A few weeks ago, I was at the opticians for an eye exam and I was asked about my health history. I always find this a little challenging as I don’t like talking about my Lyme Disease diagnosis. Mostly because I still find it upsetting to think about (given that I became so sick).
Today, I want to chat about supplements for gut health. More, specifically the Vital Plan Gut Revival Kit*: a gut health protocol that I recently started. The Vital Plan Gut Revival kit is a holistic protocol for healthy digestion, detoxification and microbiome balance. If you have followed my blog for a few years, you will be […]
If you are new to my blog, my name is Donna and I have lived with Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia and CFS for a number of years. I had stem cells for Lyme Disease at Infusio, Frankfurt in 2017 and have been documenting my progress on this blog. Find all of my posts about Infusio here. […]
Can you believe that it has been six months since I received my stem cells at Infusio? I thought now would be a good time to write an update on how I am doing. My last update was a few weeks after my ACT treatment that I had back in February.
Read all of my Infusio posts here. Prior to heading back to Germany for my follow-up at Infusio last month, I spent a bit of time going through my journal and jotting down how my symptoms have changed since receiving stem cells. I appreciate that those who are looking into stem cell therapy at Infusio like […]
I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to write an Oska Pulse review. I have been intrigued by the device ever since I first heard about it last year. It sounded too good to be true and I was curious to know if the Oska Pulse truly worked for Fibromyalgia pain.
Hands up if you have Fibromyalgia and have been told to supplement with magnesium? Yep, me too. I’ve been taking magnesium supplements for a few years now and, I’m not alone; many people take magnesium for Fibromyalgia and have reported benefits from doing so. But, have you ever wondered why magnesium is so important?
Back in March, I took a trip down to Breakspear Medical to see my Lyme doctor. The reason was to speak with him about a change of plan (since I was having a difficult time with antibiotics) and to do some further testing that he felt would be beneficial. The appointment went well and it […]
A few weeks ago, an email popped into my inbox that had me intrigued. I was asked if I would like to review a device called the Body Clock iTENS. The Body Clock iTENS is a portable TENS machine that offers drug-free pain relief and works with Bluetooth technology. The bit that really caught my eye […]
Pain is a hallmark feature of Fibromyalgia and is also a symptom of many other chronic illnesses. I have personally lived with chronic pain for a number of years now. Admittedly, it is one of the symptoms that I have found the most challenging to manage. This is because pain is very variable. It […]
Does the Quell work for Fibromyalgia pain? Ever since I first heard of the Quell Pain Relief device, I was curious to find out. Thankfully, I was given the opportunity to write a Quell review for Fibromyalgia through the Chronic Illness Bloggers network. Having lived with Fibromyalgia for a number of years, I was hopeful […]
For years I have been convinced that I’ve had thyroid problems. In fact, before I got my Lyme disease diagnosis and I only knew I had Fibromyalgia, I was convinced that I had Hashimoto’s disease.
Taking antibiotics for acute Lyme disease (early infection) is a given. But, the water becomes more muddied when it comes to taking antibiotics for late stage Lyme disease, otherwise known as chronic Lyme disease. Some suggest antibiotics are required in combination and need to be pulsed for long periods of time. Others say there is no […]

The book covers what Lyme disease is, why people get sick, the process of diagnosis, plus information on essential support and therapies for getting well. In […]
