Lilly, What are you symptoms?

Were your test results positive for Babesia?

I am right on the line with the numbers...thats why I ask....
I am being treated with malarone by my LLMD...
Oh gosh my symptoms...I could go on forever....but I will give you
A good idea....full body pain...shooting pain out every nerve ending,numbness in hands feet and face,twitching,flu like symptoms, neck pain, weakness all over, nausea, cognitive issues, migraines,joint pain, core temp 96-97.6,dizziness, sensitive to light sound smell touch heat cold......Im sure there are more....but those are what come to mind....

What about hot sweats? Do you get very hot sometimes, and/or do you have hot sweats? Do you feel worse when you have the hot sweats? Do the hot sweats coincide with colds or other viruses?

The other stuff sounds like Lyme alright, but I don't know which symptoms correspond to which co infection yet.

I've just started learning about adrenals, and a lot of those symptoms correspond to low adrenals. The low body temperature could be both low adrenals as well as thyroid. Most people with Lyme have trouble with adrenals and thyroid.

You could try the herb artemisinin or Artemisia in addition to the Malarone, and see if it helps.

Test results are often not reliable in Lyme and co.

I used to sweat all the time...I am on alot of other meds for body pain...otherwise I would not make it thru a day...I also had spinal fusion of my neck 3 years ago...that I what triggered my Lyme symptoms...was finally diagnosed 6 months ago....anywho...
I know longer physically sweat so to speak due to these meds....but my head does feel like its on fire more days than not...and I can melt thru ice packs on my head very quickly trying to cool down...and yet...my core temp is low and I feel terrible while this is happening..and no there I no cold I virus at the time...I rarely get sick...and my thyroid is fine according to testings :/ I've been tested for everything known to man by my PCP and LLMD....LLMD took 30 vials of blood and is treating me for Lyme and babesia...what a nightmare 😵

The reason I'm asking is that hot sweats are very typical for Babesia, even if your core temp. is low.

It sounds like you do have Babesia, and you should treat for it regardless.

You might also consider taking Artemisia.
