I read in Dr. C's handouts that taking alergy medications like claritin is a good thing to do while being treated for Lyme. I no longer have that handout but I think it had something to do with the fact that if your body isn't fighting an alergy then it has more strength to fight lyme..
Now I read a post where someone says that Antihistimines surpress the immune system and makes lyme treatment less effective.
So what's the deal? Claritin really makes me feel better this time of year..

I think the concern would be if the antihistimine has steroidal compounds in it. I'm not sure which one's are free of steroids ? Our LLMD prescribed rx allegra, when my son contracted a sinus infection.
