"Chills" at night...

Okay maybe I am just on an emotional rollercoaster with the hub gone, or maybe this is not fibro. I am wondering if anyone gets this. For about the last few weeks I've been getting serious chills while sleeping. ( not night sweats, just chills.. shaky ones)

It puzzles me because I go to bed in heavy gear to combat muscle spasms during winter. I usually wear warm ups, columbia fleece Jacket, socks, and blankets. Despite this, I am still getting the bone rattling chills. Once I wake up, ( they wake me) put the covers up to my nose and curl in a ball they go away.

For the love of Pete.. does anyone else get something similar? I googled it and it says it is hypoglacemia. I know some of us have sugar issues with this..


HELP..

Your temperature does drop when you sleep, since you are still and using less energy.

I often wake up freezing, shaking and shivering.

I also have a lower than normal body temp.

This sounds very familiar to me. Just yesterday in Oz, it was 43 degrees Celcius.....very bloody hot i can tell you. Despite this i was sitting down working on my laptop and on and off all day i got the chills.
I could feel it coming on, starting on my legs and moving up to my arms. It was really strange as normally i have the opposite problem. in winter i seem to have hot flushes and can't handle the blankets on my body.
So, you are not alone, I am not coming down with a cold so I assume its fibro related, but i was shaking like i was in the arctic.
Funny the physiological issues fibro sends our way!

This is kind of random but a big part of my FM and CFS illness is my sensitivity to chemicals. I realize not all with FM/CFS have this issue, but I do. A few years ago I dressed up as a character for Halloween which required a fake tan. I sprayed my entire body with this orange tan. It was fun and people liked my costume. It was a hit.

However, by the end of the night I had a splitting headache, and my body was acting bizarre. I began shivering and kept getting those goose-bump chills even though I wasn't cold at all! It was very bizarre. I did attribute the non stop goose bump chills (while warm) to FM. I think the chemicals in the fake tan probably pushed me over the limit and "triggered" strange neuro issues like that.

My track record is: At home box hair dye - 4 day splitting migraine (worse than normal)
All over fake tan - 6 hour intense migraine (worse than the average headache for me)

Now I'm really cautious about what kind of chemicals I allow on my body since the skin absorbs them into the bloodstream and I seem to be so sensitive. For me, this is what seemed to trigger my abnormal FM shivers on that specific occasion.
