So today for about 3 hours I kept getting waves of the chills all throughout my body. This is the
first time this has ever happened to me. Is this common? I am positive for lyme and LLMD suggest I
have bart. On week 5 of treatment. Ceftin, Rifampin, and pulse flagyl. I do the epsom baths
and take probiotics, take NT Detox, drink lemon water, the whole 9 yards.

I developed tremors after ramping up treatments, supps, and lemon water. I guess if its chills you can take your temp and see if its related. Mine were tremors, first the left arm, then just about everywhere. Had an ER visit, and the MRI proved not a lesion or stroke. Saw a movement disorder neuro, not ALS, Parkinsons or Parkinsons like. About a week later I stopped everything, including vits, lemons, etc. The tremors stopped for a week or two. At that point I was reintroducing supps. It stopped again. I have the two MTHFR gene mutations so maybe this is part of it. I tolorate Glutathion IV fine. My situation of course may not really guide you much, but something like what you are experiencing has happended to this Lyme dx person (four bands, one lyme specific), seven years of symptoms, dozens of doctors all ruling out other condtions. Hope this helps, PM me if you like, we can swap notes on LL docs in the area. best, Rob

I will go through periods of getting chills as well- mostly around when I am herxing from the antibiotics.
Week 5 out on treatment can be the approx. time a herx can occur (when I have restarted abx treatment I find that the first initial herx is in the 4-6 week time period then settles down to about every 4 weeks).
Do you keep a diary/log of your body temperature or have an idea of what your temperature fluctuation are? It is not uncommon for Lyme to cause lower body temperatures overall.
When I am having the chills, often I find that my body temp will dive to around 96 or 97 causing some pretty decent chills. Also will get a feverish feeling when the temp comes back up towards normal.

My chills are proto/babs related, but I agree with Rob, too many supplements can do it after you eat. I have MTHFR too, so that may have something to do with it (too much to handle). I think it is a good idea to take a break from them (one day a week or whatever works).
