  • Out of the Fog

    For the past two weeks, I’ve been playing a learn-to-speak-Spanish cd in the car when I drive. With each full repetition of the cd, I can hear and understand additional phrases. They didn’t help when my friends mother came to… Continue reading

  • Back to Basics

    In my last blog, I talked about viruses. It was part of a side trip I took on my journey towards wellness. Although I sometimes think I have another infection, or several, that contributes to my symptoms, I learned once… Continue reading

  • Virus Hunter

    I’ve learned a lot over the past two weeks. I started with the kind of despair that I often get with a Bartonella herx (though I didn’t realize what it was until it was over), which led me to reconsider… Continue reading

  • Immune Privileged

    I’ve had two weeks of lots to do and lots to think about. I went to the East Coast for a funeral and for my mother’s 80th birthday. The original plan was to visit my mother, but the trip started… Continue reading

  • Vacation Notes

    Over the last two weeks, I’ve gone camping in Yosemite and had a friend visiting my home. It’s been busy, busy, busy. Later this week, I head to NYC then onto Virginia, rounding out a month of activity. I’m mostly… Continue reading

  • Stealth Symptoms

    As soon as I finished writing last week’s blog post, I knew I had to coil for Babesia. It’s funny how writing about my experience, as this blog is literally my journal of coiling, clarifies my thinking about what to… Continue reading

  • Healing the Intestines

    Ever since I had a consultation with a person who specializes in essential oils, I’ve been thinking about my intestines. Of course, it came right after a colonoscopy…which forced me to think about my intestines as I watched them on… Continue reading

  • Sugar Binge Aftermath

    I have to laugh at myself. I enjoyed the week of cake and sugar a little too much. The ten days since I started coiling again have been like going to the dentist as a ten-year-old and discovering a cavity.… Continue reading
