My temp is running about 96.4, yet I feel hot all the time. Why?
At bed time, as soon as I'm horizontal my body goes thermonuclear.

Lyme is destroyed by heat. It can also affect your thyroid function. If you are feeling hot, it might be caused by a co-infection, like babesia or bart.

NH_Hiker, My temp was 95-96 for well over two years. I think this web-site below may ans. some of you questions.
Some have normal, some have high & saome have low temps.

So, if you come down with a fever it will kill the Lyme? This is so confusing!
LLND said he thinks I have Babesia, Bart and something else I can't remember the name of. But nothing conclusive at the moment. I haven't had any additional blood work yet.
It seems that his office hours and my daily schedule is in constant conflict.

Hypercoagulation. Slow,thick,and low oxygenated blood contributes along with thyroid. Very common.
I used to have nurses get multiple thermometers, not believing someones temp could be 94 or below. I'd just let them do it. You get tired of having to explain.

steve1906 - have you recovered your temperature 98.6? If so (or in that range), what do you think contributed to the rise in your temperature (i.e. supplements, medications, remission, etc.)?
Thank you!

I think it's the thyroid - it regulates body temperature. Have you had your thyroid hormones tested? My TSH was normal and T3 was low, so I went on Armour thyroid and feel much better - more energy, more present.

SLML, One day my temp was 98.2 and has stayed around that range for more than a year now - I have no clue why? I don't do meds.....
I had my thyroid checked a number of times throughout the years, always good!

No, a fever will NOT kill lyme.
One would need to reach cellular temps of 108-113 degrees to kill Lyme.
Cell death and necrotization (sp?)occurs well before lyme begins to die, unfortunately.

Put myself in the microwave? Just kidding:)
My body doesn't seem to work the way the article says. I jump up to 99+ in the afternoon. Then it drops back down in the evening. I never feel like I have a fever though.

The hypothalamus helps control the pituitary gland, particularly in response to stress. The pituitary, in turn, controls the: •Adrenal glands •Ovaries •Testes •Thyroid gland
The hypothalamus also helps regulate: •Body temperature •Childbirth •Emotions •Growth •Milk production •Salt and water balance •Sleep •Weight and appetite
Causes of hypothalamic dysfunction include: •Anorexia •Bleeding •Bulimia •Genetic disorders •Growths (tumors) •Head trauma •Infections and swelling (inflammation) •Malnutrition •Radiation •Surgery •Too much iron

Interestingly enough, I've been able to treat my brain with Lyme treatment. I had exploratory surgery for my pituitary gland and they did not find any tumor. With my various anti-inflam treatments, the super-high prolactin count has dropped steadily.
For this reason, I say find out what's going to treat you!

Low body temp can happen in spite of excellent thyroid numbers if the adrenals are exhausted/burned out...
