Night Sweats

Another sign of Babesia can be red/maroon colored freckles on stomach or chest area. I have about six of them. My children do not have them

 

Do the freckles that you're refering to look like the smaller pic of the two, on the right?

I've got those spots--more than six of them! My boy was pos. for Babesia, so that is what this is, I guess. My heels have been really hurting the last couple months. Creek-y neck, too. Neither of us has had the night sweat problem, though. Dawn

Yes, they look like the one next to the dime. I have three on my stomach and now three on my chest. They anticipate I'll get more as I undergo treatment.

I should clarify that I've only noticed the night sweats in my kids since treating for LYME. I walk into their rooms to give them their last dose of antibiotic while sleeping and when I picked up on the sweats. I do not have them 'night sweats' with treatment but they still think I have Babesia.

The one next to the dime is what I have on my stomach/chest (10-15 of them). The other picture looks more like sores.

Hmmm, given the situation it might be important to test yourself. It would be interesting to know if you ever do test positive for Babesia or the marks are harmless. Obviously, they are an indication for me.

On my list to do... For other reasons as well.

Yes, our son experienced night sweats. We would check on him during the night when he was sleeping and his hair would be soaking wet. He would also complain of leg pain, but he was not getting any taller so I know the pain was not from growing. The night sweats and leg pain are gone now - I hope this will pass for your child, too.
