Guest guest Posted March 28, 2000 Report Share Posted March 28, 2000 Joan, I have " just " LD and only experienced the night sweats early in my treatment. I still have them occasionally, but very far and few between. Wonder what's going on with you Marta?! A hormonal thing maybe? Or maybe you do have Babesia or Erlichiosis. I think I read its more common for Babesia. But any amount of things can change your hormonal levels, meds, thyroid problems, (maybe even, yeast overgrowth) etc. Maybe you should have it checked out.

You should start treatment of babesia right away (Artemesia, for instance) ALONG with antibiotics. It is separate from lyme but you take your abx PLUS Artemesia.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2001 Report Share Posted August 7, 2001 Hi Deb & everyone... Mepron just tastes awful & after a while you just get so tired of swallowing it along with all the pills. I was taking Dynabac (1000 mgs) at the same time for the Lyme & then the Dr. added Bactrim DS (2 a day) to it, feeling it works well with the mepron too for the babesia. I had been untreated for babesia for 10 years or so...herxing is going to happen; at least it means the meds are working. Everyone responds differently to all the medications so no one should get skeptical about trying something new. And these diseases untreated cause bigger longer lasting problems. I work for my LLMD so I see this everyday...with new patients coming in, old patients that are noncompliant, etc. Yes, pain meds are important but yet there is a reluctance to prescribe them. The medical board & even the pharmaceutical board keeps track of everything & especially once a Dr. has been targeted for treating Lyme, almost everything he does is scrutinized. So a pain management center is the answer for many...sometimes those meds & alternative therapy are the only way to make it through the day.

I feel so lousy now, and I'm only on oral Doxy and Amoxicillin! Thank God for hydrocodone and Baclofen, Parafon Forte, Zanaflex......... To all my fellow lymies without a Pain Mgt. doc on their team......I can't tell you how much a difference it has made in my quality of life - which still basically sucks, but would be unimaginable without this support. None of us should suffer horribly when there are medications available to alleviate/palliate symptoms. Besides the meds, I have recvd a muscle stimulator for essetially FREE, a Rx for 8 weeks of Aqua Therapy with a 1:1 PT who is including traction (to stretch the cervical vertebrae apart), deep-tissue work to facilitate elimination of the hundred or so KNOTS in my neck and back that have developed in the past couple of years, psychological support, etc. It hurts my heart to hear your stories of unnecessary suffering, as well as those stories of docs getting nervous about prescribing pain meds.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 My grandfather, mother and myself all suffered from night sweats. I know now it is a symptom of anaemia (this in turn can affect the hormones -- it's a chain when the basics go haywire). I have been diverted into various damaging medical treatments to treat symptoms of what is basically an anaemia. Sweating is a sign of debility. Also doctors often lie about haemoglobin levels, often saying blood tests are " ok " when they are not.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 I use the 24 hour clock as my indicater of what might be out of balance. 3-5 am is the energy time of the lung by traditional chinese medicine. 5-7 is the large intestine and they are actually a yin and yang pair. 11pm-1am is gall bladder 1-3am is the liver. The internal branch of the lung meridian is not shown in most charts go through the stomach and the transvers part of the large intestine. Emotion of/in the liver: resentment, rage, anger, wrath, unhappiness, hapiness, contentment, transformation, distress. The lungs: false pride, regret,contempt, tolarence/ intolerance, cheerful, depressed, humility-modesty etc. So not just the yin - yang are connected but all others as well. The tripple warmer which helps feed the hormon system is charged from 9-11 pm. Internal branch disorders of the lung: to list a few, diaphram disorders associated disorders of the large intestine ie: diarrhoea, verticulitis, colic, constipation, colitis and some of the stomach.+ the evident asthma, chest tightness, coughing etc. outer branch: shoulder pain, pain in supraclavicular fossa, stiff forearm, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist disorders, warts, arthritis in the tumb to name a few. Cleaning the large intestine, breating deep or even going to breath class (sound funny learning to take a breath?) but the results are profound. Educate yourself what you will learn will make you the master of your health and happiness that you really are. I had beed proded poked tryed all to be well, by the time I was 17 I have decided NO MORE. I took charge educated myself, tryed and experimented. Eventually I clued in that all of me my mental state, my emotions, spiritual expention or contraction, all have their effect on my physical body. From then on I can take this as a journey and knowing and discovering myself through the wisdom of the body is great, & fun. Now I would not trade the challenges that came my way for anything. I had become aware of truths that are priceless. Happy discoveries.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Again, I would strongly suggest thinking about anaemia. I found that I was getting spots and itching is also a classic sign of anaemia. Any debility caused by anaemia would naturally lead to other signs such as fungal infections. I do agree about tea tree oil. It is a very good general antiseptic and anti-fungal. However I am finding my nail fungus is clearing up now without the use of tree oil, just because my iron levels are now going up. This is also helping my stomach problems. It's just so basic. But a mass of medical specialities make money out of people not knowing about this.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I was wondering the same how old are you. Night sweats are a typical menopausal condition and are normal. I am breezing through the change but I do get them occasionally and I got these way before I ever got a hot flash. I take nothing other then my BP med and my synthroid. RE: Night Sweats Menopause? How old are you? I had those sweats until I used estradiol. Val in Boulder, CO -----Original Message----- From: art_muse [mailto:art_muse@...] Once I separated those two meds by 12 hours, my symptoms, including night sweats, went away. Since then, nothing has changed either in my meds or my routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 I began taking T3, then sublingual progesterone about a week later. Aparently, the progesterone helped my night sweats. I'd wake up with a low basal temp, but around 3-4am I'd be dying of heat, sweating like crazy, hot as heck. I was told they're just night time hot flashes. Since taking the progesterone---and the T3, I've not had any episodes (knock on wood). ) Ella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
