Lyme Takes Time

Those symptoms are the Lyme disease reacting to the antibiotics, the disease fighting back against … Continue reading Herxing — Another Weird Part of Lyme

He explained how I had some structural problems in my nose that are probably the cause of some severe sinus pain I've been experiencing for the past 6 months.

I couldn't resist using a song from the 60's as the title for this post. It's been quite awhile since I've posted here, and I hope to change that going forward. Yet, some of that is out of my control. I last posted in December 2012. I had robotic-assisted surgery for a hysterectomy, and my … Continue reading I’m Working My Way Back to You, Babe…
