Herx reactions

  • A good kind of tired

    I spent a lot of time with my nephew today. By the time dinner started, I was ready for bed. Alas, a coiling session and a blog later, I’ll be sleeping soundly. We went for two walks together this afternoon… Continue reading

  • Confusing Cycles

    I’ve spent time over the years trying to learn whatever the medical community seems to know about menstrual cycles and what happens when they aren’t regular. What I’ve heard over and over is that if a woman is going to… Continue reading
