It’s Spring. I missed the mark. And there is still light.

So, I’m back online. But I’m trying to moderate myself. It’s hard not to have a computer/internet addiction when you don’t do much in the outside world. I haven’t been blogging anywhere, really. Yet, there are people who are very … Continue reading →

The search for PANDAS information is harder than the search for Congenital Lyme data. It isn’t a cute little bear, I can tell you that. It’s more than that. The folks at my local university medical hospital work to discredit … Continue reading →

FEVER. BITCH. SHAKE. CRY. FEVER. PAIN. REPEAT.

In three years of treating my multiple infectious diseases, I haven’t spend much time with treatments to target babesiosis. Maybe because it’s an elusive illness — one that most doctors say, “You don’t say. . .” when I tell them … Continue reading →

Persistent vs. Chronic

I don’t like the word, “chronic” applied to my daily struggle. It sucks the hope right out of me. I don’t want to be chronically ill. Years ago, when I was around a whole lot of people doing spiritual work, … Continue reading →

Everything is Coming to a Grinding Halt
