What Causes Shivering Without Fever?
HI
Friday night I was freezing with extreme shivers,I did not have a fever but I could not get warm. I drank some hot tea and took a hot shower until the shivers subsided then went to bed.
Saturday I had a fever of 101. Got slight chills when I moved around. (goosebumps no shivers) and today I am fine.
I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (10+ yrs.)
I have multiple nodules on my thyroid which I am taking synthroid for (generic form) I take atenolol for blood pressure which is under control and an antidepressent for the fibro.
I had been experiencing heavy prespiration on excertion which I've had for about 3-6 months.
I December of last year I had a "silent" bladder infection which was solved.
Other than that I am a healthy 63 year old. I weight 174 lbs. I am 5'4" tall.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fever can be associated with chills (the freezing sensation that you experienced).
This occurs as the body tries to adjust itself to the new high temperature (fever). The chills and trembling are its attempt to get there.
The use of acetaminophen or ibuprofen would help to reduce the temperature but you may need to visit your doctor to identify the source.
I hope this helps
