Anyone ever wake up at night with a 95ish temp feeling weird and detached? I constantly run from 96.5 to 97 and on occasion when I'm asleep it will drop with these results. Sucks big time. Basically my question is what causes this and is there a way to prevent it?

I know that Lyme will drop your body temp. I run in the same temp range as you do when I take my morning temp.

For me I will wake up really hot in the middle of the night, but I've never taken my temperature when that happens.

I do get the detached feeling often, I hate it. years ago I spent years in therapy because I thought it was psychological. Now I'm just learning to deal with it, but it always freaks me out a bit. I feel like I'm watching myself but not actually there.

These are all common symptoms of chronic Lyme, unfortunately. Detoxing and staying in treatment are the best bets for resolving them.

Exercise if you can. Raise your body temp any way you can. A lower body temp just makes it easier for them to survive. Hot baths, saunas, exercise, do what you can.

They probably have you in a hypothalamic state.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Yeah this stuff is crazy. When I went to take my temp I was expecting it to be high and saw there low result. I did get up and walk around for a while and it rose back up to 97. Its not even every night its very random.

Also...I'm seeing my neuro tomorrow. Do you think he would do a saliva test for my adrenals? It was scheduled before I got my llmd who pretty much has me figured out but I'll be charged a cancellation fee if I don't go so I figure it can't hurt to get a work up and ask some questions about my temp,twitching, burning,tingling and so on......

I'd ask, on the off chance that he actually might be willing to do it (most regular MD's frown on the saliva cortisol test, but some are more open-minded or forward-thinking than others).

OK I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
