Im really shivery. As I literally shake. Don't otherwise feel. I'll but can't get warm. Tried blankets on the sofa and heating on.

Now in bed with 2 duvets and an hoodie and a hot water bottle on me. Not shivering as much but occasional shiver still and hands feel freezing if I get my phone out.

I'm exhausted but I often am (me/cfs and probable peri)

But why shivery? I had Things To Do this evening!!

I've done a covid test. Not that. Taken some lemsip.

It’s cold

You have a cold or even flu. Your body gets cold and hot as it tries to fight the infection. Drink fluids and take paracetamol.

Have you not got a thermometer? The only times I’ve felt as cold as you’re describing I’ve had a raging temperature. But also felt pretty poorly. Strange to be this shivery but feel fine. Have you got anyone to fetch you a hot drink?

I feel completeky wiped tbh but life's quite stressful at the moment so thought it was that.

I'm not snotty/snore throat. I've got lots on in person at work this week and need to be more alive!

Yes temp says 36. 4 on my head currently and just below 36 on my chest. Mines often a bit low, anyway but it's within normal bounds.

Yes I know it's cold but heatings on and kids and husband aren't hiding in bed shivering!

Hmm now I'm hot and want everything off me.

But temp gun reading 37.1

Goodness knows what I'm doing but I think I'll sleep.

I was like that on Thursday night, felt "cold to the bone" and very shivery. Temp was a little raised at 37.7.
I've been a bit out of sorts ever since, cough etc. not Covid as had a rummage and found a test!

Feel better soon OP!
