Parasites can cause those symptoms. I used to have really bad night sweats before I treated for them. Have you considered this?

Babesia caused an INSANE amount of sweating for me.
But you feel great - so i'd say babs might not be likely.
I wish i felt great, be thankful!!!

You can be asymptomatic with babesia. I did not think I had it until it became full blown. Sweating is one of the most common symptoms. Do you feel hot at the same time?

I'm the same way...like you, I even sweat when I'm cold!
I can be frozen, hop in a boiling hot tub, and finally feel some relief from the cold, but when the water temperature begins to drop to lukewarm, I only then begin to sweat.
I can take a nice hot shower, and when I get out and should in all actuality be freezing and shivering, that's when I'll start to sweat.
I sweat other times as well, unrelated to temperature, throughout the day and night.
I forget which part of the brain it is that senses temperature changes, but that's what I think is causing this symptom in me...a 'misread' by my brain or overreaction to a slight increase (or perceived increase) in body temperature, causing my body to frantically attempt to cool itself from what it believes to be boiling.
A severe cold spell will often precede and follow these sweat attacks, too. And it ALWAYS seems to include my chest, neck, base of my skull, and armpits. I even dread taking a shower now because I feel gross 30 seconds after I step out of it...
I'm positive for Lyme, bart, babs...not sure which bug causes it, though I had some relief from the sweats on Ceftin...so possibly Lyme?

Babesia, a protozoan blood-borne parasite of red blood cells, can cause many of the symptoms posted here:
- Profuse sweating from head, neck, chest area - sweat like a pig just walking around, even when cold out - soaked shirt in 10 minutes - night sweats - an INSANE amount of sweating - did not think I had it until it became full blown - even sweat when I'm cold!
elizzza811, your post shows babesiosis symptoms.
Jay, I have "dry mouth" and excessive thirst (but am not diabetic).
Babesia is often difficult to detect because ducks are oblivious. IDSA-types ignore the bulk of scientific info on Babesia.
Our top ILADS-active LLMDs recognize the tell-tale signs and provide individualized therapeutic protocols. They know, just as Dr. K and Stephen H. Buhner, PhD write, that Babesia combined with Lyme Bb causes a tougher dis-ease state. To achieve long-term remission, Babesia must be controlled. If you don't control Babesia and any yeast overgrowth, you won't be able to eradicate Bartonella or Borrelia. These pathogens are synergistic.
If you've been in treatment for CLD several years without significant clearing of TBI dis-ease symptoms, then you may wish to seek a different ILADS-active LLMD who will help heal your babesiosis.
I urge you to become more familiar with Babesia spp. The epidemic is huge and growing.

I do not have any tickborne diseases. But I do have hypoglycemia -- especially when I eat too many carbs or too much sugar. The main symptom for me is sweating -- usually within 30 minutes of eating. For some unknown reason it is mostly my face and the backs of my legs from the knees down.
So the sweating could be related to diabetes if your blood sugar is fluctuating too much I think.
I do have one list of babs symptoms that does list thirst/polydipsia as a babesia symptom.

Hi All-
I know ALL about Babs-- fought it for many years--
Now I have been perty much Babs symptom free except except for the sweating like a pig--
I did some research and did not find anything that matched this symptoms exactly-
I did find some things that it might be tho--
Problem with Thyroid - maybe Graves disease- Diabetes --
Hyperhidrosis is a disease that sweating more than a normal than a healthy person-
But the kind of sweating this causes is no where close to how I sweat--
There is also Sleep Hyperhidrosis is were a person sweats at night --
The 2 remedies that are listed is Antiperspirant or injections of Botox -
I think I will Pass on the Botox injections -- Jay--

I just read the book "Amalgam Illness" by Andrew Cutler. Here is an excerpt:
quote:Mercury also interferes with the body's ability to regulate temperature. Victims may alternate between being hot and cold when the temperature isn't changing, or have to wear more clothes than other people, or have more difficulty than other people in staying comfortable while the temperature changes. Temperature disregulation also leads to 'night sweats'
There is also profuse sweating in most individuals, who then generally have moist skin. Some individuals (most often females) do not sweat much, or at all. In these people sweating will not be induced appropriately by heat or exercise.
Later, in another section called "What mercury poisoning does to you" he states:
quote:Autonomic nervous system - inappropriate sweating or lack of sweating, cold hands and feet with eventual tingling pain and numbness due to blood vessel spasms leading to Raynaud's phenomenon, heart racing, etc.
