Well, one of the curses of Lyme Disease is that your immune system is weak. I have contracted another horrible cold with Bronchial infection. My asthma has been acting up, I can't get comfortable enough to sleep well... wah wah waaaaaah
I blame college kids.
After being stranded in NYC I finally got home, by Amtrak. It was a great way to travel, the seats are much larger than on an airplane. I was even able to lay down (in a ball) and rest for a while. However... the ride is much longer, so I was exposed to many more germs.
The train was full of kids returning from spring break. I sat near a ditsy blond who had spent the entire past week getting drunk and "hooking up" in Cancun. She also brought back some nasty germ... which she spread to the entire train cabin by coughing wide mouthed into the open air repeatedly. My 5 year old was appalled when I told him about my ride. He said if he was on the train he would have told her the proper way to cough (into your elbow) so you don't spread germs.
Oh well, it just means I take azythromycin for a week, then wait a while before starting back up on my antibiotics for my Lyme. Probably I'll start on the Clarithromycin and Plaquenil combination again soon... but I have to get over this respiratory infection first. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever finish my Lyme treatment. I seem to keep having to stop due to other illnesses. The good news is, when I'm off the antibiotics I can definitely tell that I am getting better on the whole... it's just taking a long time.
