Thinking of detoxing, what do you do if you don't sweat? I only sweat in limited areas (eyelids, back of knees) and the one time in my life that I can remember really getting beads of sweat all over was when a fever of mine hit 104. I've never been able to sweat aside from getting a touch clammy, even if I was doing rigorous hour long work outs. Because of this I've been concerned about saunas and mustard baths. But how can I detox properly if I can't sweat? :/

Thinking of this, is anhidriosis a frequent problem among people with Lyme? Or am I just really unlucky? Haha

I have the same problem and will be selling our sauna since I overheat too much and only sweat a little. I don't tolerate heat around my head either. I got a Biomat instead, so I can get the benefit of the heat at least.

You can do epsom salt baths or foot baths. If you go to the "New to Lyme?" thread at the top of the page, you'll find more things you can do.

I've been sweating a little more this summer, especially when I have a long sleeved shirt on over a t-shirt when I work in the sun. Not a lot, but enough that I don't overheat too much.

My daughter has epilepsy and has the same problem. If I had to guess, I'd say she has mercury disrupting hypothalamic activities. She was diagnosed when she was two. Of course they get their shots at two.

I don't sweat too well either. You are not alone! Luckily there are plenty of other detox methods for us anti-perspirers.

Honestly, for me - the best way to detox was through food. Lemon, licorice tea detoxes (gentle)
