I have found that my sweat glands under my arm pits run like taps when I take Artemisia.
Does anyone have this?? and do you link it to Babesia in any way??
Its really odd. Nowhere else sweats in the day time just arm pits.

It can also be related to Lyme; because lyme messes "everything" in your body up.
Also now that I am exploring autoimmune issues rather than LD, I am finding that the treatment for that is helping with the arm pit sweats.
This has been a symptom of mine ever since I became ill with LD and or autoimmune disorder. It always happens during the day and it comes out of nowhere and its like a faucet was turned on. I think it can be caused from various illnesses.

Hi,
I am taking humaworm which has Art. in it.
I test neg- for babs but I could be dealing with it, or Parvo virus and some kind of parasite. Viruses and parasites can go together from what I have been reading.
I have been sweating so much I am driping wet at times.
Do you feel better after you sweat? Just curious because I do.

tosho, I took 3 weeks of steroids for a kick start, then dropped those and am now on plaquenil, which is actually an anti-malarial drug used to treat autoimmune disorders.
I have only been on autoimmune treatment for 5 weeks, but this is the best I have felt in 3 years. One full year of Lyme treatment with absolutely no improvment, well except for the 2 months I was on Malarone, also an anti-malarial drug.
We have not completely ruled out LD, but my LLMD is really leaning toward an autoimmune disorder. I am too now, since I feel about 50% better in a matter of 5 weeks.

Sutherngirl wouldn't your improvement on anti-malarials indicate some sort of parasitical infection?

I get the underarm sweating thing too. I thought I was the only one!! Hard to know if it is Lyme, or another co-infection (including virus). But one thing for sure, my "inner trembling" is going down a bit with treatment.

CD57, yes possibly or it could go back to an autoimmune issue which also improves on anti-malarials.
One theory is that the Lyme is gone but not the babesia.
The other theory is a possible autoimmune disorder. This seems most likely at this point, considering my genetics and how this illness was triggered.
I just want to get well, whatever it takes!
