Hi Steph,
Welcome to our community! I'm so glad you found us.
Ad Girlie said, if you haven't yet, it would be helpful for you to start with reading through the thread at the top of the forum titled,"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", as it is packed full of important information, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, information on probiotics and much more.
And, here's another good place to find helpful detoxing routines:

I have had some pretty bad reactions to a flu shot. I got one twice, and have never had another one, as it makes all my symptoms worse, particularly the fluish feeling and pain levels.
If you need help in finding a LLMD, please do let us know!!
