I already asked this question somewhere else, but I want more opinions... Chills?

Question

For a few hours I will be freezing and the next I will be burning. When I have the chills and I feel my head/neck it feels very hot to touch. It isn't hot flashes, I promise. What do you think it is? I don't feel sick other wise.

No, I don't take drugs.

It's not menopause, I'm young. It has only been for about 3 or 4 days.

Answer 2

This could be very serious.
This summer I was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome. This is when the nerves leading off of the end of the spinal cord become damaged and it goes a little something like this:
You'll get pains, cramps, feel like your very very tired at first.
Then shooting pains that feel sometimes like an icicle pressed onto you and then like a flame lit on your skin.
Then depending on what nerves are damaged, you may go into paralysis.
I'm not saying this is what you have, I'm simply saying this may be neurologically related and to be on the safe side I would go see a doctor ASAP and if necessary (if the pain is getting to the point where your screaming and contemplating calling an ambulance) get yourself to an emergency room. If it is neurologically related (God forbid) DO NOT get in your car and drive there, if paralysis occurs you'll be dealing with a car crash too.
So basically get to a doctor and if the sensations get very very bad call an ambulance.
I may sound a little bit paranoid to you, but after the experience I've had with this syndrome..... I can't even put into words the pain. When they sent me in for blood tests I didnt even blink when they inserted the needle thing and I was completely scared of needles before that.
Good luck to you.

Answer 3

Are you at menopausal age? 40-50? It could be that. If its been going on for this long, which it looks like it has, go get checked by a doctor. You might just have a flu if its been a short period of time.

Answer 5

I answered this question somewhere else too, and my answer is still the same: You are getting sick, my friend. Go buy the popsicles and tylenol before someone else has to do it for you.

Answer 6

My boyfriend does the same thing. He has a temp that is above average. He freezes easily. Maybe that's it.

Answer 7

Sounds like your body's thermostat is screwed up. Could be a horomone imbalance. Maybe you should see a doctor.

NOTES:
Symptom 1 (hot flashes)
Hot flashes are due to the hypothalamic response to declining ovarian estrogen production. The declining estrogen state induces hypophysiotropic neurons in the arcuate nucleas of the hypothalamus to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in a pulsatile fashion, which in turn stimulates release of luteinizing hormone (LH). Extremely high pulses of LH occur during the period of declining estrogen production. The LH has vasodilatory effects, which leads to flushing.

Symptom 7 (loss of libido)
For some women the loss is so great that they actually find sex repulsive, in much the same way as they felt before puberty. What hormones give, loss of hormones can take away.

Symptom 8 (dry vagina)
results in painful intercourse

Symptom 11 (doom thoughts)
includes thoughts of death, picturing one's own death

Symptom 14 (incontinence)
reflects a general loss of smooth muscle tone

Symptom 15 (itchy, crawly skin)
feeling of ants crawling under the skin, not just dry itchy skin

Symptom 16 (aching sore joints)
may include such problems as carpal tunnel syndrome

Symptom 22 (depression)
different from other depression, the inability to cope is overwhelming. There is a feeling of loss of self. Hormone therapy ameliorates the depression dramatically.

Symptom 25 (weight gain)
often around the waist and thighs, resulting in the disappearing waistline

Symptom 29 (shock sensation)
"the feeling of a rubber band snapping in the layer of tissue between skin and muscle. It is a precursor to a hot flash"

Symptom 30 (tingling in extremities)
can also be a symptom of B-12 deficiency, diabetes, alterations in the flexibility of blood vessels, or a depletion of potassium or calcium

Some of the 34 signs may also be symptoms of one of the following:
* hypothyroidism
* diabetes
* depression with another etiology
* Multiple Sclerosis
* other medical conditions
If you have reason to believe you may have one of these conditions, please see your doctor for treatment.
