Why do I get unexplained chills with no fever or infection?

I get these unexplained chills all the time, where im freezing cold with goose bumps all over my body. They hurt and I can barely walk they are so bad sometimes. I check my temp when I get these episodes and its perfectly normal. I do not have a infection or am not sick. Im not even in a cold environment. Everyone around me is not cold. Its the weirdest thing, and I cant find a answer for it. Its like my body is messed up and sending these chills for no reason. Please help.

I live in Arizona and as its super insanely hot out here I've had this problem as well a year ago and not until now I stopped to think about it.  I was extremely cold that not even two warm and cozy covers did me the favor and the weird thing is it only happened at night and during the day I was perfectly fine.  I want answers too!

Hi, I'm a 50 yr male, I have suffered from A lot of these symptoms , my 1st recall of bone retching chills when I was a teenager 14 maybe. I get the 3-4 times a year, it would be the slightest thing that triggers it , getting in my car and my pant rub against my hair on my legs and I break out in chills . Nothing seems to stop it , I take hot shower till no more heated water left , I get under the covers and just chatter and freeze afraid to move as it will worsen it ,finally I'll fall asleep and then wake up later soaked from sweat and then chills again and it repeats most of the night , I wake in the morning so exhausted . Durning these my joint will hurt like flu , I always thought it was the change of the seasons . Doctors have checked but nothing just blamed it on the flu and I should get a flu shot .... I get in the ball of my feet tingling, sharp pains. And numbness and my calls will cramp up so  bad I can't release them .. I noticed another post on this wall about patassium and drinking more filtered water , has anyone tried this ?

Check your environment, Corbin monoxide, mold, black spore, odd odor. What you were doing, what room, you were in at onset of symptoms. Start taking notes. Leave completely for a few days, how do you feel away from house? Better? What about upon coming back? Worse again? Your environment maybe attacking you and slowly poisoning you. Your body is trying to tell you it is under attack but from the outside in, not inside out. Look into this posibility if for no other reason than process of elimination. Everyone on this site looking for answers to unexplainable symptoms in an otherwise healthy body needs to start looking outside their bodies for the culprit. These are symptoms of a body the is being poisoned slowly. There is an astronomical amout out of homes with toxic issues in hem in America, be it carbon monoxide, mold, black spore, gas leak any number of contributing factors can make lethal over time results. I hope you all find the answers you need to improve your quality of life. Don't over look the environmental factors in contributing or being responsible for your symptoms. If you figure it to be your case and you fix it post your results, I would be thrilled to know I helped someone find some peace from this. God speed

You have heat stroke, it can happen to heat sensitive people during just average temperature days.  Stay indoors during warm weather.

How fab to find this topic. Im actually seeing my pysc doc about this on tues,as I have suffered with these for years,its like being in the artic with no clothes on with someone holding ice over my body. Mine start from my head,hair rise then it goes straight through my body to my toes. About 20years ago I moved to a new home and I had a turn as soon as I was in there,Im a spiritual person and put it down to the house spirit that lived there,( lol ok blur me if you like but bare with me) these chills continued for years, eventually the kids left home and the house was empty,suddenly it started to be more often it occurred. I suffered badly with empty nest syndrome and made new plans for my next chapter of life. I bought a hull of a boat and started to build her with the intention of living on her so slowly my 3 bed house which was full of 20years of family life bits and bobs was emptying. 1 sofa 1 blow up bed 1 tv. The chills continued but because my house was empty I put the chills down to the house being empty and cold. I have been on the boat 1 year now and had 3 major attacks of these deep bone chills,the thing is ive been 3foot away from my log burner blazing away.My last one a few week ago my boyfriend was here and I suddenly felt it coming on ran to my bed wrapped myself up screamed at him to get my dressing gown,I couldnt move total agony and it scared my boyfriend. I have PTSD and have had major cont stress for about 20years, I also have bipolar recent diag. I have had a brain scan a few years ago and I have plenty of white matter on my brain,caused by extreme stress.Because I have been next to my log burner and its still happening,now I believe its my body trying to shut me down and repair in my sleep as I have noticed I sleep like a log with no disturbances in the night and the next day I feel bouncy as if Ive had a 2 week holiday in the Bahamas in one nights sleep. I will talk to my personal expert on tues and put my theory to him and see if he corrects me or agrees with me. Saying that I also think something in the mineral comment as I have been deficient in vit D in the past for years without knowing it. 1 year on new head meds and 2 cod liver oils a day and feeling much better,only 3 chills in a year. At the house the chills apeared sometimes 3/4 times a week. 2 chills last year happened when the elec man was doing my elecs and then when the plumber was doing all my plumbing ( mass of stress and mess) this recent chill , I was stressed to the mass because I realised something wrong on my boat,and found her hull was full of water due to the plumber breaking a pipe connector and still fitted it underneath my wash room floor and also cut the wires to the pump i had fitted so he could wire his waste pump up..... Then that weekend the chill blasted me ! I do believe its cause is stress. But very much open to other opinions.

Do you have any medical mesh in you from hernia or bladder ?

The reason I ask is I had a mesh sling put in after hysterectomy and have continuing UTI and constant pain with chills when bad.
