In 2005, while hiking on the Appalachian Trail, I contracted Lyme's Disease, Giardia, and an unknown third ailment – the beginning of a long battle with ill-health. After five years of exhausting the resources available through western medicine, I began exploring the world of alternative medicine from the viewpoint of an engineer. I have been through the fire and emerged unscathed. For my fellow chronic sufferers, this blog is for you. May hope sustain you and relief find you quickly...

Tailbone Pain - In Real Time
I have had on and off tailbone pain for about 9 months (despite rounds of professionally monitored physical therapy and osteopathic manipulations and individually monitored stretching and strengthening). This week, the pain was unbearable. It felt (and feels) like a vice is slowly crushing my tailbone (vertically). And almost nothing I do helps. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't sit comfortably, I couldn't focus at work. I am beginning to wonder if my tailbone isn't broken.
