Feeling worse after having a strange sickness?

So, a couple weeks ago, I came down with something that's a bit out of the ordinary for me. It's more like the sort of cold one would get, if their immune system were working properly - say, the common cold. In fact, it reminded me of being sick, before I got sick with Lyme/co.

It started with a sore throat, lasting a couple days, which then lessened and transitioned into runny nose, congestion, a light cough, fatigue, etc.

Part of me wanted to take it as a good sign, but I don't know, especially considering that I've been feeling worse ever since.

That said, I'm curious what your guys' thoughts are on it.

I'm guessing I opened up a pocket of something - what, I'm not sure, but something. Something that I'd managed to keep tame for awhile, I don't know.

I really wish I could get things pinned down, because, as it stands, I kind of just have a lot of symptoms that are indicative of some co-infections, overlap with others, and you know the story.

Babesia is a real concern, though I do not suffer from the classic symptom of air hunger. Though, there was a point when I did, years ago, before I had an idea what I was suffering from. I need to get my gut/diet in order, so I can play around with treating that and parasites in general.

Hm, anyway.. thanks!

Cya in a bit!

I had one of those as well....nope lyme is still there.
I am just paranoid I will die of heart complications.

Artermix, I'm certain the Lyme's still with me - there's no question about that. Though, my apologies for you getting your hopes up, then reaching a grim realization, upon getting a similar cold.

I just thought, maybe I'm fending it off, or even getting a little better?

My immune system's definitely involved, of course. Though, I don't know if it's a good thing, like you said, multifacetedme. I do know that the return of such sicknesses is often marked as a step in the right direction, but the fact that I'm feeling worse going on two weeks later makes me wonder if that's the case for me.

My gut tells me it is a bad thing.

Though, k07, you reminded me that there are two sides to many different coins for a lot of us. By that, I mean, something could be bad, but it could also be good. That's vague and confusing, but I don't know.

I know better than to think that I'm dealing with just one thing, but I do it anyway, for the sake of not being overwhelmed.

Anyway, I will just keep doing what I can, I suppose.

Best wishes, my friends.
