Can someone please explain about sweats and chills.? About every 2 weeks I get sweats in the night (not sure these are "nightsweats" because I wake up as my body is perspiring, so I never really become drenched), then I get chills. It can go one like this through out the night. I am being treated for babs with Malarone, Bart with Lev, and Omniceff for Lyme. Is the sweating part of a herx from one of these bugs dieing off.

Thanks

Sounds like a herx to me.

Yes you are getting to them. Sometimes it is drenching. Keep lots of electrolytes going in.

I get these -- I got them from herxing, and also simply from being very symptomatic when not being treated. Terrible things.

This is one of the many reasons I was diagnosed as being "in menopause" rather than having lyme... beginning at age 20! Doc said "well, menopause comes early for some women..." Sigh...

Could be a herx, but it sounds like Babesia to me... I get this all the time.
