Coiling for Lyme

Herx reactions

  • Lying down on the phone

    I had a “busy” day with several long phone calls, a movie, and dinner at my parents’ house. For all the time, except walking to my parents house and eating (and writing up this blog), I was lying down. My… Continue reading

  • Always go back to Babesia

    Well, the increased Babesia coiling yesterday worked. I’m not nearly as tired today, at least I’m not in bed all day. I think that once I can do my whole body, I’ll have to start doing it twice a day.… Continue reading

  • The tired problem

    I’m so tired. Again it seems like a day passed without being able to do nearly as much as I’d like. I mean, I didn’t even manage to watch a movie. I could be at the part of the Lyme… Continue reading

  • Two ice cream day

  • Presence of mind

    The concert last night was incredible. U2 has enough stage presence to fill a football stadium with 82,000 seats. I came away feeling like a new person. Unfortunately, the concert took a huge toll on my body. I’ve spent today… Continue reading

  • Concert Night

    I’m going to the U2 concert tonight. I went to one in September 2009. It was amazing. The music was incredible. U2 is meant to be a live performance band. It was important to me for other reasons. I was… Continue reading

  • The Day After

    The day after a crappy day like yesterday, one where I’m stuck in bed with heart troubles, the day after that, I feel lighter. My heart is still bothering me. I was lying around in bed until after 2pm, but… Continue reading
