Coiling for Lyme

Herx reactions

  • Dis-joint-ed

    The last few days have been quite something. I had two fun adventures on Friday and Saturday, with excellent culinary components. I’ve been experimenting to figure out if Babesia is behind my relapsing fatigue. And I’ve been trying to handle… Continue reading

  • Perceived Wellness

    I’ve had a rough couple of days. As I was typing my previous post, I was falling asleep at the keyboard. Some days, I feel like I am getting better, so much better in fact, that I imagine I’m over… Continue reading

  • Close Attention

    One of the questions I repeatedly face is: when do I need to coil for Lyme? It turns out not to be a trivial question, as important as figuring out how often to coil and how much to coil each… Continue reading

    It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to record what’s going on, two weeks already. I’ve had a lot on my mind. The good stuff has included some celebrating of my husband’s birthday, which was a great excuse… Continue reading

  • Bartonella Flares and Herxes

    As I’ve been coiling for Bartonella over the past few weeks, I can’t stop thinking about the earlier bouts of Bartonella in my life, the ones that predate contracting Lyme Disease. Partly, I think about those earlier Bartonella flares because… Continue reading

  • Quorum Sensing

    It’s been a rough couple of weeks. I’m coiling for Bartonella a lot now: minimum twice a day on my head, spine and torso, and most days, once on the rest of my body. I’m way more disabled than I… Continue reading
