- Oh, I thought you had written "mild asthma" in your first post (maybe I read that wrong?) and assumed that is why you had the Advair in the first place.
Still, the things about air quality are important for anyone and can contribute to body wide inflammation that may not be quite over the top but still affect sleep quality.
It's also rather disconcerting that any doctor would prescribe or even suggest Advair (or any corticosteroid inhaler) for someone who does not have severe asthma - as you say you really have no issues with your lungs. None. Zero.
Steroids can cause all kinds of long term issues, such as bone softening (just for one). I'm just sorry to see any doctor not look for other methods.

What are some opinions from the people on this board on oxygen therapy or rifing to cure Lyme and co infections?

- I have some hesitation about oxygen - but be sure to go up to the search feature and you can find past threads on the topic.
IMO, Rife can be an excellent way to go, along with support herbs / nutrients. Yet, it's still best if you can have an ILADS educated LL ND to first fully assess your case and then guide you.
You can check out Rosner's book, and browse the Rife discussion thread here, and the Facebook group, too, to see others' paths, questions along the way, etc.
And, really, a rife machine can be a superb machine to have for life, for yourself as other things are to be encountered throughout the years for yourself or loved ones. Every home should have one, I think.
searches are faster if you use the subject heading but sometimes someone will have a thread and the subject line just might not have the key search term in it. -

Something to keep in mind is that since you've been sick a couple years and don't have many symptoms, your immune system has been working enough to keep the disease from going out of control.
You'll probably want think about long-term maintenance to keep yourself healthy and keep the infection (or infections) at bay no matter what methods you chose.
Also, there's no way to know if Lyme is ever cured. There's no accurate testing. Some people go into remission and then it comes back years later. That's why it's so important to keep yourself healthy whether it be herbal support or other methods. Some people take low-dose antibiotics for several years after ending hardcore treatment.
Lastly, I think you had a preview of what hardcore Lyme treatment is like from when you treated H. pylori.
