i have a question..on christmas eve i came down with terrible nausea and exhaustion..
when i laid down, about an hour later..i woke up with a temp of 102 and my head was burning up..but the rest of my body was shaking with chills.. i was
so cold i had to take a hot shower to balance my temperature, but had to sit down cause i was so nauseaus..i feel like i have to be laying down all the time or i will puke..
ive been sick for 3-4 days now..fever broke on day 2 but i was wondering if this was a stomach flu or a lyme relapse?? can the flu trigger a relapse??
im nervous because i was so sick 4 mos back and i really do not want to go back there..or start having lyme GI problems..
how does lyme GI present itself??
during the last 3-4 days..i have also had horrible stomach cramping that seems to wax and wane, diarrhea, and a knot it feels like in my lower abodoman.
any advice or opinions would be very much appreciated....

I've had the same exact thing you described this week. Not only was I vomiting and sooooo nauseous, the muscle, joint and bone aches and pains were so severe. I am used to high pain levels for arthritis, but this was so different and so intense. I believe I have a stomach virus. It took about 4 days to subside.
Then just for fun, it turned into a nice head and chest cold. I was due to have my Picc line placed and my first IV treatment on 12/26. My doctor recommended that I wait until I was better.
I don't think I could have handled laying still enough without jumping up to run to the bathroom. I'm sure I would have grossed out the Picc folks.
So, once again I am sick. But I think it's whatever is going around and not particularly Lyme related. I think having Lyme lowers my resistance for fighting it off sooner, that's all.
Have a happy and healthy New Year. I can't wait for 2007. Because 1987 to 2006, have sucked.

with that suddent onset, if it happened to me or someone I knew I would say flu. There is a nasty flu bug going around for the last few weeks.
I would ride it out for a few days to see what happens.
