So today for about 3 hours I kept getting waves of the chills all throughout my body. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. Is this common? I am positive for lyme and LLMD suggest I have bart. On week 5 of

treatment. Ceftin, Rifampin, and pulse flagyl. I do the epsom baths and take probiotics, take NT Detox, drink lemon water, the whole 9 yards.

I get chills. It's like I have the flu. It happens randomly. Sometimes happens often, then eases off and it will be once in a while. Has to be the Lyme.

Do you have the chills, or just the "shivers" part? Do you actually feel cold?

If you don't feel cold, yet keep getting the "shivers" for long periods of time, it could be your thyroid or more likely your adrenals that are suffering badly.

It could also be a thing with the muscles that Lyme seems to create for a few. They are called 'Lyme seizures', although they are not real seizures. Only a few with Lyme actually have "real" seizures.

This is making me think! I have the same basic thing that Tbrown2 is describing - I was attributing it to lyme, but I wonder if it's my thyroid -- esp. after now it's enlarged and my blood test numbers are pointing at hyperthyroidism.

This is a confusing illness -- now I am wondering more about whether the lyme is causing it, or if it's thyroid (or lyme induced thyroid problem). Oy! No wonder there's so much confusion around lyme, it's beyond confusing confused

You are so right about it all being so confusing! That's one of the beauties of having a forum such as this one - a way to help think of things that you might not have on your own. I know it was a life saver (literally) for me!!

I've always believed, and it's how I healed, that if an organ isn't working right, it needs to be supported - no matter what's actually causing it to not perform properly. Having routine testing on those things is always recommended, but even more so when treating Lyme since if it's Lyme induced, it could resolve as treatments continue.
