I thought it might pass quickly, but the afternoon fever and fatigue, along with bad stomach problems (constipation too) seems to be back in full force. Also, morning anxiety. No doubt it's a repeating process over the years. Never have figured it out, though WBF's thought from a couple of years ago of Brucella seems to be a possibility.

My face feels like it's burning up but is not by about 3:00 pm. Stomach upset is really bad. This has happened multiple times over the years and seems to last for months. Tomorrow I have to set sound and announce a 5K race and have to look happy doing so. At least it's in the morning.

Jeez - you can’t catch a break!

So sorry to hear this running wild!

Running wild…you got this!

Thanks to both of you. Was wondering if anyone else gets a hot feeling on their face in afternoon, sometimes followed by low-grade fever and added fatigue.

I'd like to go see a very good Lyme specialist, but I'd guess takes a good while to get in.

I'm so sorry, Running wild. I deal with severe constipation myself, so I sympathize deeply.

Have you ever considered trying yoga? I thought it was nuts when my daughter insisted I at least give it a try. I started doing 4 yoga moves specifically for constipation and thought: "yeah, right", but continued thinking I'll do it for a week... just in case. Three days later, things started moving a LOT easier.

I was truly amazed. Lol

Last week, we got super busy one day, and my yoga time got ate up finishing a project with my hubby, and I've regretted not doing the yoga, even though I only missed one day, my intestines have NOT been happy since. That was 4 days ago, and I've been doing my yoga faithfully every day again, and things have started moving again. Talk about sweet relief! That creates a ton of pain and misery!

Just a thought, and your milage may differ, but it only takes me 15 minutes a day to do my 7 yoga poses. It's a small price for such help.

I hope that find find something to help!!

Traveler - My daughter does some yoga. I'll asks her for help on this. I'll try anything. The whole pattern has hit again and won't let up with fatigue, low fever, stomach, etc....

Thanks for your suggestion and help. Hope whatever it is you have been dealing with is fixable on its way to improvement.

is it treatment related RW

sometimes herx reactions can be reawakening of old symptoms - or just strong onset of ongoing symptoms and can be after a delay - so can kind of catch us off guard and confuses us as to the cause

After all the years I've been on this site (😳 15 years), I STILL forget to subscribe to a thread sometimes! Ugh.

I'd be happy to share the sites I've used, should you wish. Just let me know.

And thank you for your kind words. I'm not out; f the woods yet, and may never be. I have an "unknown" issue causing dangerous blood pressure spikes. Of course, I've taken my research a lot further than any of the doctors cared to do and while I can't prove it, I honestly believe that it all leads back to autonomic damage done when I couldn't get treatment for my tick-borne infections. But the testing would put me in danger of a stroke/aneurysm/heart attack, and I simply don't trust doctors enough to not kill me to try the testing. Lol. I've created my own catch -22! Ugh.

Your words about doctors - "I simply don't trust doctors enough to not kill me to try the testing." That rings so true as, unfortunately, so may of us learned who are dealing with Lyme. Over the 15 years you have been on this site (I've ONLY been here 9), you would think more answers would be available to improve situations. It's truly a medical shame that many. many doctors still refuse to acknowledge.

Your theory of autonomic damage makes a lot of sense. Have you found any potential answers for that? And what do you do when you have the spikes, if you don't mind me asking? You have helped so many people. Maybe someone has been through the same that might help shed some light on that.

This goes back to what I have come to realize - that even LLMDs often fail to mention what Lyme can lead to down the road. Co-infections, EBV, autoimmune, autonomic issues, etc... Had I known this when I finally received a Lyme diagnosis after 11 years of searching, the urgency to treat would have been even stronger. The blood spikes are nothing to mess with, obviously.

I think I’ve been on here 9 years???

Where does the time go….

Oh, what a terrible situation. I am sorry you had to go through this. I have had a constipation problem for most of my life. So I understand your situation. I tried a lot of natural home treatments at first, but none of them worked for me. I struggled with constipation until I saw my doctor. He prescribed me constipation relief capsules https:// https://www.colace.ca/products/colace-clear-capsules/ . I take this capsule every day after dinner. It really worked my constipation and had no negative side effects. Now I am free from constipation.
