I feel like I am going through menopause. This is bizarre. I am 32, why am I getting crazy hot flashes?Anyone else?

And thank you Lord for inventing clinical strength deodorant for my times of need

Yup- I get them too... and I"m 33. Sometimes about 30 minutes after I take my Doxy I'll flash for a while.... especially at night.

Granted, I was getting them regularly before even starting Lyme meds! But I think it's all tied to Lyme. I haven't done the research, but my assumption is that Lyme does a job on our hormones....

I've had major sweat for a few years as well (37-year old male). I am pretty sure that night sweats occur due to one of the co-infections, babesia I think. I used to sweat a lot, it tapered off, I added mepron and artemisin (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) and the night sweats are back, though my LLND thinks that's a good sign.

Sweating, either in the day or at night is a symptoms of TBI's. A Babesia infection is usually the culprit for those drenching night-time sweats, and Lyme is usually the culprit for the daytime sweats.

Remember though, that sweats can also be part of a herx. So please be sure you are detoxing!
