Feels like I'm burning up

OK...so this is a nightmare. Since I started meds two weeks ago today, I get this weird, scary symptom. I feel like I'm burning up, but if I take my temp, it's never over 98.8??? I actually feel like I have the flu or something. And it happens once or twice most times. Anyone else experience this after starting meds?

I did order some Burbur detox, but haven't gotten it yet. Could this be a herx??? It's scary...

I have had this symptom for at least 5 years, so for me it is just part of Lyme&Co. It started before I even knew anything about Lyme.

Currently, the bottom half of my body feels like i am standing in a fire and the top like its in a freezer. My skin is also hot to the touch. I am taking the burbur and have been for while and that symptom hasn't changed. But people have different experiences.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you but you aren't the only person on the forum that experience that. Besides me there are a few others but we are definitely in the minority.

I hope you have a better day.

I'm going through periods where I'm burning up (like I'm in a furnace) and then I'm freezing. Also having air hunger, so odds are its babesia.

Yup, I have that hot furnace feeling. Sweater off, slippers off, socks off. Then chilled. Sweater back on, slippers back on.

Some of it I blamed on menopause (don't know if this could apply to you) and black cohosh has helped about 80%. Now it only happens between 11pm and about 3am and that's it. So weird.

Would you hate me, if I were to tell you that all I can think about when I see your name is honking cars with pepperonis as headlights? They're alive too, like that Cars movie, you know?

In my defense, I am very hungry, even when I'm not.

As for the symptoms, well, I've had these multiple times throughout this.

Sometimes, it was the Lyme/co, and eventually got replaced by other symptoms.

Then, it was the Lyme/co, which needed treatment to be resolved.

Then, I experienced it, seemed different, so I questioned thyroid/adrenal. Still not sure about that one. I can't afford the GOOD good tests yet, just the ones my PCP was willing to give me, which suck.

Speaking of which, are you seeing an Lyme literate doctor, or a specialist of some sort, someone who gives the proper tests for those things? The t3, t4, TSH, all the stuff I know absolutely nothing about? lol

I apologize for not knowing your story - I see you've made a few posts. Forgive, if I am covering old ground. Pay no mind.

Oh.. I also get these things from chemical sensitivities sometimes, but I doubt that'd be your problem. You'd know, I feel like.

Well, here it goes: my story - then tell me if you think it's Lyme...

Summer 2013: outside working in yard when I got this weird head rush, nausea, dizziness thing. Went to ER, they said slight dehydration, but nothing else. Had this happen a few more times.

Late September 2013: started having really bad GI issues (severe diarrhea, gurgle gut, weight loss, etc). Head rush instances happening more often.

Was referred to a Gastrologist. Had endoscope, Hida scan, barium swallow - all normal.

All of 2014: head and GI issues continue. New symptoms emerge as year goes on (nerve pain in hips, frequent sinus infections, joints popping/stiffness, fatigue, numbing in fingers, hot flashes, palpitations, night sweats, muscle spasms, headaches, etc)

Feb 2015: suffered worse cold I've ever had. Started to hypersalivate. Air hunger kicked in. Referred to (and still seeing) pulmonologist, cardiologist, disease specialist, Neurologist, Allergist, and ENT.

As of May 2015: diagnosed with chronic allergies, chronic sinusitis, Asthma, bi-lateral Carpal Tunnel, migrains, and mycarditis. Oh, and had my gallbladder removed.

Prior to this (other than being a smoker), I was healthy and active...now, can't do anything. The symptoms are so bad, and frequent.

Was given steroids for the last two years for all the symptoms. I'm a mess. Tested for Lyme (my suggestion) recently thru Quest. Negative for all, except IGG bands 41 and 66. All current Dr's say NO LYME cause test was negative.

Started seeing Dr on 18th of Jan. who treats Lyme. He said unsure if this is what I have, but is treating me with Amoxicillin 4000 mg daily. No mention of any other testing? I don't think he's ILADS trained.

Anyway, sorry about the ramble...I'm just sick of being sick, and answers would be nice. But after everything I've read on Lyme, it definitely sounds like a contender of my illness.

The hot/chills/ air hunger suggests babesia. I've gone from burning up and sweating to huddled under 10 blankets and still shivering. Babesia treatment helps things get better. I'm better than I was, but still have some way to go.

I'm using Buhner's herbs, though there are medications too.
