Hyperhidrosis or hyperhydrosis can be caused by many things. Several of these problems are well known to Lyme patients.

Cardiac autonomic dysregulation
Hypoglycemia
Peripheral neuropathy
Side effect of propanolol (B.P. med given for essential tremors)

One frequent treatment is anticholinergic drugs. Hubby has taken 3 out of the 4 different anticholinergic drugs listed in the article for stomach problems and/or tremors. They definitely will stop sweating and the ditropan commonly prescribed for ladies for overactive bladder can totally stop urination at too high a dose.

If you end up on an anticholinergic, please be alert for signs of overdose such as dry mouth, dry eyes, not sweating etc.

The type of sweating talked about in the article is consistent excess sweating with no other symptoms. Not like babs where you might have a temp or chills or have nausea or a headache etc.

Thanks for this post also...

Hey Tabers...if you're doing what you say I believe you ARE treating babs along with BB...

The tests are very poor...so

Then there's the theory that one must treat babs first and then BB...

Course...there's a theory that you can treat BB then Babs and then go back and hit the BB again...

No one really knows what's best...zman
