Coiling for Lyme

Herx reactions

  • UTIs and other antibiotic complications

    I went to the urologist today. The good news is that I don’t have any more kidney stones (or at least nothing shows up on the sonogram and x-ray I had in August). The bad news is that I have… Continue reading

  • Getting Serious

    I don’t really want to do this. As my acupuncture headache turned into a Herx headache this afternoon, I realized that I just don’t want to do this. What is “this”? This is my stepped up coiling protocol. It is… Continue reading

  • Diatomaceous Earth

    Little by little, I’m getting my protocol for autumn in order. I can feel myself slowing down. My priorities are getting more focused on my body and on catching up with my backlog. Less social time, more time resting and… Continue reading

    (Thursday’s post) I spent the day out of focus. I was trying to pack for a trip to visit my friend John and his family in Columbus. Instead, I talked on the phone, made a trip to an ashram to… Continue reading

  • Menstrual Health

    For those of you who know me in real life (not just through my blog), you are aware that I’ll talk about anything. Anything at all. Just bring up what’s on your mind and I’m ready to discuss. And if… Continue reading

  • Lyme Season

    It’s been creeping up on me. It’s my first seasonal Lyme Disease flare since I stopped antibiotics. The Herxes are getting more intense, involving more bodily systems, and lasting longer. It’s a little scary. Over the past few days, I’ve… Continue reading

  • Little tremors

    My nervous system is starting to feel the stress. The Lyme Herx is catching up with me. It has me moving slowly with some stiffness part of the day. I’m continuing to tackle Babesia by coiling my shoulders, even if… Continue reading
