I havent had consistent night sweats- It seems to be a herx i guess. 4 times total that I can remember. Can family doctors test for coinfections?? Cant get to LLMD for a month- My remaining symptoms:
occaisional night sweats
blurry vision ( getting better )
swollen glands (occasionally painful)
flush feeling in afternoon
Is this still lyme or the remains of a untreated coinfection?

Anyone who can help I thank you

I have had this for going on four yrs. Have been now treated for co-infections regardless of the fact that Bowen said I just have lyme. I don't know that much, however, have read that Babs causes the sweats. I get the sweats and hate them. Not sure; hope others reply.

I had night sweats. My PCP said it was menopause. Well, they went away after 4 months on Mepron and Zithromax. I am still on Mepron and not having night sweats. In my case it was Babs.

I used to get night sweats. It was from Bartonella.

Hi

I have had the same process going on that you have inidicated. I previously have severe day and night sweets. These slowly subsided with babesia treatment (which also helps with bartonella.)

I had a period where all the night sweats went away but then they occasionally returned on a persistent basis. These have continued until I switched Lyme abx. Once the swtich occured. they have gone away (now about 2 weeks on new abx now). The Dr's opinion was that these where due to Lyme whereas the original ones where due to babesia.

This seems to now have been proven in that after the switch from zithromax + Flagyl to biaxin+rifampin, they have gone away. I stopped the babesia meds when I started the new abx. I was taking zith+mepron for 7 months.

The sweats with babesia where notable in that they where very very severe (face and body would drip water like you where running in a hot day) and would spontaneously start and stop, day or night. The ones at night in the last phase where much less severe and not as abrupt.

Blurred vision still occurs and is lyme cycle related.

Swollen glands; This was very noticable in the past by has diminished significantly. They originally wnere very painful, progressing to painful to the touch , to being just swollen to a point where they just hurt during a symptom flair. They are restricted to the head area.
There is some debate over this but I have been told by 3 Dr's that this does not occur with Lyme alone and is indicative of bartonella. While I cannot comment on their opinions, the swelling seems to track the lyme symptom flair ups and guess that this would indicate it is lyme related.

Flush feeling; I have not sem this but the other symptoms that I have are always worse in the afternoon, particulalry if I have missed lunch. Methylcabolomine helps a lot with this.

Hope that helps.

I have suffered from horrible night sweats throughout my years of suffering and not knowing what I had.

I may well have and may still have a Babs problem, but, what has relieved my drenching night sweats, has been hormone therapy.

My night sweats were so bad, my husband had to come in the middle of the night to my room and help me change clothes and bedsheets. I would wake up drenched and freezing from the air hitting the sweat.

I'm copying the following from another post I did recently:

"I think that many poster's here have done the 24hr urine panel as there are plenty of folks here seeing Dr. C of MO, me included.
You should do a search of old posts on this subject. Try the keywords 24 hr urine, or hormones...you should get plenty of results as this has been discussed many times in the past year.

I did it and 5 months later was in deep trouble with my hormones. I had to stop them in November as I was beginning a long trip of vomiting for the next 6 months.

My local PCP has started me on another route and that is a Saliva Test that actually today I will be sending out to ZRT Laboratory. You can find out about that at www.salivatest.com

I am convienced that this is a better way than the 24 hr urine test and I am very hopeful with the pending results. These hormones will be compounded as with the hormones given after the 24 hr urine test...you do not have to be off hormones to do this test. And, where I will be getting mine, the compounding pharmacy, will be playing big time throughout the process.

I was very leary that I was not to be re-tested on the 24hr urine and the slavia will be tested after 2 months on the hormones and anytime after I feel they need to be checked. This way is also very cheaper in the testing and the hormones.

If anyone is interested in this, then, check out the above website and it will explain everything about the testing and what to expect. The go by symptoms as well as the salvia, which I think is inherently better."

Now keep in mind that you do not have to be female or going through menapause to have your hormones out-of-whack. It can and does happen to anyone, especially those with LD.
