Does anyone experience frequent daytime sweating episodes? Not at nightime.
I mean, it just overcomes you suddenly and you feel very hot, with hair drenching with bullets of sweat, forhead, and back of neck.
I have been treated with Malarone for past 2 months. What I have read on this site is it should be better after treatment for Babs.
I did not have this sweating before I started treatment for LYME or Babs.
I am having these all the time.
What does this indicate? Can anyone relate?
Thanks in advance..

I sweat whenever I am exposed to an increase in EMR (cell phones, cell phone towers, fluorescent lights, this computer, my car's engine, even sunlight now). I test positive for Lyme and babesia, and I'm taking artemisinin.

Yes, stinky smelly moist foul pungent-- that's me! I have to bathe twice a day. My mom pours talcum powder down my pants and shirt. I'm 26 years old.
I hate sweating! It's like my body can't regulate its own internal temperature. When I go from indoors to outdoors, and vis versa, it especially acts up.
If your in a warm enough climate, I'd suggest wearing light clothes like linen or plain cotten. I wore a tight-fitting wool turtleneck sweater the other day due to the freezing weather, but it was a terrible fashion choice. Beads were dripping of my forehead, my shoes slipping off from the sweat!
It helps me to talk long hot baths-- just let it out!-- then go to bed after drying off carefully.
I asked Dr. S about this yesterday-- he said no worries. I'm 10 weeks into Babs treatment w/ Mepron and he said he rarely sees recovery until 4 months of Mepron are finished.
Good luck. Dont forget to drink a ton! Stay dry Posts: 390 | From Oakland, CA | Registered: May 2007

I have this and it is one of the worst symptoms. Every afternoon at around 4-5 I woudl get a fever and then sweat profusely.
it got better when I started the antibiotics. now it is starting up again. but not as bad as it was.
it gets worse when I eat hot food

I get flashes of heat during the day only. But I never sweat with this. All of a sudden it's like someone light a fire from the inside of me.
It will last from 5-30 minutes. Doesn't happen every day. I might have one, two or more a day. They even seem to disappear for a week or two.
I do feel feverish. But feverish for me is 98.6. I typically am 97 range.
These have been happening since 99. I was 42 then and I don't have any signs of it being female related.

I would sweat at the least little excertion like going up 3 steps. But after mepron and biaxin xl, then bactrim and then minocin and tindamax,rifampin.
I dont sweat like that anymore and I dont gasp for air like before, this part of the treatment has lasted up till now 1 year.
Biggest change And after starting the b-12 shots I feel great pain down to around a 1 from a 8 to 9 level.
ps Iam very overwieght now but I have always been very active always.Maybe that will change now.

Babs treatment actually made mine worse, though I did have it before. I assume mine will get better once the Babs is "gone." But the treatment made me so sick that I had to take a break from it... and the sweat didn't stop when the treatment did.
I used to try and fight the sweat by using Drysol (Rx). I no longer recommend it. I now use Kiehls deodorant, with orange and linseed oil, and it at least keeps my underarms dry (takes a bit for your body to adjust to the natural approach, however).
The body sweating is just impossible, I can't even get my PICC dressing to stay on for two days because of all the sweat... so if anyone knows how to stop sweating under a dressing, I'd be curious about that myself! Posts: 54 | From Virginia | Registered: Jan 2008

According to your responsed, it appears to be due to the presence of bacteria.
I can be very still, not exerting, and all of a sudden it starts. I was in church for a funeral the other day, and the sweats began;
you should have seen me trying to get control over it without anyone knowing what was going on....all I wanted to do was tear off my clothes right then and there and run out of there naked and all.
I felt like I was going to blow up into flames at any time. It felt like hours, sitting there trying to gain control, but was of course only minutes before it slowly abated.
Of course my hair was "not going on" anymore and I looked like someone poured a bucket of water on the top of my head!
If I do attempt to exert myself or get anxious, it always comes on. I don't know if I can take a hot bath during these episodes!
It's so good to know I'm not alone.
Thank you,
Lisa
