Hi, today is my one year anniversary of treatment. Somethings are better and some have not improved at all.

Anyway, I started having two new symptoms and and I can't seem to find anything written about it. I started getting goosebumps on and off all day and even when taking a warm bath or sauna. Then at times it will feel like I'm burning on the inside without a fever. In fact most of the time it's below 96 degrees.

Does anyone else get this? Is it a new coinfection raising it's ugly head? I tested positive for lyme but my LLMD doesn't test for co infections since there are so many strains.

Any opinions appreciated. smhair

Temperature irregularities are very common with lyme disease.

The list of symptoms of lyme is horrendous!!

Lyme and the co-infections symptoms can overlap. You may not know which is which.

This is a short - very short - list of symptoms

Laker - I get shivers...and intermittent sweating.

I'm trying to figure out if it's Babesia (chills/sweating) ...or part of my CNS symptoms - which could also be Lyme...or Bart.

Thanks PeteZa and Girlie, Since I have so much time alone my thoughts seem to wander to places that make things seem so much worse.

The worst part about this round of symptoms is that I can't seem to find anything that offers relief, in spite of all the detoxing. But I will try to look at this as one more layer that is being peeled away.

Thank you for your quick responses, it really made me feel so much better.

Have a wonderful day,
Amy

My shivers/sweating - I'm having difficulty seeing any patterns - re: treatment, detoxing, etc.

I do know that my shivers are worse than they were a year ago.
i started bart treatment a year ago.

So - are they worse because I stirred up Bart...but haven't beat it down yet?

or...are they worse because now that Bart has been treated...maybe Babesia has come to the forefront?

Frequently. Once I get the goosebumps/hairs standing on end, I know it's time to intervene or I may collapse.

Depending on the ambient temperature when this happens, I either go to the kitchen sink and run cold or warm water over my pulse points in my wrists for about 5 minutes. Usually cold if the weather is hot and I'm sweaty, or warm if it's cold and I'm chilled.


I should have added that this usually resets my internal thermostat. If there is such a thing.

Anyway, I feel much better afterwards.

I used to get goosebumps in the bathtub in super hot water until I got rid of the Bart.

I totally get the chills & sweats. It is pretty new for me since my last UVLrx... in previous times I had horrible night sweats. Those are gone. Now it's the internal burning up one day/minute and horrible feverish chills the next day/minute. In the last week, definitely way more chills then burning...

i have no idea what's causing it... I have tested negative for all co-infections but mycoplasma... but just using regular blood tests for IGG/IGM, etc.

3HumpedCamel - you mentioned you've tested negative for all co-infections but myco.

You do realize that won't mean much...you could likely have bart or babs...or both?

@Girlie - yeah. I've spent way more time out here lately, and thank god for all of you by the way. I feel so normal out here... finally!

I've started to realize after feeling great for 9 months last year and then getting slapped back to reality this year that I am most likely fighting more than 1 co-infection. So, I ordered Buhner's myco/bart book and his 2nd edition Lyme book. Co-infectino book came last week. Lyme book is on the way. it's really an eye opener and while to technical for me on many levels, makes all kinds of sense. I can understand enough to make me go wow, this sounds like me!!

3HumpedCamel, my LLMD doesn't even test for co infections since there are so many strains and the tests only target a few. He treats the symptoms. But i agree with you, this group has been a godsend.
