i never knew what i found when lookig up jaundice so ive popped it on here.
Dont know if its relevent for anyone.

Besides the cosmetic issues of looking yellow and having dark urine and light stools, the symptom that is associated most frequently associated with jaundice or cholestasis is itching, medically known as pruritus. The itching associated with jaundice and cholestasis can sometimes be so severe that it causes patients to scratch their skin “raw,” have trouble sleeping, and, rarely, even to commit suicide

Hi Jules:

Thanks for the info on Jaundice and itching. I didn't know that. I used to be itchy before I knew what was wrong with me. The topical skin issues were the things that got better for me right away.

Brid: The night sweats are actually sweat-drippy. For me it is my hair, neck, chest, arms behind my knees. My pajamas are actually damp. In the winter there were times that I had to change or I thought I would catch a cold. This symptom has not gotten better for me. It has gotten worse.

Hey frango

before anribiotics i ahd no ideal about night sweats accept for an old boyfriend that i literally would wipe down with a towel in his sleep it was so bad. anyway babble as i do lol

Since doxy i now have the odd night sweat, and i wake up head,neck,shoulders, chest. sometimes around waste line. soaked, like a flu sweat as when i wake im not hot but havent taken temperature yet.
its like the cold sweat with flu.

so im wondering if its for progress, the body expelles in many ways what it doesnt need.

could it be that or could it be related to the time clock of the night activity of the lyme.
I know you have mentiones behind teh knees, but Why is it only upper most body?

I did concider this the other day and wondered if it was related to the heart, as i find im extremely wet on the left side ( unless its because im slept on the left side and its run down my body) could it be poisons to the heart or something i have no ideal why i thought it, but nothing makes sense anyway right

We have our symptoms of when our organs are full of these toxins but not so much an instant reaction of teh heart being overloaded.
Overloaded with processing thick blood ( i think) but not the actuall poisons passing through it. Im no doc so if any out there let us know.
