It is not night sweats as I don't sweat but I wake up in the middle of the night, sometimes as soon as I am falling asleep and I feel like my body temperature is way out of wack.
I am so hot that I feel like I am going to burst. Nothing cools me down but time.
It wakes me up, or maybe I wake up first and then I am wide awake for over an hour until my body finally cools down.
I am also ravenously hungry when this happens and I get a severe headache that lasts until mid morning.
I have taken my temperature during these "spells" and it us usually 97.0.
When I do wake up in the morning I am always hot, hot, hot for a couple of hours. No sweating.
My body temperature is usually up to 98.7 by mid morning.
I do have hypoglycemia and since getting lyme my sugar levels are all off and also my adrenal glands are fatigued.
I take 5HTP and cortisol manager at night which has helped some.
I am still being treated for lyme and co-infections by a LLMD (6 years now) and I am much better.
Just these symptoms are really worrying me.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

You may need your Female/Male hormones checked.
Many of us are low in many hormones and replacement with what is lacking could help.
Sounds like menopause but could also be testosterone low.

I've been getting hotflashes like this but they're pretty short--5-10 minutes. I almost always wake up at 4 a.m. with it and a super ick feeling. My measured temperature is also normal or a little low when it happens.
It's a little too soon for me for menopause and it's only started up since about a month ago--since starting a new abx regimen. Is your period irregular? Mine couldn't keep a schedule with a Swiss watch!
Could it be something other than hormones, I wonder?
