  • The Collapsing Health Care System

    Today, I had to advocate on behalf of a family member to get appropriate services for his health care needs. In the process, I gave the institution feedback about the way they run the patient and family meetings. They told… Continue reading

  • The World of Hormones

    This post is about menstruation. I have two things colliding. First, I’m healing from Lyme, etc. which really screwed up my menstrual cycle for a long time…for at least 10 years. It was forever coming late, as in more than… 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

  • Psyllium husks

    I was reading up on psyllium husks yesterday. I’ve used them for intense Herxes associated with antibiotics when the Herxes gave me diarrhea. I would take it at night. The next day, it would be better in the morning. Then… Continue reading

  • When it rains, it snows

    I haven’t driven in 4 years, starting when I suddenly lost control of my legs and could no longer walk. It’s only over the past few months that I have been close to well enough to drive on my good… Continue reading
