  • Musings on Bartonella

    With Bartonella, there’s what I know as as Lyme patient and what I read on the internet. Tonight I read a little bit about Bartonella. It turns out that in other settings besides the ones where people with tick-borne illnesses… 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

  • Riding it out

    I’m past the hump on the Lyme Herx. I still have aches and pains, particularly in my arms. I had more energy today, enough to go for a walk and to do some things around the house. I researched Babesia… 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

  • Deep Breath

    I went to see my LLMD* today. He is very willing to support me in my choice to use a coil machine as the primary way I’m tackling the Lyme disease infection. He’s also very smart about detoxification. Dr. Morrison… Continue reading
