I have been getting this stupid cold on and off since my neurological symptoms started. In October I had a sore throat (really scratchy) and congestion. In December I had the same exact cold with the same two symptoms. I am now sick again with a sore throat and horrible congestion.
It feels like a continuation of my first cold. I also get "hot flashes" randomly where my face gets really hot and then a short time later I get really cold. It's driving me nuts!
Is this another issue that people with lyme get often..getting sick alot? The colds go away on their own but the next one is never far away.

Your immune system is overwhelmed.
Maybe some vitamin C would help boost your system.

Have you been tested for coinfections? It sounds like one could be involved here.
