Lupus Support Group

Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.

Anyone get chills all the time?? I've been getting them everyday at around 5-6 PM like clockwork and I haven't been taking my temp until recently (101.8+). I'm assuming I always run a low grade fever at night ... Which sucks when you work late.

How do you deal??

Thanks and happy thanksgiving to you all!!!

I'm like irisq806, because I can freeze one minute and roast the next. I describe it as my body's thermostat being broken.

Yep..
Low grade fevers mingled with swetay cold chills ( when fever breaks, I guess?)
How I deal.
Cursing.
Hug

Interesting, I get chilly right at that same time of day...must be some physiological thing going on.

My guaranteed cure for the chillies...if you can handle it...exercise. I get outside...where it's actually colder...and get busy doing things like hoeing weeds...and that chilly feeling usually disappears completely.

Of course if it's down near freezing and windy as all get-out...forget it, the exercise won't work...LOL.

I have said the same thing as Nanny. Feels like my bodies thermostat is broken. I freeze one minute and then am having a hot flash the next. Chills most often when I go to bed, at least that is when I notice it the most. Crazy disease.
