  • Somethings old, somethings new

    I went on a trip at the beginning of March to the deserts of southern California with my husband. I took about 8 days off from coiling to go on the trip. It gave me time to think about lots… Continue reading

  • Dry Sauna

    I’ve been heading to the sauna for about two weeks now, averaging 4 trips per week. This seems like enough to keep my kidneys happy while I do a moderate amount of Bartonella coiling. While I was in the sauna… Continue reading

  • Babesia relapse test

    I stopped coiling for Babesia in mid-January. I heard and read that I should expect a relapse in 3-4 months, but if I’m lucky the relapse might not happen for even longer. The idea is that Babesia has it’s own… Continue reading

    I have a really bad headache tonight. I can’t tell if I’m herxing from my double coiling session on Monday or if this is part of the menstrual drama. So tonight is just an entry into the lab notebook portion… Continue reading

  • PMS and Bartonella

    One of my personal theories after I started learning about Lyme co-infections was that Bartonella was the culprit behind my reproductive hormone swings. I’ve read that Lyme can cause “unexplained menstrual irregularities.” Most of the antibiotics for Lyme didn’t do… Continue reading

  • One Year of Coiling for Lyme

    Today makes exactly one year that I started coiling for Lyme Disease. When I first got the coil machine, I was dealing with a kidney stone. So after one trial of 15 seconds, I had to give up for a… Continue reading
