Coiling for Lyme

  • First things Herx

    I like to say, “First things first. Everything else in no particular order.” I haven’t really caught up with my life yet. I thought I would make more progress on my kitchen, my paperwork and my correspondance today. Instead, I… Continue reading

  • A Body at Rest

    I spent today recuperating. Besides the trip to see my sister and her family, I had a few weeks straight of high stress at home. Things are now essentially resolved. Today was the day to decompress and hang out with… Continue reading

  • Parsing symptoms

    I think the Herx from Lyme coiling on Saturday night went into full blast while I was sleeping. Yesterday I was convinced I had gotten away with something. No luck. When I first started coiling, an experienced coiler told me… Continue reading

  • Don’t feed the beasts

    If you’ve been following along for a few days, you’ll know that I have a pretty extensive list of foods I don’t eat, and won’t until I’m infection free. Prior to the Lyme saga, I was a vegetarian and had… Continue reading

  • Thoughts on Homeopathy

    Right about the time I got diagnosed with Lyme disease (and the rest of the trio), my doctor sent me to a naturopath in Connecticut to get tested for pesticide exposure. I was definitely exposed to a lot of pesticides… Continue reading

  • Seeing through the third eye

    My current favorite yoga instructor has a problem with his left eye. It’s visible to people who see him that there’s a problem. The first time I met him, he asked if there was anything he needed to know about… Continue reading

  • Juggling

    So far, the thing I like best about the coil is that I’m getting my body back. I walk better. I have more stamina. I can focus more often. These things are a big deal after what I’ve been going… Continue reading
