Symptoms that occur during the coiling process.

  • Log Jam

    It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to record what’s going on, two weeks already. I’ve had a lot on my mind. The good stuff has included some celebrating of my husband’s birthday, which was a great excuse… Continue reading

  • Bartonella Flares and Herxes

    As I’ve been coiling for Bartonella over the past few weeks, I can’t stop thinking about the earlier bouts of Bartonella in my life, the ones that predate contracting Lyme Disease. Partly, I think about those earlier Bartonella flares because… Continue reading
