Anyone have bad chills??

Hi Guys: For about three weeks I have been having these spells of shaking chills, like you would get with the flu. Even on a fairly good day I will have them. They come out of nowhere. Do you all have this symptom?? Doc thought it was thyroid but test was normal. Thanks   D

I had chills in the summer one year when the temperature was about 90 degrees. I got in my car and turned on the heat.

I've battled shaking chills off & on for a long time. I've found some triggers are food intolerances/allergies, and also getting cold without being aware that I was getting cold. But sometimes, they just hit me out of nowhere too. Best thing to help I find is a heating pad or electric blanket, or a hot bath.

I battle chills when my energy level is low from Lyme. My general tolerance to cold is very very low, the cold is downright painfull. I wento Florida to get away from it all about 2 years ago and it was in the upper 80's I was the only one on the beach with a sweatshirt and jeans and I felt like a wierdo. Everytime the wind would blow a slight bit I would get really cold. I know what you are going thru!! Often in the morning I have to turn the heat up to about 75 and stay under the blankets. Pain medication in general helps to cut back on my cold sensitivity and helps me with energy I have no idea why.

Treat the energy crisis in your body and you will treat the cold sensitivity.

My hands and feet are always cold while the rest of my body is sweating. At night in the middle of winter I have to keep my window open so I won't sweat to death and at the same time I have to keep the heat on and keep under heavy blankets. I have to keep one foot under the covers and warm while the other one has to be outside the covers and cold. It sounds crazy but that's the only way I can deal with being too cold and too hot at the same time!! I think it tricks my body into feeling relief from both the cold and heat at once. I also use heated blankets and heating pads. If it sounds like a hassle it is!

When I first realized I was sick with lyme I had chills which I thought previously was a virus. When I started doxy the chills were so bad I had to stay under an electric blanket all the time. I continue to get chills but usually not the all over the body kind. They are isolated to one part of my body - very strange.
I am also cold intolerant with very cold feet and face.
