The Herxheimer Reaction (known to the in-fected crowd as a herx) knocked me back to the couch. Who knew that gravity could be painful, oppressive and immobilizing? That's just weird.
After 3 days of herxing and frustrating mobility issues (like not being able to walk long enough to grocery shop) I caved in and ordered a cane with a folding seat. It's made of birchwood and looks well made. Check it out!
Living with Lyme Disease ~ An Initiation by Nature ~ My life with Lyme Disease has been an amazing, rewarding, heartbreaking, frustrating, funny, and wildly weird experience. I share my stories, struggles and triumphs; to exchange hope, insight, information, and wisdom; to open to and receive relentless support; to be a voice for change in the health care system; to process my own stuff; to network; to help find a cure; to laugh, inspire and be inspired! Welcome to my blog!

I have one of these cane-chair combinations. Be careful, Willow.... it can take away the ability to go to the head of any line! (You can no longer claim "ADA Privilege" and walk by a whole line of people) Seriously, I keep mine in the trunk of my car and pull it out whenever I find myself in that standing-in-line situation.
