Late afternoon chills without a fever

[Sadieny]

What is this??  Late afternoon chills without a fever.

3 years ago, I contract a UTI that would not go away.  Since I have been treated repeatedly with antibiotics and seem finally to have gotten that under control but since then have had a slew of other infections all that have been treated with antibiotics many of which now no longer work on me.  2 years ago, after the (then) most recent round of UTI; s I also developed allergies (first time) and then a severe sinus infection, during which I had my first round of bone chilling chills (w/o fever).  Since they have discovered that my Chronic UTIs may not have been UTI's and that my sinus infection may not have been that either, but they cannot figure out what I have. I am so frustrated!  

So here are my symptoms (which seem to be common ones on some of the undiagnosed boards).  I have bone chilling chills every afternoon around 3-6 (at times the only way I can eliminate them is to get in a scalding hot tub for 3-5 hours to warm up and stop shaking) but I do not have a fever, I have severe sinus area headaches (comes and goes), I at times get pin prick like pain into my ears, I have back pain every day that is interfering with my life (lower and mid back).  I have hypothyroid and am under treatment for such.  My test results for thyroid all come back fine, my blood work is generally fine but I often have blood in my urine without having an infection (all kidney tests have come back fine).  I have not had a day without some or all of these symptoms now for 2 years.   I have been to my MD multiple times, have blood work drawn often, have a urologist and an ENT I am working with, have been through every test with my ObGYN possible.  Have had cat scans and ultrasounds...everything always comes back fine.  But I am not fine.  I think my MD's think I am loony tunes, but I am not.  Have a wonderful life, wonderful friends, low stress, work from home, I have changed my diet, added a full complement of acidophilus and other remedies but still I am not getting better.  HELP!  Is there anything new out there on this chills and aches syndrome.  If so, please post and let me know.

Hi there, I would just like to add. That you must check out your spine and see that the nerves especially in the upper neck area are not pinched. Maybe see an Osteopath to ascertain your spinal health,  Can't hurt and maybe can help a lot.

Sadieny, could you please let me know also about:

Your thyroid treatment, brand, dose and times you take it.

And BTW, have you ever had and testing for Adrenal function?

Thanks and have a good day!

Hi Sadieny and welcome to the forum.

Sorry about your suffering and also not getting any answers.

I'll try to help but I have some questions first.

1. How did the suspected UTI's and sinus infections get ruled out?

2.  Thyroid tests and results including lab ranges.

3. Age, diet, fitness level, etc.

4. Have you been tested for tissue mineral levels?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes.
Niko
