I am literally sweating buckets everyday- it's something I can't control. It's only 60 degrees in the AM and I need a fan in my bathroom while I do my hair since I can't stop sweating. I already took a month's worth of Artesimin and I'm way past menopausal- already on hormones and I'm not sweaty at night at the moment.I'm just really worried since temperatures can hit the high 90's pretty soon and I don't know how I'm going to make it through the summer!
I'm not on any antibiotics but the liver enzymes are still high.

Went searching "liver enzymes high sweat" and found... ------------------------------------------------ Sweating (High Liver Enzymes)
Sweating is powerful way to cleanse your body from accumulated toxins. examples: - exercise with a lot of clothes - Sauna - drink warm tea in a hot room ... - eat CAYENNE pepper! ...
It is known that some modern industrial toxins and pesticides can leave your body only through sweat glands! ------------------------------------------------
The liver is the major detoxification center of the body.
It acts as an ``in-line'' filter for the removal of foreign substances and wastes from the blood.
Toxins that are cleared by the liver include alcohol, solvents, formaldehyde, pesticides, herbicides and food additives.
Despite varying chemical toxicity, the liver has the function of reducing toxins into compounds that the body can safely handle and remove through the kidneys (as urine), skin (as sweat), lungs (as expelled air) and bowels (as feces).
Optimal liver function is therefore essential for good health. ------------------------------------------------
So it would appear that the liver enzymes and the sweat are connected. Your doc might have some info regarding that.

I had cold, drenching sweats and they had nothing at all to do with liver enzymes. I had to stuff a towel down the back of my shirt. I had to keep my office temp at 50 all winter long. I was dreadfully ill with these. Years went by, they subsided thank heavens, but now I find indeed I was infected with Babesia.

I had excessive sweating that has finally started to respond to Babs treatment It was one of the symptoms that made my LLMD think Babs in the first place. That and the little pink dots on my torso.
I didn't relaize how terrible it was until it got better. I would test for Babs.

Livit 1 and Livit 2 from Ayush does nicely for liver.
Better are colonics - at least three with a few days in between, then 4 and 5 followed weekly thereafter. Then at least once a month if detoxing/releasing toxins via abx and other agents.
Nothing works well if the liver is stressed because of a toxic colon.
Take care
No, am not a doctor, just know that this works and brings great improvement.

Artemisinin by itself is not a treatment for babesia. You take it with other medications. It temporarily lowers the amount of bacteria in the bloodstream. When used to treat malaria, it is combined with another, slower acting drug. The two together deliver a one-two punch to plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest and most fast-acting form of malaria. When people are treating plasmodium ovale or plasmodium vivax, the relapsing forms of malaria, they also take primaquine to get rid of a dormant form of the disease which hides in the liver and evades ALL bloodstream drugs. Those include artemisinin, quinine, mepron, malarone, chloroquine, doxycycline, lariam, etc.
There's a million threads on Lymenet arguing about which medications people should actually take, and while it's a lot to sort through, take heart that you have many more choices now than even six months ago.
Elevated liver enzymes can be a symptom of both babesia and bartonella.

Magnesium is important for temperature regulation, so a magnesium deficiency may provide a logical explanation for features such as a excessive sweating or a sweaty head, which is found in both rickets and connective tissue disorders.
Researched Supplement Range: Not needed Average Daily Intake: 5 g Notes: never above 45 mg per day, interferes with riboflavin and phosphorus uptake Sodium is one of the three main electrolytes in the body. Without electrolytes, the body would completely stop working. Daily consumption of salty foods provides more than enough dietary intake.
Body Components and Functions -- Blood, lymph system, stomach, muscles, and nerves. Normalizes glandular secretions.
And... Excretion of zinc is mainly via the feces but some is lost in the urine. Excessive sweating can cause losses of up to 3 mg per day. Zinc is not well stored in the body and a reduction in dietary intake leads to deficiency fairly quickly.
(My note: T3 produced by the thyroid ***breaks down cholesterol*** into progesterone and bile salts. Your body is trying to help. Bb needs our zinc...it is part of the ``endotoxin'' in Bb's outer cell wall. Problem is, we need Zn too...real important to maintain our thymus gland)
Mg deficiency, Na deficiency, overactive thyroid trying to get rid of Zinc...all play a part.
Two different sets of nerves supply these many glands: the sympathetic nerves, which tend to increase sweating when one is excited, nervous, or afraid (the "fight or flight response"), and the parasympathetic nerves, which tend to decrease sweating of the skin.
At the ends of these nerves, the body releases special chemicals called neurotransmitters, which carry the electrical signal from the nerves onto the cells near the nerve endings. For the sweat glands, the chemical at the tips of the sympathetic nerves is acetylcholine; too much of this chemical present next to the sweat glands stimulates them to produce large amounts of fluid.
Many doctors feel that one of the biggest problems in people with idiopathic hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating due to unknown cause) is the fact that the sympathetic nerves are over stimulated, making the neurotransmitters "go haywire" at the nerve endings. Many activities that stimulate the nervous system, such as strong smells, spicy foods, increased air temperatures, exercise, high emotional excitement, stress or nervousness may cause attacks of excessive sweating through sympathetic nerve over activity.
Causes For some people, there may be no detectable cause for their excessive sweating, and they may be considered to have a medical condition known as essential (idiopathic or primary) hyperhidrosis. This may be due to over activity of the nerves that send signals to the sweat glands in the skin, the sympathetic nervous system. Sometimes this idiopathic form of hyperhidrosis can be genetically transmitted, and it often runs in families; this form may first show up in early childhood.
Other people may have sweating as a symptom of known medical conditions, such as: � an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) � gout � rheumatoid arthritis � tuberculosis � lymphoma � hypoglycemia � parasites � metabolic dysfunction � nerve damage due to diabetes (autonomic dysfunction) or spinal cord injuries � liver disease � vitiligo � psychiatric disorders such as stress, panic attacks or anxiety disorders � hot flashes associated with menopause Risk factors for Excessive Sweating:
