Every evening between 5 and 8 I have started having low grade fevers. This is the first time of having fevers since bitten by a tick last summer.
Test results revealed: Babesia, Ehrlichia, and Lyme.
Was just curious why all of a sudden fevers would start and which infection is causing them. Thanks for sharing your experience.

If it's of any help MorningSong, you're not alone. I get feverish from about 1 - 5pm. I'm fighting the big 3, same as you.

My guess is babs.

Yup, that happened to me for a couple of weeks at a time. Just late afternoon into evening. About 99.9.Weird.
Or I would have the opposite of really low body temps like 97.2.
I didn't notice these various fluctuations in body temperature until I took myself off of Tylenol, Advil, etc. to help with my neck and muscle pain. Who knows how long those fevers were going on since I was always on a pain medicine.
I would say that your meds are working. The bugs are getting mad!

I get those fevers in the evening too. Also sweats! My hair is drenched.
I think it is a herx reaction to treatment. I agree with Lemons... the meds are working.
It is so frustrating to be feeling good that I'm feeling bad with the hope that someday I will be feeling good all the time. And not feel bad about it.

That happens to me every night between 9 and 11pm. I'll be freezing cold then wham, burning up and sweating all of a sudden.

I totally understand this too. And lemons, I get the same EXACT temp readings. I've heard that the late afternoon low grade fevers are hightly associated with babesia; but who knows. Hope we all get through this; i truly do. been sick for 10 years and in a severe flare up for almost 3 months; im so sick and tired of being sick and tired!

Mine would usually start at 4 pm or so. Every evening, just about 100 degrees.
I do recall reading that this is common for those dealing with all this.
