  • Bone Density Rx

    I went to see a rheumatologist this afternoon about my recent diagnosis of osteoporosis. I was pretty nervous, ready to do battle about whether I have Lyme Disease, given my previous experiences with rheumatologists. I looked up lots of information… Continue reading

  • Subways

    Now that I’m more mobile, as in I can walk a reasonable distance and still participate in the activity at the other end, I’m thinking about public transportation. Mostly, if I couldn’t walk somewhere during the past almost 5 years,… Continue reading

  • Compassion

    On Monday I had my first Reiki session. I’ve been thinking about it for quite a while, ever since I met up with my former roommate from graduate school a few years ago. She thought it would be a good… Continue reading

  • The joys of herxing

    I’ve now coiled for Lyme three times since August 13, or about 2 weeks. My plan heading into fall is to coil every week. It’s already getting scary. I don’t know how to make sure I’m detoxing fast enough. I’m… Continue reading

  • Having a life

    For a few days in a row, I’ve pretended to be something other than disabled by Lyme disease. In a certain way, this is exactly what I was hoping to do with my summer. I was with people. Saturday, I… Continue reading
