I went undiagnosed for years and am wondering whether it is just me or if you say have a simple viral infection or as in my case, possible sinusitis, does it affect your whole body? I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck-body aches, feverish, fatigue, dizziness, etc. though my sinus symptoms have died down.

I guess what I'm asking is how do YOU feel when you think you might have another infection on top of what you're already fighting? Oh btw, I've never actually had a true cold or fever for many years, just felt like I was dying... anyone?

Definitely! Just this week I felt a cold or some non-Lyme-related bug coming on. I feel so much worse than I used to (pre-Lyme) when something like this comes on.

Everthing seems amplified now.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

I caught a cold almost 3 weeks ago, and I'm still dragging. One day I'm okay, the next day I feel horrible fatigue. I can't seem to shake it.

Yes, this is how I feel too- 1000 times worse than my 'normal' self.. I never ever get a real cold, just that low-lying viral feeling that never goes away. Did you remember to up your Vit C? I hope you feel better.

I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with this cold. It just lingered and lingered.

Welcome to Lyme World.
