Hi all,

I recently realized that I have been having feeling really warm most evenings for the last month or two, while on treatment for lyme.

I tested negative for bart/babs but I realize that these can be inaccurate. My LLMD didn't think my symptoms were really screaming "coinfections" but that we should treat for lyme and then see if some symptoms more indicative of one of these remained.

I vaguely remember something like night sweats or hot flashes (again, these are happening to me at night) as being symptomatic of one of the coinfections, but I don't remember which one. Any ideas?

I don't think it's menopause -- I'm only 35!

Thx
Kim

According to Dr B's paper below, light sweats may be noted with bartonella and obvious sweats usually at night but can be day sweats, are associated with babesia....

see pages 22-27

You may also have hormone imbalances form lyme damage that can couse night sweats.
