Lately I have been experiencing burning feet, and fingers but only at night. It seems to get worse when I just lay still and then try to fall asleep. I have also been waking up with the sweats but I don't think they are babs sweats. Could this all be from lyme? Or am I missing something.
Thanks everyone.

Yes I experience burning feet as well as burning palms and stinging all over my body. It is a daily occurrence and very difficult to live with. When I am busy it is not as disurbing but when you lie still is becomes more pronounced.
I used to think it was from the antibiotics but it gets worse when I come off of them. It appears to be neuropathy from the disease and there is medication for it but I have enough side effects to deal with from the antibiotics. Hope this helps!

Have you been tested or treated for Bartonella?

Yes, I was tested for bart several times.
Although I always tested negative I took levaquin for four months, septra, ketek, and IV zithromax.
My doc currently has me on mino for the burning sensations, but I haven't noticed a decrease in symptoms.
Maybe this is just permanent damage? Will our nerves eventually heal by themselves?
Thanks again everyone.

My feet burn at night. I lay an ice pack on them so I can sleep.
I have positive lyme...hopefully, its the lyme and that will be treated.

My feet actually burn from feeling cold like they are on dry ice.It is terrible at night or any time I'm still. Sometimes an electric blanket helps mine.

Could the burning be an autoimmune response? Just a thought.
Thanks for your responses everyone.

Sorry to post about this again, but this symptom is really making me crazy.
Last night was just horrible for me. I had really bad burning and both my hands and feet turned almost a purplish red. They were also hot to the touch and I had the sweats with it.
I am still beating the babs back and really thought it was gone. I took lariam, mepron, zith, ketek,art, septra, and now malarone.
My concern is that this is babesia once again. Although I know lyme can cause sweats and burning sensations.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again everyone. Posted by lesley1954 (Member # 7626) on :
You might research erythromelalgia. My mother has this condition and does not have Lyme disease (as far as I know). The painful, red-purple color to the feet and hands is main symptom, I believe. She gets relief from lidocaine patches. Her symptoms wax and wane.
