Who knows, but way to see the glass as half-full! I would guess it's a good sign if I had to conjecture. Good luck adamm!

increase your vit D3. It really helps fight off cold and flu. Healthy people RDA is 2000 IU.

This caught my eye as I'm experiencing the same thing and am wondering if it might be a good sign too, or not?
I've not had any type of cold-virus for over 3 years even when the rest of my family is passing it all around. I still have plenty of Lyme and company symptoms, but am seeing slow improvement over the last 10 months of abx tx.
I now have a terrible sore throat, stuffy nose, typical cold symptoms. I am hopeful that this is a good sign...ya think? TS

When I got the flu on top of rampant untreated Lyme, the first year I had it, my Lyme systems lessened somewhat, for awhile. It was natural to suspect some kind of "battle of the bugs", whth cold viruses infecting lyme chetes, etc., but I had also started grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, and mega-garlic. Not only that, but I had just met some family in Florida, where the place they rented had a sauna. I could barely do anything but sit in the sauna when I first arrived; I came very close to not going on that trip. The sauna unquestionably had an effect on the lyme, too, which may have lasted awhile. That was when I got the flu so perhaps it was that flu that was hampering the lyme.
Actually, it seems likely that the mechanism behind both these observed effects was the same-- increased body temp. I read somewhere that lyme doesn't thrive as well at higher temps, and indeed may take over the body's temp regulation system to lower body temperature, thus making conditions more favorable for its growth (How nasty is that!). This did seem to happen in my case (I initially had a very high temp-103--but that 7th month after I got lyme, suddenly my temp not only went down, it went subnormal- even for me.) That would seem to be a logical explanation why the flu apparently inhibited the growth of Lyme DaveSPosts: 4567 | From ithaca, NY, usa | Registered: Nov 2000
