I have periods of night sweats that began in 2000. I had it only a few nights a year then, but last year had severe fatigue, tachycardia, panic attacks and night sweats every evening. I also developed an itchy rash over my liver area. I noticed areas that would break out on my chest and looked like something was coming through my skin. My skin is usually clear, so I thought this was strange.

I went through this summer with the fatigue and flu-symptoms on and off, but did not have too many sweats or rashes.

Now winter is back and so are the night sweats. They wake me up and are mostly in the chest area, but also below the waist. All Lyme tests were neg. Ignenex IGM was equivocal. All MDL co-infection tests were negative.

The only thing positive on and off the last year or so was Mycoplasma Pneumonia, CMV and HHV-6. I am treating this with Transfer Factor which has marginally helped.

I went to see Dr. Dhonden in N.Y two weeks ago and he told me it was not Lyme, but was something called "Hidden Fever" and could be cured with 6 months of his herbs. He see's Lyme patients and generally recommends abx and herbs. I asked about this and he said the herbs would do if I had not yet started the abx.

I am going to try his herbs for 6 mos, but wonder what you all think of the rash over the liver and the itchy skin and sweats. I don't notice any fever.

Is this Babs? It could be considered hidden fever because it is a parasite.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Chris

Thanks Trout. Anyone else?

I had cats for many years and was constantly being scratched and bitten. Also adopted one from under the house that was flea infested.

My night sweats were so horrible, that several times my husband would have to help me during the middle of the night with changine bed clothes and sheets.

My night sweats are definitely tied to harmones and if I miss a dose, I will definitely have the night sweats coming back...that happened the other night actually.

I suggest you going to
www.salivatest.com

and when you are filled with the knowledge, then try and get you doc to order the test kit...you'd be surprised no matter the age or sex, how our harmones get out of whack. my 31 year old daughter is taking harmones for LD or the treatment thereof, has gotten then our-of-whack!!!

Merry Christmas

Get a babs test. I had the exact same things early on -- On saying that, i couldn't handle any of the babs meds except for the herbals. Bless you and good luck
