Coiling for Lyme

lyme

  • Surrounded by friends

    I’m starting my post late tonight. I’m pretty tired and my body is a wreck. But that isn’t what the day has been about. All day, I’ve been noticing how much people care about me. It started with a phone… Continue reading

  • The Post-Punky World

    My apartment seems so empty. I keep expecting to see one of my cats out of the corner of my eye. I miss Punky a lot, and it feels like I lost PJ all over again. My cats pulled my… Continue reading

  • Grief

    Punky died today. It’s been an emotional week, knowing that he was near his last bit of life. Today I held him while he died. It was rough. It might have been more efficient to have him put to sleep,… Continue reading

  • Early to bed…

    One of the things I’ve been struggling with lately is fatigue. It’s killing me. The trick is to figure out what’s causing it, then see if I can manage it. Sometimes fatigue just has to be rested away. It got… Continue reading

    One of my least favorite aspects of Lyme disease and Herxing is light sensitivity. Usually my eyeballs hurt a little as the light sensitivity starts. Then I accidentally expose myself to too much light, and BAM! a headache. These headaches… Continue reading

    I had a lot of computer activity this evening. I wrote an extremely long email (or two) to some friends and now my hands are pretty much done until tomorrow. Coiling I’m coiling for Babesia every day now. Partly I… Continue reading
