Coiling for Lyme

using the coil machine

  • 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

  • Waiting for the storm

    My neighborhood is restless with anticipation. I went for a walk today. There were people doing last minute vegetable shopping (like me) in a small vegetable store which I have never seen so empty of produce. Mostly the customers were… Continue reading

  • The Pregnancy Question

    After spending time with my nephew, I’ve been mulling over the question of whether I will ever have my own children. At some moments, I desperately want to. At other moments, I think I’d be okay if I never raised… Continue reading
