I've not slept much. I am burning up hot under the sheets but When I take off the covers I get chilled. I don't have a fever.
Also my skin is deep burning and itching. This got worse after an Epsom salt bath.
I am nervous about heavy metals and yeast. I am suppose to start mepron and azithromycin. I can't take this if it continues to get worse. Idk if its bacteria or what.
Help anyone? This is keeping me from sleeping at all.

So sorry you are not feeling well.
Did you rinse off after taking the Epsom salt bath?

I have the same issues with the itching, burning. It feels like I cant scratch deep enough.
I also get chills and hot flashes. My LLMD told me it sounds like Bart.

Messa,
Have you started any new meds, supplements etc?
Posted by faithful777 (Member # 22872) on :
Epsom salts can make you itch if your skin is dry. You might want to shower off after soaking in them.
Is it itching like dry skin or creepy crawling itching like something is crawling on you? The latter can be from Lyme and coinfections.

I've been having the same symptoms. I was told the chills/heat are clear signs of parasitic infection (babs). I also get the deep itching. especially on my legs, rear, and back. I'm being treated for babs but my herx's have brought out even more symptoms.

I agree that your symptoms sound like Babs. When will you start treatment for it? Have you treated it before?
Posted by Messa (Member # 38065) on :
Ty so much everyone for your concern. I am going to be starting treatment for babs soon. As soon as I can get the meds.
I am sooo miserably sick. Now I'm having diarrhea again. It's like the rash feeling is a reaction to something. I don't think it's necessarily caused by the Epsom salt but maybe that did irritate it. Now I've got what looks like a butterfly rash on my cheeks!
Oh I'm so sorry to keep going on n on like this but this is horrible! Maybe it's just plain old lupus!
The chills n sweats seem to be when my gut messes up. I'm doing everything I know to do. Eating healthy but I continue to hv these reactions n they are getting worse.
Thank you guys so much!

I did take artemesia for the first time yesterday but idk. It just seems like more of the same but slowly getting worse. It starts out I feel real hot then skin feels like I need to scratch but also burning sensation. It gets red when I scratch it.
Although when I went in the sun the other day my knee got rashy. My cheeks are trashing wout me scratching them.
