Coiling for Lyme

symptoms

Symptoms that occur during the coiling process.

  • Bartonella brain-dump

    I’ve been treating Bartonella without blogging. In theory this should be no problem, but it turns out that to think things through, I need to write them down. First the history: I was fairly successful with Babesia. Someone gave me… Continue reading

  • Leaving New York

    It’s been over a month since I’ve had the time and energy to write about coiling for lyme. It’s been a pretty busy period of my life. Despite my absence from recording my symptoms and experiments, I’ve continued to coil… 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

  • Missing Data

    It’s been more than 2 weeks since I last recorded notes on this experiment to cure myself of tick-borne illnesses. The hiatus started simply enough: my hands were really screwed up by the Bartonella treatment. Then my menstrual cycle started… Continue reading

  • Lyme Disease and Sex

    Not Feeling So Sexy When I first got really sick from Lyme Disease, sex was the farthest thing from my mind. The first year, when I was semi-paralyzed, lying on my bed, wondering what was wrong with me, I thought… Continue reading

  • Loosening up and making mistakes

    I miss eating. I love eating. Before I got sick, I was a vegetarian. I ate at the local Indian restaurants a few times a week. I ate tasty salads with tons of ingredients, including hard boiled eggs. I cooked… Continue reading

  • Starting Bart

    I’ve been flirting with really tackling my Bartonella infection. I don’t like to do it because the place that seems most affected by the coiling treatments are my upper back/neck/head. The main reaction to the treatments are pain & numbness… Continue reading
