  • Sweating it out

    Ah the joys of summer. Warm nights. Humidity. Swimming laps in an olympic pool during my dreams. My body often feels better in the summer. So far, it’s been hit and miss, but we’ve only had a few days of… Continue reading

  • Shifting Gears

    For the past 6 weeks, I’ve been pushing my limits on increasing the coiling sessions. I had some time once my dad was feeling better to ramp up my treatment. I didn’t go wild, mind you. I’ve been increasing the… Continue reading

  • Smoking out Babesia

    When I was doing research for Babesia Basics, I read a bunch of articles and websites, not all of which I cited. A piece of information from one article stuck with me, and I saw it repeated though I can… Continue reading

  • Finding the Edge

    After yoga class today, I had lunch with my teacher. I’d been wanting to meet him for a while and finally got the courage up last week. Sometimes I still feel hesitant and shy around people who I learn from… Continue reading

  • What’s a coil machine?

    A few people have asked me what my coil machine is, what it looks like and how it works. The coil machine I have is known as a Doug Coil Machine named after the employer of the original designer. It… Continue reading

  • Different kinds of tired

    I spent another day in bed. I tried to get up for yoga. I even showered, but I was too tired and achy to walk there (nevermind the class itself). There is a special thing that happens to people with… Continue reading
