I'm on ceftin (cefuroxime) for lyme. each day at 4 i run a fever and start shaking, sweating. after a few hours i have to urinate, then i feel better. what gives?

Drug fever?: This may well be a reaction to Ceftin (cefuroxime). Stop it for a week and see if the fever goes away. If problem persists, see an infectious disease specialists. Chronic lyme disease is a fad disease now heavily promoted by some practitioners in holistic medicine and many chiropractors yet few people actually suffer from this condition. Thus you should really consult an ID specialist.
