Your symptoms sound exactly like mine before I was treated for Babesia.

I also had night sweats and day sweats but only a few over a six month period or so while I was trying to get diagnosed.

My fever only seemed to pop up in the evening and stayed right around 100 degrees.

My symptoms came and went. You need to get tested for Babesia. Sounds very suspicious.

Delt,

You sound like me. I used to always have a low temperature and then this past year and a half, i started gettting a late afternoon fever. Its usually never above 99.5.

I have NEVER had night sweats. Even since i started treatment.

Sometimes i will get out of breath, and i dont smoke either. Actually, before i got really sick, i would stay on an ecliptical trainer for an hour and be fine. I would lift weights after that.

Maybe we dont have to have the night sweats to have babs.

Take care,

Jordan

I'm no expert, but it sounds as though you still have Babesia. Forget about not having the night sweats. You can have a simmering co-infection that is simply sub-clinical. It's taken me a while to figure out that you don't have to have every Babesia symptom to have Babesia. Babesia is in many ways like malaria. You think you're over it, & boom it's there again.

You probably already know all this stuff,----but Babs will hijack the progress of your Lyme treatment. The BABS symptom I noticed most was shortness of breath.

My LLMD said some mild cases are cured with 21 days of Mepron & Zith, but many take at least 4 rounds of Mepron/Zith to eradicate it.

This site has stated that it can take many months to cure BABS & that in some cases it's much tougher to get rid of than we've been told. I was really shocked when I read that.

I'm disappointed that I've undergone 14 months of Lyme treatment only to find out at this late date that I have Babs. Heck, I've known about "co-infections" and the importance of treating them this whole time. Yet only now am I just beginning to understand how they arrest your Lyme treatment in a big way.

After all symptoms of Babs are gone, I'm going to be tested for Bartonella and if symptoms are still hanging on, I'm going to get treated for that too. They both require different meds. And then on to---Erlichiosis.

Only then can I expect the Lyme to get better. From what my LLMD told me is that after some treatment of Lyme, BABS can remain a bigger problem than Lyme. Once the Babs are gone, your remaining progress of Lyme treatment will speed up.

Don't settle for less. When you've got symptoms hanging on------yep, there's a reason for it. Not very profound, but true.
Best of luck!
