsider… Continue reading

  • Immune Privileged

    I’ve had two weeks of lots to do and lots to think about. I went to the East Coast for a funeral and for my mother’s 80th birthday. The original plan was to visit my mother, but the trip started… Continue reading

  • Recharging an old battery

    I can’t figure out how to get my energy back. It’s been seven and a half weeks since I returned from Williamsburg and New York and helping my parents move. It has been a rough go. I’ve been trying desperately… Continue reading

  • Endurance

    This is the biggest month I’ve had in three years. Perspective. I totally overdid it and suffered the whole way when I got married, three years ago in August, but I enjoyed every moment of it because I was celebrating… Continue reading

  • Sugar Binge Aftermath

    I have to laugh at myself. I enjoyed the week of cake and sugar a little too much. The ten days since I started coiling again have been like going to the dentist as a ten-year-old and discovering a cavity.… Continue reading

  • Let Me Eat Cake

    At a recent Lyme Disease support group in my area, I learned about Galaxy Diagnostics. It is a company that has some kind of PCR amplification system specifically for testing blood for Bartonella, including all 17 strains that can infect… Continue reading

  • Scattered

    I’ve been having my ups and downs for the past few weeks. It’s only this past weekend that I’ve started to feel normal again, and yet today, I’ve been fighting brain fog. After a few hours on the couch doing… Continue reading
