A family member shared with me that she was prescribed a product called alpha-stim to help her sleep. My daughter and I both have sleep issues so I looked into it and learned that it does so much more. There are 2 versions: AID - for anxiety, depression & sleep. AID uses Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation…
I started the pre-Lymestop protocol last week and the detox portion is already taking a toll. That’s not a bad thing! It means it’s working. But it isn’t a whole lot of fun either. The lemonade days were ok-ish. My body isn’t used to that much sugar and it sent my digestive system backwards a…
In preparation for my visit to Lyme Stop in Idaho (July 29-30), my doc has me starting the protocol below. I CAN DO THIS! Or as the little engine that could said: I think I can, I think I can. I can guarantee that all of this, and the Lymestop therapy, is gonna crash me.…
For the last 2 years, I’ve been somewhat stable. My symptoms are much reduced in both number and severity, but I’m not well - not by a long shot. I have a ton of therapies and remedies I do - some every day, some just from time to time as needed. But it’s a lot…
I’ve been thinking about the many, many, many doctors I’ve seen and the numerous treatments and therapies I’ve done. I wanted to start documenting both of these - what better place to do that than right here? * means I continue to see this practitioner or still doing this therapy Doctors & Practitioners At least…
Girl Talk!
We never talk about the one thing we girls need to be talking about - vaginal health. It’s uncomfortable. It’s private. It’s personal. And it’s important. I’ve been lucky enough to have not been burdened with many problems I’ve the years. Periods were pretty normal until after my 2nd baby was born. After that, they…
In 2022, I went to Florida for prolotherapy injections in my neck. The damage to my neck is significant. I have cervical instability, which means the ligaments in my neck are loose (they should be tight like coiled bed springs). You can learn more here: Hauser Neck Center visit. That has helped tremendously but more…
I’ve been interested in grounding (or earthing as some call it) for several years but really hadn’t looked into it until recently. Several years ago, I told one of my doctors that I feel like my feet are claustrophobic - I hate wearing shoes. He took one of his shoes off and showed me his…
Reducing Sound Levels
One of the challenges with Lyme+ and HSP (Highly Sensitive People) can be sensitivity to light, sound, touch, & smell. Touch and smell I can usually avoid (especially at home), but light and sound is more difficult. My daughter is extreme HSP and often has to recluse to her room because the world is just…
Procaine Injections
Cervical Instability is when the ligaments in the neck are too loose. It literally feels like my neck isn’t strong enough to hold up my head. I went to Florida last summer to get prolotherapy - which is essentially injecting sugar water to force the body to flood the neck with healing cells, helping to…
