Coiling for Lyme

iatrogenic complications

  • Saturday

    Today was a classic Saturday with a cold. I was miserable again. I started out worse off than yesterday. The head cold was worse. The chills and sweats were worse. My throat and sinuses burned. My ears hurt and popped.… Continue reading

  • Miserable

    Chronic pain for 5 years? No problem. I’m a trooper. I fear it before it arrives, especially if I know it’s coming. But once it arrives, I treat myself tenderly, like a wounded warrior, and do my best to heal… Continue reading
