Hi, I wonder can COVID make somehow relapse or flare with Lyme and co-infections? I had an appointment University doctor and they were super interested in me having Lyme before and had some of the same symptoms. I looked up an article and research is saying that COVID sets up a cytokine storm etc. Hmmm

DR P, author of the Book Chronic - believes that it can - and even that long Covid syndrome may in fact in some cases be lyme / co-infection relapse
he talks about it in some of his youtube videos
(editing out dr's name)

Yes. I get a cold and feel great during it because my immune system is revved. But then once it's over, my immune systems lowers and lyme takes advantage.
My lyme started after mold make me sick and a bad flu shot. Anything that lowers your immune system can allow lyme to take hold.
