Despite a variety of antibiotics for several months since exposure to Lyme/Bart/Babs I have had the flu three times despite getting the shot (positive test) and have had various secondary infections-ear, sinus, bladder, upper respiratory and more several times, maybe 18 total in less than one year. It's like I can't fight off anything now. Before I was very healthy- 10 or less infections for 20 years. Any ideas/ suggestions? Articles about this? I've started adding B, C and D vitamins...

Compromised immunity, possibly from the tick-born infections. They're well known to do that.

You need to have your subclasses checked for your immune system. There are 4 of them and then the overall IGa. This is so important to tell you what your immune system is doing. Ask for the sub classes not just the IGa.

sk8ter - this went over my head. Is this a blood test? What are the 4?

May health be with you!

Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began.
