Got the flu

I have the flu on top of acute lyme relapse. Doing my best but it's rough. It's definitely exacerbating all my lyme symptoms intensely. Is this anyone else's experience too? I'm taking zinc and elderberry and a break from my herbs since I cannot handle the herx and the flu

Ouch! I'm so sorry! But I do have to ask, are you sure it's the flu? Sometimes herxing can feel like a flu as well. Just checking.

Stay well hydrated and rest!!! If it is the flu, it's good that you stopped treatment for a few days to play catch up.

I am resting lying in bed but my foot and shin pain and other symptoms off the herbs get bad too. I'm tempted to take low dose jk as that's what I want to restart with anyway but I duno. I have terrible nausea I can't push too far

Hot water with lemon, honey, and cinnamon: Honey and cinnamon helps prevent mucus buildup and keeps you hydrated.

I learned the above here -- /draxe.com/flu-natural-remedies/

I would deal with the flu first and then get back to the lyme when you are a little stronger. Do some bone broth, preferably warm. The moisture from drinking warm liquids helps the congestion.
