night time

every night I wake-up twice to go to the bathroom - I can't ignore it as my bladder feels full - though I don't actually release much urine !!  just curious if anyone else has this - of course as I have mentioned before - I am pretty sure I am going through menopause - so I guess the bladder thing could be part of that. Also I often wake-up with a 'wet' face - the rest of my body feels hot but not 'sweaty' like my face/head.

I often end-up with no duvet on me and the window wide open - it's pretty cold now in U.K. - but still am too hot to sleep - I know this too could be menopause related - just wondering if any 'lymies' [non-menopausal] - get similar probs. at night - I also notice that during the day when I get a 'wave' of bad pain - I then get very hot.

My neck/shoulders are pretty bad at moment - I have that 'seizing-up' feeling - yuk!!

I've read that Lyme bacteria particularly enjoy setting up camp in the bladder and the irritation .  I sometimes get that "gotta go -- again!" situation, but it comes and goes.

I also get sweats/warm flashes but it's unknown at this point whether it's hormones or infection from a more recent tick bite.  Could be both.

it seems impossible to discover what is lyme and what is not - since lyme can apparently mess with just about anything in our bodies/minds - I have had sooo many things 'crop-up' since the tick-bite - previously I was rarely aware of any health probs. - I guess it is the same for most of us here - pre-lyme.

I also have those hot flushing issues.  I'm close to the menopause age but I have had this for over 10 years??
