Almost literally. I don't sweat a lot. To some
this may not be bad thing, but it's hard for me
to cool off and as far as detoxing goes...Any
suggestions? I've told my husband many times
that my body regulator is outta whack. I used
to get night sweats years ago and had one just
the other night.
I do have normal days and months where
everything works like it should, but it is
noticeable enough for me to mention. Is not
sweating a Lyme symptom?

I think others have had this symptom, as a matter of fact, I know they do. My friend Raymond who is a lymenet member cannot sweat either.

I used to have this problem. Didn't sweat for years. Mepron seemed to make a huge difference for me and now I sweat.
My sister had the same problem with lack of sweating. Tindamax made a difference for her and now she sweats.
I read a paper written by an LLMD and he mentioned lack of sweating as a lyme symptom.
It is hard to control body temperature if you can't sweat.
Some people have said that using a FIR sauna has helped them to sweat again. I was always afraid of a sauna *because* I couldn't sweat. I thought I might spontaneously combust because there would be no way to control my body temperature. LOL
I think it is a terrible symptom although it has been quite an adjustment to get used to sweating again. Even minor sweating feels yucky because I'm not used to it. That said, I'm grateful to be able to sweat again.
I can also tolerate normal room temperatures which I attribute in part to better body temperature control due to sweating.
Hang in there. You will be able to sweat again with the right treatment. Terry

this is probably associated with dry mouth and dry eyes also. if so, i have this. it is sjorgren's syndrome secondary to lyme disease. eyes and mouth can be treated eyes with restasis mouth with oral rinses. sweat tough on. i would pass out in the heat in fl because i could not sweat. ems called 3 times.
it went away now after 4 years after being in remission for 2 years.

I've had the 'no sweat' thing going on since my teen years (I'm in my 40's now) also, once I get cold, I can't warm up again.
I passed out a number of times as a teen from not sweating, and subsequently overheating. Dehydrahtion seemed to play a role in this as well. So as an adult I always carry a beverage with me, and I've been able to avoid overheating for a number of years.
So I can totally understand your desire to sweat!! Unfortunately, outside of advice to stay well hydrated, I can't offer you any solutions to this.
