Does Lyme or any of the other coinfections cause a flare up of symptoms in the Spring?
April is the worst month of the year for me, and this year is proving to be no exception.
My gut is trying to stop functioning again. I was really, really hoping treating the Lyme would make this stop happening.

My acupuncturist says spring is a particularly stressful time on everyones bodies (as is fall). I just think those of us battling illnesses have it harder.
Also, mold starts to sing in the spring.
Hope you feel better soon Razzle.

Where I live, mold kicks up in the Fall...and lasts all Winter into Spring. But I feel best during late Fall & Winter, and worst during Spring.
It may be from pollen...but I don't know how to combat this, as I take antihistamines regularly.

- A reminder for anyone with breathing issues:
. . . Even a single dose of acetaminophen can reduce the body�s levels of glutathione, a peptide that helps repair oxidative damage that can drive inflammation in the airways, researchers have found. . . . -

- All of these, sometimes separate, sometimes teaming up, have been wonderful life-savers for me (and my lungs) in many ways:

Being allergic to acetaminophen (contains sulfites, and sulfites = anaphylaxis for me), I avoid it like the plague...

- Ah, hah. Thanks, Razzle. I did not know that about the sulfites.
A good point to add to my frequent notes hoping others can avoid it (as it can really clobber the liver, too, as most know - but not everyone yet). -

When I feel the gastroparesis coming on... I step up the miralax (some at night) and one benedryl before bed.

Mary,
Thanks for the info. Miralax is bad for me, turns my colon into cement. But magnesium works quite well.
Yeah, I take Claritin, but sometimes get side-effects so I stop for a bit. Guess I shouldn't do that
Keebler,
Found out about the sulfites in acetaminophen the hard way...ugh! Then I read the label...and saw the sulfites.
