Anyone notice that they are catching a bunch of viruses after being on antibiotics for months?

I have not noticed this but lyme in general will suppress your immune system and will likely cause the reactivation of dormant viruses.

Absolutely! (As I sit here blowing my nose and coughing from the latest cold) On the plus side, none of them have turned into sinus infections like they usually do...

Most lyme patients do not get "communicable" diseases. I rarely ever caught anything when I had Lyme.

I think it is different for everyone. I catch everything going around.

I am thinking the exact same thing. I have a cold right now and have been sick off and on all winter.
I never got sick while I had lyme disease before starting abx!! And that was while I was going to the doctor every other week still trying to figure out what was wrong with me, and being around sick people during the winter.
Now this past winter I haven't been as exposed yet I have been sick the whole time after starting abx.
It's weird, not sure what is up with that!!

I think i have asked this question before but I can't find the thread. I have this horrible cold and I need it to go away!!
Any suggestions?
