I have extreme night sweats (sweats also occur during day at times) accompanied by internal vibrations. I also have neuropathy & raynaud's in hands and feet. I am taking knotweed, cryptolepis and houttuynia at the moment. Do you think the sweats are a result of the neuropathy? Is it even worth seeing a neurologist? Thanks for your input.

I'm not sure if you'd benefit from seeing a neurologist - unless you want him to either test you...or refer you to someone to test your nerve function by EMG and NCS

I have sweats - day and night and internal vibrations, as well.

I started taking Kudzu and Greater Celandine (nervous system support herbs from Buhner's Bart book)
I also take ALA

...am considering ordering Lion's Mane as well.

Are you taking any support herbs for your nerves?

I don't know if my sweats are from Babesia...or part of my autonomic nervous system dysfunction (pots)
...or both...

White Peony Root, Paeonia lactiflora Chinese name: Bai Shao is a great herb for night sweats.

I don't like doctors that are not familiar with lyme. It has been my experience that it is a waste of my money and time that I could have done my own research and bought some herbs.

Crypto and Houtt are what I call killing herbs. Knot is awesome for inflammation. You probably should add in an immune remodulation herb(s). Remodulation means it will help boost or help lower the system as needed.

Also I would add in an herb to help with the cytokine remodulation.

And add in something to help with collagen protection.

That's my non-llmd recommendations.

Hang in there. I know this raynaud's feeling and I wore gloves a lot.

My night sweats went away, but they were bad for a very long time... and I go thru HERX of hot flashes during the day occasionally, and those seems to last a day or two and then go away. The one symptom right now is profuse over-sweating.... like I clean the house and feel/look like I ran a marathon with the amount of sweat produced. It's amazing and uncomfortable, LoL...

Drenching sweats are usually from Babesia. Have you been evaluated/treated for Babesia?

Quite often, as we lower the bacterial loads from other infections, often the symptoms of infections that haven't been treated yet become more prominent.

I had test for Babs several years ago and it was negative (which doesn't mean much I suppose). I did go through several months of dealing with nightly air hunger which is why I had originally tried Sida but couldn't tolerate the chest tightness and palpitations. Recently switched to Cryptolepis to cover possible babs and houttuynia for bart symptoms.

Thanks for your input and recommendations. Greatly appreciated!

No, unfortunately, negative test results don't mean much with these infections. It's at least something to keep in the back of your mind.
