Why do I get unexplained chills with no fever or infection?

[Danielle714]

I get these unexplained chills all the time, where im freezing cold with goose bumps all over my body. They hurt and I can barely walk they are so bad sometimes. I check my temp when I get these episodes and its perfectly normal. I do not have a infection or am not sick. Im not even in a cold environment. Everyone around me is not cold. Its the weirdest thing, and I cant find a answer for it. Its like my body is messed up and sending these chills for no reason. Please help.

Me too!  Symptoms many others have described:  severe night chills, followed by sweats.  I first experienced this while living in Turkey in the early 90s.  At some point, the symptoms "jumped" across borders, and I had them in Europe as well as the USA.  I gradually discovered that if I kept my head warm, that would control the chills, and if the chills were not severe, then neither were the subsequent sweats.  Now, I keep a ski cap next to my bed at all times, and it helps a lot.  Most recent episode was last night; I've not had another for several months.  I consulted docs in Turkey and USA, but got no answers.

I have had this issue for years. Mine stems from brain surgery in 2001. They ended up wiping my pituitary gland out so I would not have another growth spurt. Having the gland tested could lead to diagnosis and cire

I take atenolol. My chills prevent me from bathing-this is when they're at they're worst. Painful and debilitating almost. #luckily I'm not an odorous person

Has anyone found relief and/or a diagnosis?  I suffer from these chills as well and they are getting worse.  I become "frozen" and can't move during an episode.  They happen in the afternoon, for about 2 hours duration.  I have fibromyalgia, dystonia, osteoarthritis, IBS, chronic constipation, and on and on.  My thyroid has been checked out, bloodworm done, no apparent cause.  I see many common symptoms on this blog, but not much in way of treatment.  Any ideas?
