Coiling for Lyme

  • Fun and laughter

    I am one of the minions that trekked out to see Harry Potter on the opening day. It is a ritual I enjoy with my parents as each new movie has come out since 2008. We go to a matinee… Continue reading

  • Learning to be in charge

    One of the key things that I like about the coil machine is that it has forced me to take myself seriously as the person in charge of my healing program. No doctor can advise a person on how to… Continue reading

  • Cat Therapy

    I have a friend (who is actually more like a sister) staying with me for a few weeks. I’m very much enjoying sharing my apartment with another person, especially someone I like so much. In part, it breaks the isolation… Continue reading

  • Watermelon

    It’s summertime. Watermelon is in season. It’s juicy and delicious, especially when it’s just out of the refrigerator. So I cheated last night. Once I had the first piece, I figured I would have an allergic reaction later, so I… Continue reading

  • Kidney Conundrum

    When I first got the coil machine, it was in the midst of a struggle with kidney stones. Everyone knows they hurt. Seriously, it’s true. At the time, I wasn’t sure if it had passed or was still stuck somewhere… Continue reading

  • A day of rest…sort of

    My goal today was to rest. It came after a week of childcare for an infant (completely wonderful and fulfilling and tiring and only for a few hours a day, no less). It came after a Lyme disease coiling session.… Continue reading

  • Doped up on Dopamine

    Last night I slept like a baby. Or actually, I’ve learned that babies wake up a lot during the night. So actually, I slept better than a baby. I slept like I was drugged. I slept deeply through the night.… Continue reading
