Hi All
After spending the last 5 weeks herxing my temp has hit 100 a few times lately--
Im thinking that this is a sign that my immune system is starting to work again- What do you think?
I have both lyme and babs and my usual temp has been from 94 to 96 for several years --
I have been treating both for about 3 yrs-
100 temp a good sign??--Jay--

I know a lyme disease sufferer that is doing about 70% now compared to being totally bed bound and dead. He went through this like you did. He always had low body temp (like most of us) all the sudden he started getting feveres and it was a sign that his body was actually starting to fight!
I would suggest you get on some low dose armour thyroid to bring your normal body temp back up. It helped mine go from 97.3 to 98.6!

I don't agree with Dave here. Lyme makes us have a low body temperature and many viruses do as well. This is because they can thrive and replicate best under these conditions.
When the core body temp goes up, lyme dies as it is not an environment in which it can survive and thrive in. Or it goes into cystic form.
Jay-- since you are taking cordyceps which boost the immune response, your body may be recognizing the lyme and hitting it hard. Like with every infection, when there is a fever, there is an immune response and you are building one up against the lyme.
Most people with chronic lyme have a low body temp and their immune system is not aware of the ketes.
I found the most improvement I had when I was on biaxin was when my whole body was hot like an oven.
I am taking eleuthero which simulates the immune system with herbs and was super hot these past few nights too.
You might wanna try eleuthero--it rocks. and add a cyst buster.

Yes, a temperature normally means there's an infection, but that temperature is there to kill the infection. It's a good thing in my opinion. As long as the fever doesn't get too high, I think it's what a Lyme infested body needs...at least temporarily.

i think this is a great sign.
the left side of my body is much more heavily infected than my right
a few weeks ago i started to get swollen lymps again and left tontulitis.
although it only adds more misery to my suffering, i take it as a good sign that my body is responding to something.
like posted previously, the reason we are SO sick i believe is because it goes undetected in our bodies, and our immune system thinks everything is ok. (if only this were the case)
so for me personally, i cant wait to get a fever;)

I got a HIGH body temp with Lyme that did not leave for 4 years until treatment for Bartonella-
