Shivering

[Adamc1987]

Has anyone else have shivering at night and in the morning? I’ve dont have a fever, just seem to shiver and feel anxious. Yet all through the day I’m fine.

When I first be ame unwell I went through a very cold period when I just could not keep myself warm and would shiver. That has now passed and I'm hot and burning most of the time, sometimes feverish.

Me too Mmr so hot most of the time not just hot but sweating.Hubby asks will say do you want the heating on my answer is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[VeronicaF]

I do both, sometimes I have hot flushes, and sometimes in the mornings and evening I just can't get warm, like tonight, heating is on and have a thick jumper on but I am freezing

Hi Adam, I too have shivering during the night and mornings without a fever as though I'm going down with cold or flu but nothing. I take parecetomols which helps. Having Seropositive rheumatoid arthritis I was told shivering was part of the symptom. I have this winter decided to use electric blanket which helps and good for joints.

Best wishes

I shiver for no reason and then I can turn around and run a fever for no reason. Likewise I was told it was RA associated. I’m also a big fan of my electric blanket. I find it I keep my muscles and joints warm, especially in the winter, I do much better. If I get chilled it can do damage that lasts a day or more it.

I turn into a radiator in bed I always wake up too hot like I’m radiating heat... even sweaty sometimes- but am feeling cold most of the time during the day, like I’m cold from the inside out...

I remember a really warm spell last year where I had shorts and top on in garden and felt cold almost shivery, didn’t realise I was getting sunburnt 😬

The hydroxy seems to have made me burn more easily, even the mild sun we are having in the uk last week was burning my scalp as I hung out some washing in garden.

I’m going to be wearing a big cardigan all wrapped up accessorising with a sun hat to stop my head burning this summer I expect 😂

Oh the joys!

Yes you have to be careful when taking hydroxychoroquine. Plenty of sun screen

Anxiety and shivering in the morning can have a connection to low sugar. Our sugar stores in the liver are used up pretty much during night. Some of us may need to take carbs before going to bed. I used to have this problem. Would wake up hungry at night. Anyways you could try taking a spoon of honey or something else sweet when you have the shivering and anxiety and try to eat carbs before going to bed.You are in my view discribing a stress rection in your body and stress is calmed down by sugar.

You might be on to something with the sugar and stress, this last week has been a bit rubbish. I do come around quickly once I’ve had food in the morning, but i have to force it down me. I will Bering some haribo to bed with me tonight and see

Try it👍🏻😊I take a cup of coconut milk with honey and 11/2tsp of Great Lakes hydrolate gelatine every evening before bed time.😊Gealine also very good to level down stress reaction. Good luck! And do tell how it works! Simba

So sorry for you but at last I have answers! Every few months I seem to wake up feeling cold - start shivering -gets worse so I go back to bed - takes an hour or so to stop in which time I feel really ill. Then I start to warm up and get to sleep for a few hours. Not too bad when I wake up - sometimes sweaty - but feel "off" for the rest of the day!
