I have had them for many months - come and go throughout the day...but are worse in the middle of the night and early morning.

Anyone have them?

I don't know if they are lyme and/or co infection symptoms...or hormones?

I have them! If they get serious (worse at night and early morning for me as well) I shake really violently for about three hours.
My GP said its likely raynauds, which is very common especially in women and it's a benign condition and best to just treat it when it shows up my bundling up and moving a little to keep blood flow going. He said usually shaking and chills don't get too bad, but it can be aggrevated by Lyme which is why it got worse for me when I didn't make the connection to bundle up!

thanks ellip - I'm not sure if that's what I'm experiencing. I get chills inside my body but it's hot in our house - about 80 deg. F. It's mostly in my legs but they don't feel cold. I don't physically shake, though. Unless, the shaking is a more severe form.

But, maybe your advice about moving would help it...as it mostly happens when I'm in bed, lying still.

That's a lot like how mine is too, girlie! I was very confused at first because I often felt very warm when it happened and they first started happening for me too while I was laying in bed. But I began to notice that I'd feel better if I was sitting upright and it would slowly go away if I walked around a bit (but kept my legs covered).

Thanks for the responses.
Mike/Ellip - Do you think it's bartonella...or lyme?

They're really bothering me...I think they're worse the past few days...so maybe I'm herxing...I added zithro and reached my full dose 4 days ago.
When i wake up with them...I can't get back to sleep...this morning it was 6:00 a.m. soooooo frustrating.

Mike - You've been on amoxycillin?

Yes, definitely, I have them

Are those typical for Bart.?

Dysautonomia possibly. It's possible that lyme attacks the autonomic nervous system. When it's secondary to lyme it will probably go away with treatment.
