You should talk to Dr. D about this, but you're not necessarily going

backward. Sounds like herxing to me. I also get twitching all over the place

(especially since starting IV rocephin) and I've had night sweats when I've

restarted the IV after a week off (when I had gallbladder problems). My

fiance is also being treated with orals for Lyme and he also gets soaking

sweats at times. Also, you might want to cut back on some activities.. your

body needs that energy to heal.

Jody,

My night sweats wax and wane. This year they're at an all time high, but I

think some of that has to do with my food intolerences increasing. My muscle

cramping and twitching, on the other hand, have all but disappeared since

Joe suggested I take magnesium.

Jody-

Sounds like babesia to me......night sweats, throwing up.

Did you get tested for it? When my sister saw Dr. D, he did not believe in

the co-infections....has that changed?

5 months of treatment?? you are only just scratching the surface.....

I have been 3 1/2 yrs. of treatment now, treated for lyme, babesia,

ehrlichia, mycoplasma (fermentan), HHV-6 and Epstein Barr.

Forgot.....take magnesium for the twitching....really good one is Tropical

Oasis brand, it is a liquid that goes in the refrig. and is

Calcium/magnesium. (www.tropicaloasis.com) and you can get it at your health

food store.

YES!! I had the night sweats big time, NOT anymore.

Sue: What do you take for Epstein-Barr? This is always on ongoing problem

for me. I also was + for m. fermentans, borrelia and now erlichia. Have to

go back on IVs again soon as insurance oks.

I just began the whey protein and am increasingly feeling the misery of

herxing but hopefully the buggers are being attacked by the doxy and

hopefully the increased action of my immune system, thanks to the whey and

atp with glutathione.

[Guest guest]

I had night time sweats.............as well as day time

sweats........profuse...........had to change my clothes both during the day

and night.......several times!!

I did not have any co-infections.....currently my blood tests come back

clear of lyme, and I am free of symptoms for about 1 1/2 years.............I

do however suffer from nerve damage as the result of

lyme.............especially in my back.

Can only sit here a few minutes...........so can only respond to this one

question..........

Is bebesia the only reson for night sweats. I did not have them for a

while but recently I increased my dose of whey protein with the last

one before bed and since then I have had night sweats. Am I wrong to

think night sweats can be a good sign? I thought it was indicative of

die-off.Is this incorrect?

Hi,

Dr. D. did test me for co-infections - babesia, erlichia and bartonella.

He tested me this past Dec. I had made improvement on one of his regular

protocols (erithro, doxy, plaquenil) but had plateaued. When I discussed

w. him why I may have plateaued, he said he would test me for the

co-infections.

I was glad he included bartonella.

Healing and wellness to all,

Marie

I don't think so because my herxes on rocephin (does not treat babesia) have

caused sweats at times and others have said that their lyme herxes also

cause sweats at times as well. Maybe it's a matter of degree.

The best thing for Epstein Barr is Transfer Factor Plus because it is a viral

infection, your basic immune system is worn out. I use and LOVE 4-Life Co.

website is www.4-Life.com and you want to take either 2 pills 1st thing in

the morning, or 1 in the a.m. and 1 in the p.m. It is kept in the

refrigerator. It costs about $50 and you have to use my distributor # which

is #5079297. **I DO NOT CARE TO MAKE $$ OFF OF THIS PRODUCT!!!! I WILL

REIMBURSE ANYONE THE DIFFERENCE OF MY COST TO YOUR COST!!!!! This product

contains the Colostrum (for those of you that remember using it, it is the

pre-milk of bovine cows, like mother's pre-milk, full of antibodies!!! Helps

one to lose weight too, excellent immune builder), also Cordyvant (a combo of

glyconutrients-- IP-6, which is the newest anti-cancer supplement--

Cordyceps, Maitake and shiitake mushrooms, Beta Glucans and Aloe Vera

extracts). Glyconutrients strengthen white blood cels to produce antibodies

w/out the help of the T-cells. It also has ThyRex, which contains important

thymic factors which support T=cells. (T-cells have attacker cells, helper

cells and suppressor cells). This is a wonderful supplement for overall

health and energy. I had Epstein Barr, not anymore.

As far as mycoplasma (fermentan) --had that too, now cured-- the treatment is

Doryx (doxycycline--Dorxy is the name brand which is potent as opposed to

generic). Six months minimum seems to do the trick. It also covers lyme,

ehrlichia and crosses a tiny bit to babesia. 400mg/day. (200mg in am and

200mg in pm). YOU DON " T HAVE TO HAVE IVs....... the Doryx will kick butt!!!!!

(because you have a multitude of infections, like I did).

I also had bartonella, in which I was treated with Dynabac--abx--works on lym

e too.

I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but I have had

night sweats and twitching of various muscles since my Lyme onset in

1987. They come and go.

Why, just last night, I thought my pointer finger on my right hand

was trying to beckon me closer in my sleep. <S> It was just

twitching, and I sat up and watched it in fascination. Bizarre stuff

sometimes.

But, as I said these things have come and gone whether or not I was

on medication.

And I do have Bb strain of Lyme.
