I have Lyme/Bartonella and possible babesia (will soon be tested for that one).
I now feel like I'm coming down with a non-lyme related bug.
What can I do to help my immune system through this? I think that with the non-lyme bug attacking my immune system, it's allowing my current lyme flare to take even more of a hold on me.
I was diagnosed with lyme in 2008, but since then have not had any other sicknesses to deal with on top of it.
Any suggestions? I'm scared that my immune system is just going to take a major beating.
Thanks so much!

jwick; Was just in Bucks County...where I think I picked up a bug..really..
I am holding pretty steady on my lyme tx but got re-bitten a couple of weeks ago.
Now I have a classic cold /head cold/allergy thing going on. Allergies in our area are so very high. Been sick for 5 days and just starting to feel back to square now.
I thought my immune system would fail me but it responded pretty well. I just took extra care to rest, eat well, beefed up on my supplements, lots of green tea..etc....nothing mind blowing - I just let it run its course.
Sorry I dont have much adivce to give bu thope you feel better soon. TG

Hi trigal2. Sorry to hear you got re-bitten. I hope you continue to hold steady.
Thanks for the advice. I'll try to pick up some green tea and restock my supplements. I'm glad to hear that getting a cold doesn't necessarily knock you off your feet.
Hope you're doing well! Hopefully, if you're ever back in Bucks, you won't take any bugs with you when you leave. There are definitely better things to do here!
