I probably already know the answer to this, but does anyone's symptoms get much, much worse with heat? I'm sure I'll get a resounding "YES!", but just wanna be sure.

Yes, heat is a problem for those with orthostatic hypotension and/or fluid retention. I don't know if there are other causes for heat intolerance in lyme but if you have heat intolerance you should check to see if you have orthostatic hypotension. You can be treated for that and it will help you to feel better. Not to say that you won't still be heat intolerant, just not as bad. Terry

Yes! My symptoms get worse with heat and the sun.
The Winter is my favorite time of year.
