Cold all the time

It feels like my body is shivering all the time and the only thing that helps is walking. I'm always freezing cold and very sensitive to any type of breeze or airconditioner.  Also have a rash (3 months) on my Stomach that comes and goes mostly stays. They did two Biopsy on the rash and both can back okay. It's all driving me crazy!!! I've had a MRI of the Sprine & Brain and tons of blood work that all came back fine. They also checked for Lyme's Disease and thyroid can back OK. I have all the signs of depession and Anxiety but I think its all due to not knowing why I'm freezing and having this electric shock feeling through my body (mostly from my Stomach up). They put me on prozac 20mg. three weeks ago thinking it was depression but I'm still freezing to death and the prozac didn't help.
Anyone have any throghts on this?
Thank You!!!

Lyme tests are very inaccurate, and lyme diagnosis should be clinical diagnosis. Google lyme, as ilads.org, and  LymeDiseaseAssociation.org for more info. Any mental illness could be due to lyme.
I had migrating rash on hips and abdomen with lyme until effective treatment. I had multiple tests done, too, all negative, even lyme. Lyme test was positive after I had effective treatment (4 years later). Had neurological lyme with wild symptoms neurologists contributed to be psychiatric. I would freeze alot, and get into hat bath. Then I would feel ill and weak. I became extremely sensitive to sounds, visual movements and flashing (on tv, seeing people, lines on road, trees going by). For a long time I couldn't tolerate touch.
Are you seeing a doc who treats many lyme patients? Do you know others in area with it, and can ask who they see??
Good luck! Even if it is not lyme, keep going until you find the right diagnosis (I had many wrong ones).  I still deal with depression and anxiety from it, but am much better with physical symptoms.
Also, now I feel if dr.s can't find cause to at least try an antibiotic for a month and see what happens. If you feel worse it can be from die off of lyme and it releasing toxins. That would be a sign.
