I've found myself caught up in some mega sickness and it will not ease!
My entire body is drenching sweat yet I'm freezing.
Swear I have a fever but no fever. my hands and feet are like ice.
Can't sleep I'm so sick. I'm sick to my stomach and having diarrhea now.
I've had a sore throat for weeks.
I've been trying to detox. This not bearable.
I just want this to ease up so I can get my bearings some.
Any thoughts or input? Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on any of this.

I am sorry you are feeling so bad. I recently had those very same symptoms minus the sore throat and stomach issues.
You may have already tried it but I have found epsom and peroxide baths to help and activated charcoal.
I am not sure how one would know if they are experiencing a cytokine storm.

Sorry, but this sounds like Babesia to me. (Which tends to mimic malaria symptoms.)
Are you treating with ABX right now? If so, you may have flared a major herx - which, in the long run, would be a good thing.
Epsom salt baths (just warm) are a real good idea. Also drink lots of water with a little fresh lemon juice added. You may even want to try alka seltzer gold, to make your body alkaline and speed the detox.

I am doing the cowden protocol. Should I keep taking the alka seltzer until I get relief?

Talk to your doctor. Your symptoms may be worsening. I found my symptoms worsened on Cowden.

I would try adding agrisept-L (GSE) for babesia to see if it causes any herx or any improvements. Start at 1 or 2 drops and work up slowly.
I am not convinced that the Cowden protcol adequately covers babesia. Do you have any herx symptoms shortly after taking the samento, etc.? That would give an indication that it is doing something for some of your infections. We do a modified version of Cowden which is just samento and cumanda and burbur. That seems to get rid of most of our infections, but we need the Agrisept-L for babesia. The Samento hits lyme best, the Cumanda hits bart best. If Cumanda doesn't work for bart (it does for most, according to our practitioner), then banderol should hit the bart. But you need the Samento too to make it most effective.

Can anyone tell me why I never get a fever? Ill get super freezing cold but also feel very hot. I sweat very bad. During these episodes I lose weight and begin having diarrhea.
Can anyone explain to me why I do not get a fever? My temp actually gets low when I have these episodes. Like 97.7 or so. If my body is trying to fight bacteria then shouldn't I get fever during these attacks?

What kind of thermometer are you using?
I don't think I get correct readings on any I ever buy. Frustrating.
I also wonder about the test for Circulating Immune Complexes. I think that tests reveals something.
I wish there were home test kits for these kinds of things. But I am dreaming......
