Perturbation theory is a phrase that was kicking around in my mind after I wrote the last post about my evolving views of exercise and how it fits into a full recovery. I looked it up and realized that it was not quite what I thought, but that its actual meaning is as interesting as what I wanted it to mean. Below, you’ll find my analysis of what happens when […]
It’s been a whole month since I’ve been at the computer and able to write. Sometimes I wonder how I blogged the first year that I was coiling. I was definitely as tired as I have been this month. I was certainly sicker. I was also alone way more of the time. My only responsibilities were to take care of my cats. Back then I ordered out food or my […]
Every now and then, I look at what I’m doing and I ask if I’m really getting better. This spring has been so hard that I often wonder if I’ve cursed myself by taking vaccines or even going at the Lyme infection by triggering it. I guess the only way to find out if the coil machine works is to keep using it and getting it right some of the […]
The past week or so, I’ve been feeling lethargic and unmotivated. I feel like I’ve stepped into a zone where I need to try something new in order to make progress in healing. On the agenda was triggering Lyme with a vaccine that I need to get anyway. When that didn’t work, I decided it was time to test out a new frequency. But first, a little fun news. My […]
With each infection I confront, I make a leap at some point, from treating it a little, whittling down the infection, to slamming it. Today is the day for Bartonella. I decided it is time. Over the past few days, I started adding in other sessions to clean my blood stream of active Bartonella. Rather than making the herxes more intense, it has actually reduced them. This is a relief. […]
Ever since my heart started acting up last week, I’ve been extremely tired. Fatigue isn’t all I’m dealing with, but it adds to the sense of doom that comes with pain and other physical discomfort. But there is fatigue, which means that I’m too tired to do much, that I rest or sit or lie down doing quiet activities like reading. Then there is the exhaustion, accompanied by chest constriction […]
Holy cow! I’m on my honeymoon. Back up. Holy cow! I got married. Anyone who has had chronic Lyme Disease understands that these two things seem out of reach after the days and months and years of being bed-ridden, anxious, depressed, severely ill, in extreme pain, constantly canceling plans, reluctant to make commitments because the body is forever failing. I can’t credit the coil machine for giving me a wonderful […]
Over the past few days, I’ve had lots of social time: with my boyfriend, with my friends and with my parents. In the background, I was doing the necessary coiling and some thinking about what I need to do next. Each time I’m about to start a new protocol, I hesitate. I write about it. Think about it. Rethink it. Postpone it. Then when the plan gets clear in my […]
Several people have asked me about the seasonal nature of Lyme Disease. Mostly, I read about it in various books before I finally experienced it in 2011. From the perspective of a person with Lyme Disease, the symptoms tend to get worse in February, and stay worse until sometime in the beginning of the summer (say late June or sometime in July). Then the symptoms get less intense for a […]
As the aches in my joints started increasing today, I knew it was time to start coiling for Lyme again. The plan is the same as I did for my first Lyme coiling season this fall: 5 days a week, weekends off, full-body head-to-toe, 3 minutes in each location. (Here is the full protocol.) Babesia, dormant? Last Lyme season, I was simultaneously working on Babesia, since it had the most […]
