What Causes Body Chills In A Person With Scleroderma?
I have scleroderma. I am 65 years old. My biggest complaint is a body chilling cold that comes from the inside out...even causing my teeth to chatter at times. My rheum says I need to keep my core warm. But I dress in three-four layers if clothing and still feel cold. I also have raynauds. Is there anything I could take...vitamin or herbal that would ease my symptoms?
