Does anyone else have increased neuro symptoms after showering? Worse dizziness, disorientation, confusion, anxiety, etc. I even sit down to shower and shower in warm/cool water. Any ideas?

Showering sometimes makes my symptoms worse, especially dizziness and weakness. I think if I use cooler water I feel better. I don't know if it's the steam from warm water or what. I also have POTS which can cause a lot of blood pooling and being upright in the warm water makes things worse. I've heard a lot of people with POTS spray their legs with cold water when they shower to constrict the blood vessels there and reduce pooling. That seems to help me somewhat too.

I experienced the same thing, yes. I didn't realize it was the Babesia.

Sky, my dizziness and leg weakness are much worse after a shower or bath. I always assumed the feeling like I was going to pass out after showering was related to POTS , but i do have babs as well, so perhaps that is the main cause.
I find that taking lukewarm baths and showers helps the most. Jess.

Thanks a lot. I have never treated babs and always kind of doubted having it (or scared to treat it). I don't have sweats or chills. However, I am geting sicker even though I have treated lyme for awhile. I guess I am just scared of mepron. Should I be?
