New symptom or cold?

Yesterday I saw a new LLMD and it was a great appt. I have been pain free for a week - except that the abx are still making me feel tired/weak. For the past few hours I feel like I have mild sore throat, and like a dull ache at the top of my head - like right at the very top of my skull and a tiny bit in my cheeks - like how I used to feel if I was getting a sinus infection. I'm supposed to stop antibiotics Sunday and go full on herbs. Do you guys think these are new lyme symptoms or just a cold from too much A/C? It has been hot again in NYC and we have had to sleep with A/C on past few nights. Ugh...

Peteza,

Thank you. I was wondering what lymies do in the future and if every ache and pain is thought of as lyme from here on end. Well no headache this morning but now not convinced I'm symptom free. I'm supposed to go off abx. sunday (six weeks) to give my body a rest from them and then just do herbs. We will see. What are your symptoms now? What is still left? Hard to believe that any of us are ever 100% symptom free. I know that sounds pessimistic and I don't mean to sound that way, but... had dreams last night of moving my sofa and there was an infestation of baby rats and then I looked down at my chest and there were dark worms all over my body. I was bit on the chest. Nice.

Girlie,

That is super helpful, as always thank you. Both headache and sore throat are gone. I have officially turned into a lyme-symptom hypochondriac.

LOL! So true. NO ONE would want this. I just read something very helpful: It's not the circumstances of our lives that make us happy or unhappy, but what we tell ourselves. Self-awareness lets us track our self-talk, that silent monologue that goes on in our heads all day.

Talk about finding the perfect passage on the perfect day. Thanks universe!

At this point we would all rather have an SD. So your symptoms really changed that much? Good to know. How is it now? Do you have days that are good and without pain? I hope you are feeling good.
