I was having problems with phlegm in my throat...and then it got better.
Now it's come back again...

Anyone have this happen?

I get it now and then. Possibly caused by protomyzoa

I get it periodically, some years it was overwhelming. Lately not as bad but I have been on 60 days of abx. At times felt like I was drowning im phlegm, mornings wrre the worst.

interested in this thread, b/c my son gets some bad phlegm in his throat, clearing his throat a lot and bringing up gunk.

what is protomyzoa? is that a parasite?

I hate that, don't you?

I just assumed it was allergies and post-nasal drip. Post-nasal drip is also an indication of chronic sinusitis.

I would recommend an air purifier and dehumidifier.

It just seems like I have all these medical issues now...that came on with the lyme disease symptoms.
For now, I'm going to think of it as one of my Lyme symptoms.

It makes me feel better. I wouldn't know how to decipher which ones are Lyme related and which ones will be left over after. So, for now it's all Lyme disease!!!

Maybe once i start treatment a few of them will subside...

Well, you know what I think it is: Some people are more susceptible to getting Lyme and coinfections than others. Don't ask me how that works.

What I'm trying to say, is that, if your immunity was already compromised, and you (perhaps) already had some health problems, exposure to toxins, etc., than you're going to be more susceptible to getting full-blown Lyme disease.

Sorry, I'm too tired to speculate, explain, etc.

You may also be suffering from exposure to mold, pollen, dust, or some kind of toxin.

Are you using all natural cleaning and health products?

I agree teragram. Who knows why, but I think that lyme, etc. maybe just tip the balance if there were already other things there. Maybe the straw that broke the camels back. Even if it is just toxic pesticides or mold, etc. like you said. The body's a complicated thing, and who knows all the why's and how's, but I do think it's something like that. I know it's not my original thought, but I do agree with others who think this way.

IKR Girlie!!....hard to decipher ""So, for now it's all Lyme disease!!!"" LOL...thats how I feel too!

I have bouts where mucous will come up and I remember I read somewhere that that is a part of your body detoxing as well. Its weird but I can never tell if mine comes from my sinus's or lungs....really weird

I know what u mean Orchid. I saw my Dr and she asked if it was post nasal drip or from acid reflux. Actually it doesnt feel like either. Ive never had this issue bfore. Maybe the ENT doc will know. Add another specialist appt to my long list.

Coughing up lots of stuff has been a rather constant problem for me. When I could still exercise I would cough up endless spit and clumps that were yellow. My lungs actually started causing me a lot of pain and that led to having one diagnosis from a specialist of lung pleurisy and another of mold in my lungs from my lymes doc. Either way I am very comforted to hear it is a problem for many. I do wish you all comfort in this journey! And certainly that this and all of our symptoms improve.
