In The Organon of Medicine, written by Dr. Hahnemann, the developer of homeopathy, it states in Aphorism 38 that one reaction to an acute, dissimilar illness - that comes on stronger than the older chronic
disease - is that the older disease recedes until the new stronger acute burns itself out. Then the old, chronic disease returns.
"Two children affected with a kind of epilepsy, remained free from epileptic attacks after infection with ringworm; but as soon as the eruption on the head was gone the epilepsy returned just as before."
Another observation by Dr Schopf: the itch disappeared on the occurrence of the
scurvy, but after the cure of the scurvy the itch broke out again." Perhaps this explains your keen observation.

This is why bee venom therapy helps bring relief in some cases.

Melittin (in Bee venom) and Ritalin work in a similar manner with regards to "dopamine transporter internalization".
Rho GTPase is involved.
Yes...sis (who had lyme - now "autoimmune") often had lyme symptoms lessen temporarily when she had a common virus.
The body has to decide which immune response is most critical for defense at the moment. Both can't be "on" at the same time i.e., choose Th1 or Th2 response.
In reality, there is a Th3 (TGFb involved) pathway too, but I won't go into that.
IMO...start learning about HBOT therapy. Keep an open mind. It is more effective than you can imagine.

I was feeling much better last February, even off abx, until I came down with a simus infection that became bronchitis. Did my Lyme feel better? Absolutely not.
I felt as thought my immune system had been overloaded. All my neuro Lyme symptoms came back with a vengeance. And they stayed, even though I've been on abx ever since.

I think you may be on the right way.
for decades, I was the cold-free type. Only once in a while I would get a bad flu, then that was it. For years, no cold, nothing, until years later, another flu.
Then I caught lyme. Zero cold, zero flu during active lyme.
then lyme was getting better, and I caught a cold. First in a decade, I think.
After lyme was gone, I kept catching colds once every 2 months. I became afraid of colds!!
At a certain point, I lived in a polluted place and caught a cold every 2 weeks in winter!!
I do think in my case it was a matter of Th1 and Th2 balance. (or imbalance!!!) During lyme, it was ZERO COLD really.
You may be getting really better!!!!
