Coiling for Lyme

  • Double Herx

    The Lyme treatment yesterday has really knocked me out. Apparently I mis-timed it. I figured I had 2 or 3 days before I felt the effects, long enough to be through the Herx from increasing my coiling time on Bartonella.… Continue reading

  • Dreams and goals

    It’s been over 4 years since I had to stop working because of Lyme disease et alia. I spend a lot of time at home, a lot of time resting, a lot of time unable to do things I’d like… Continue reading

  • Rearranging my schedule

    As I increase the amount of time I coil, I need to do it in several sessions over the course of the day. This should be pretty simple, as I have a lot of unscheduled time. Of course the reason… Continue reading

  • Early to bed…

    One of the things I’ve been struggling with lately is fatigue. It’s killing me. The trick is to figure out what’s causing it, then see if I can manage it. Sometimes fatigue just has to be rested away. It got… Continue reading

  • Light Sensitivity

    One of my least favorite aspects of Lyme disease and Herxing is light sensitivity. Usually my eyeballs hurt a little as the light sensitivity starts. Then I accidentally expose myself to too much light, and BAM! a headache. These headaches… Continue reading
