night sweats

I have been in treatment for 4 months (Zhang protocol plus some homeopathics and lots of vitamins, etc...). Dr Z in NYC has told me that I need to remain on the artemisia until I stop sweating at night. At that point, he will switch from the Babesia treatment to the Bart treatment (HH). Originally, I was told the first phase (which includes the artemiasia plus others....) would last 40-80 days. Well, it will be 150 days at the end of July....

Here is the problem. I am pretty sure I have been sweating at night for as far back as I can remember...so, how do I really know it is from Lyme and co's? It IS possible that I have had lyme for many many year, so maybe that's it...

On the other hand, I am 48 am believe I am also perimenopausal. Doesn't that also cause night sweats? I am concerned that the night sweats will NOT go away, but that they are not caused by the Babesia...

How can I possibly tell the difference?

Hi Cheryl - I am wondering myself how to distinguish the night sweats from menopause.
I went through menopause just prior to my lyme symptoms...
Do you have hot flashes during the day?

I'm thinking mine may be menopause because I'm not drenched from them...which is usually the case with babs.

I never sweat in the day time. Does that man it is definitely not menopause?

Also, seriously I have been sweating at night as long as I can remember. When I first started the Artemesain, the sweating increased, then decreased, but still there….
