  • Coiling isn’t for everyone

    For most of the time I’ve been treating Lyme Disease and my other tick-borne infections, the main treatments were antibiotic pills and other supplements, rest and, when I was up to it, exercise. Things got better as I did more… Continue reading

  • Asking for Help

    I saw the cardiologist today. The short version is that I’m still coming off florinef. I have two doses left at half strength this week. Then I’m done. I go through withdrawal and see him again two weeks from now… Continue reading

  • New Lyme Coiling Plan

    I spoke to one of my fellow Lyme-combattant-coilers last week. She sent me a different coiling schedule than the one I was using. (I mentioned this the day I spoke to her.) It’s an interesting idea that I’ve been processing… Continue reading

  • Adrenals and kidneys

    As I work through day 3 of coming off florinef, I’ve been reading a little bit about adrenal glands and adrenal insufficiency/fatigue. There are contradicting statements out there about avoiding salt (because most people with adrenal insufficiency have high blood… Continue reading
