I have found that my sweat glands under my arm pits run like taps when I take Artemisia.
Does anyone have this?? and do you link it to Babesia in any way??
Its really odd. Nowhere else sweats in the day time just arm pits.

Hi,
I am having the same problem. Are your sweats in the day as well?
Posted by NMN (Member # 11007) on :
Yep.. day time only too. Its related to taking art for babs for me.
Posted by sutherngrl (Member # 16270) on :
It can also be related to Lyme; because lyme messes "everything" in your body up.
Also now that I am exploring autoimmune issues rather than LD, I am finding that the treatment for that is helping with the arm pit sweats.
This has been a symptom of mine ever since I became ill with LD and or autoimmune disorder. It always happens during the day and it comes out of nowhere and its like a faucet was turned on. I think it can be caused from various illnesses.

Hi,
I am taking humaworm which has Art. in it.
I test neg- for babs but I could be dealing with it, or Parvo virus and some kind of parasite. Viruses and parasites can go together from what I have been reading.
I have been sweating so much I am driping wet at times.
Do you feel better after you sweat? Just curious because I do.

tosho, I took 3 weeks of steroids for a kick start, then dropped those and am now on plaquenil, which is actually an anti-malarial drug used to treat autoimmune disorders.
I have only been on autoimmune treatment for 5 weeks, but this is the best I have felt in 3 years. One full year of Lyme treatment with absolutely no improvment, well except for the 2 months I was on Malarone, also an anti-malarial drug.
We have not completely ruled out LD, but my LLMD is really leaning toward an autoimmune disorder. I am too now, since I feel about 50% better in a matter of 5 weeks.

Sutherngirl wouldn't your improvement on anti-malarials indicate some sort of parasitical infection?

I have this too....wow!! I thought I was the only one. Im not on antimalarials but get this on and off.

I get the underarm sweating thing too. I thought I was the only one!! Hard to know if it is Lyme, or another co-infection (including virus). But one thing for sure, my "inner trembling" is going down a bit with treatment.
Posted by sutherngrl (Member # 16270) on :
CD57, yes possibly or it could go back to an autoimmune issue which also improves on anti-malarials.
One theory is that the Lyme is gone but not the babesia.
The other theory is a possible autoimmune disorder. This seems most likely at this point, considering my genetics and how this illness was triggered.
I just want to get well, whatever it takes!

Hi Sutherngrl,
I am wondering if you have had Babs, treatment?
Hugs

i have this too! very frustrating. don't know what causes it, but i assume it's wonky hormones and/or babs.
Posted by daniel (Member # 22201) on :
I have that too, treated babs for 8 mos, now started bartonella treatment with doxy and levaquin, Plus arte and am sweating again

I get crazy armpit sweating when I am on abx. No abx, no armpit sweating, even when I am having flares of other symptoms.
For me, it seemed related to abx treatment.

I think this has been a babesia symptom for me. Usually I am sweating (armpits) and cold at the same time.
