Re: Illness + Shivering
Shivering is an automatic body reaction to temperature diferences, if you have a fever the ambient tempereture 'feels' lower than it is.
Go see a Doctor and feel up a nurse.

Re: Illness + Shivering
The body increase temperature as a means to defend itself as invading pathogens multiply less well in higher temperatures (theyve evolved to best suit conditions in a host)
I would imagine the body shivers for a similar perpose.
I am also ill with similar symptoms
Run a HOT bath and stay in it as long as possible.

Re: Illness + Shivering
The shivering will generate heat, increasing body temperature above the optimum for the pathogens' metabolism (probably). you can demonstrate this principle by plunging into the sun, which will kill all the microbes.

Re: Illness + Shivering
Shivering is a means of increasing temperature (all the energy the muscles use is turned to thermal energy). The fact that you shiver when cold doesn't mean that being cold is the only reason for increasing your temperature.

" Vegetables"... plant-like food mostly consumed by herbivores... often green... tastes like crap.

Re: Illness + Shivering
I haven't been seriously ill (ie for more than 24 hours) since I started taking vitamin pills, about 3 years ago.

I use unique techniques called 'Eat pasta, not pizza' and 'play football, not counterstrike'. Suddenly, I am susceptible only to hayfever because im not a pasty-faced ****

People who don't eat meat. They're real healthy, lots of proteins and useful fats.

Re: Illness + Shivering
i usually get these symptom things once or twice every year, comes with a nasty cold, ive kinda had it already for the winter coming, just not for as long as it usually is... with me it lasts about 3 or 4 days. best way i find is to just grab as many blankets and sheets as you can, and cocoon yourself until you do actually feel warm.. and if it gets unbearavbly warm, tough shit, you gotta sweat it out or it will take longer to get better
