this is a ps to my post.  i have heard that it may involve the nervous system.  i have found only one thing that helps.  it is controversial, but in wa state it is legal and i have had 2 drs. suggest it.  i am a med marijuana patient.  it stops all these symptoms and i can function some when i use it. i ingest it in pill form.   it saved my life because prior to '07 i had a great deal of trouble eating i was so sick and lost a lot of weight--too much.  it worked for me like those on chemo.  i do not suggest this for anyone, but for me, it being legal, it worked.

ah, the sweats.  i am very familiar with this.  since the early 2000s i began to develop sweats.  then i started to notice a pattern.  since then, every 30 min., 24/7 i have these 'attacks' i call them.  they begin with anxiety, then felt my body start to heat up, then nausea, air hunger, heart racing, sweating until my glasses steam (really) and i was dripping wet, then in between i would get chills. and then i was exhausted.

  it was like clock work, every 30 min.  my body temp. was only normal between the sweats and chills, and chills and sweats.  amounting to only about 10 min. per half hour because the attack would take 10 min. from start to finish and then the chills lasted about 10 min.  i was always putting on layers of clothes and taking them off.  the car temp/ac was always being adjusted.

i went to over 20+ drs, had my gall bladder out, specialists, from many areas and no one had a clue.  in the beginning they just kept upping my htr, thinking it was hormonal, but that didn't help.  a dr. friend of the family didn't know what it was but knew it was not hormonal.  

finally in '07 i figured out by searching the internet that i had lyme.  so to the llmd i went.  here is what i have:  lyme, bart, babs, from clinical dx. lab tests show: myco and chlamydia pn, ebv, candida.  i herx on the coil for all of these, plus xmrv, and myco ferm.    my llmd thought babs was my main problem because of the cyclical pattern.  but i have found out that bart, and lyme cause sweating also.

so, with all that said, i still don't know what exactly is causing it.  i have found no one who exhibits the cyclical pattern i have.  i have heard that lyme doesn't like heat, and heat will really intensify the attacks. if i can remain cold, the attacks are less, if hot, they are worse.  i often wonder, if the sweating is the bodies ways of getting rid of a large amt. of toxins, but the heat is making me sick and causing the other symptoms????. 

as i have been attempting to kill bugs since '07, the attacks sometimes are less intense, but always every 30 min.  so maybe with the load getting lower, it is helping.  my herxes are measured by the intensity of the attacks also, plus fatigue and pain.  so....hope this might just shed a bit of light for any of you.  if you have experienced any cyclical pattern i'd love to hear about it.

I will definitely post if I find something that works.  It is horrible!

 I too haven been sweating day or night. I would wake up at night wet like I just got out of the shower and I get embarressed in the store when I`m in line. The sweat just starts dripping. Because of that I have been tested in the past to see if I was in pre menopause.(I`m 41) I have not found anything that helps me and it sucks. I was guessing that because the bacteria does not like heat. Maybe as soon as your body feels hot it reacts. I may be wrong but it seems to make sense. If you find something that works; could you let me know?

I sweat uncontrollably every single day and I have for about a year. Is this a sign of something? It is so embarrassing I would love to know if there is a solution.Kim
