Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Chills are often an indication of hypothyoid condition(low thyroid hormones). Mercury is a major cause of hypothyroid and other hormonal problems, but not the only one. Release and redistribution during chelation can affect this. You can do a home test by taking your underarm temperature(tight under arm 5 minutes) before getting up in the morning, for a few mornings. If temp consitently below 98 degrees indicates thyroid problem. A thyroid supplement like Armor or LEP brand might help. Even if you have normal thyroid levels, by blood test, you can be functionally hypothyroid. Mercury makes thyroid hormone not useful to the body functionally, so even though you have normal T3 and T4 levels you can be functionally deficient. Similarly mercury can block conversion of T4 to T3, etc. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 //I am wondering if anyone else is suffering from chills. // I had the chills for a while after dropping about 30 lbs. I just thought it was my body getting used to not having an extra 30lbs of insulation. I get cold so much faster then I used to. I thought I was one of those people who just loved the cold. I guess I was just fat and hot. Of course you may be getting sick, who knows. I would say if in a couple of weeks, you are not sick but still getting cold quickly; you are probably adjusting to the new you. You know, you have lost a whopping 42 lbs in the last month. You're doing great! 7/18/05 280/180/140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that chills and shivering could be a sign your immune system is trying hard to heal since temperature will fluctuate until it is stabilized. Also it could be re-tracing symptoms.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 When I first went on Xolair in 2005 I had United Health Care. The plan we had, had NO deductible and my script was only $20 per month!!!! I was ( still am) getting  two injections every two weeks.   footnote: I now have BC/BC didn't have any problems getting approval for the Xolair with that change over. Now I have a $3,000 deductible,which applies to my medical part of my health insurance. BUT after that had been met BC/BS covered it at 100% From: janagossett <janagossett@...> Subject: [ ] Chills Date: Friday, August 1, 2008, 8:33 PM I take 2 shots every 2 weeks and have had 5 treatments.

(ee is Bestbuy) My Xolair shot is totally covered as is the med. I pay a $25 copay for my monthly Xolair visit with my Doctor. Hopefullly this will be the same for you. Your sinus infection could be completely unrelated. Especially if you might have gotten it from your dental implant. ^Talk to your doctor about it and keep track things. Like do you normally get sinus infections etc.... Oh by the way my shot is 2 shots monthly.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi, Laurel,  Yes, I, too, get chills after being affected with emfs. It is an adrenal/autonomic nervous system reaction. (And I have constant ringing in my ears.) Pantethine and calcium AEP, as well as a vit D 3 supplement might help you. It does me. Esp the D supplement helps with the chills. It must be a " solar " type D vitamin (more like natural vit D)--they are expensive to get one that works. Mine is from Carlson Labs.  Good luck, dear.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi, Laurel,  I do not tolerate most forms of calcium, either, but the calcium AEP works for me. Pantethine is B5 in an easier to assimilate form. The calcium AEP + pantethine helps my ES alot and I travel with these for when I have major magnetic reactions, as the reactions involve blood pressure plummeting and taking these 2 supplements with 12 or so ounces of water will stabilize my bp. I sometimes have to take them 2 or 3 times (20 to 30 mins apart) for my bp to return to normal, but I truly could not make it without these two supplements.  Notice that the bp is also an autonomic nervous system/adrenal connected problem. I also have breathing problems and heart rate changes (also auto nerv system/adrenal connected) from magnetic frequencies.  I know the calcium AEP might not work for you, but I highly recommend it for anyone who can tolerate it. I, too, reacted badly to this product at first. I had to get empty capsules, put miniscule amounts of the cal AEP in them, and build up the amount over time. (And I still had some reactions.) For one thing, cal AEP also kills off candida--which is how I started taking it in the first place--so it can pack a wallop for several different reasons when you first take it. I am not trying to twist your arm on this. If you read this and still feel the cal AEP is not going to be tolerable, don't take it. I am only trying to explain how these work for similar autonomic problems incase you also have those and might tolerate it. I often find people who think they do not tolerate supplements. But on closer questioning, I have noticed alot of people who say they do not tolerate them often are not using them correctly--either not using the correct form for their particular need or using too much and getting an intolerable reaction (or too little and seeing no help at all). Even changing formulations or brands can make a difference. So there are those who truly do not tolerate various supplements and people who have not found the particular supplement they can tolerate!  Does this make sense to you? I do not tolerate ANY iron supplements for instance, where iron is the only ingredient. I can take Buffalo Liver supplements, where iron is high but it is mixed with other components of liver. I also must take these with vit C....  Walking outside in the sun helps the best, re vit D (we just don't have much of that in Pa in the middle of winter). This helps me to recover from ES stress, in general, but can help with all the auto nervous system symptoms too. (Of course you will want to find a place near water or away from all cell/microwave towers, etc, which can be fairly difficult to find these days.) If you can find a dry place to sit (on the ground) where you do not vibrate or feel uncomfortable, sitting there for 20 or 30 mins, you will feel the stress and ES drain out of you, too. Electrolytes also need addressed tho, for me personally (for the adrenal/autonomic symptoms).  Hope this is helpful, Diane  From: laurel canyon <laurelarc (DOT) com> Subject: Chills groups (DOT) com Date: Sunday, December 21, 2008, 8:18 PM I have been spending WAY too long in front of (friend's) computer.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 HI Diane,  Thank you for your detailed response. I will look into AEP calcium. I also get heart rate fluctuations and breathing problems at times. Sometimes it just comes on and the source is not always easy to figure out. The other night, when the small electric heater came on while I was sitting at this computer, started my heart pounding hard and fast. I have noticed that I do not tolerate this computer(here at my friend's house) when my friend's small TV is playing upstairs or the small electric heater downstairs here is running. I usually start to burn and sting. But the other night, it affected my heart. Perhaps some other strange symptoms is also about the autonomic nervous system. The symptom is too bizarre to explain.  I do not tolerate certain supplements, while others I do tolerate. I have been dealing with reactions to just about anything you can imagine, for years. The intolerance to minerals is a different kind of reaction than a chemical sensitivity type of reaction. The minerals seem to draw in electricity into my body.. just as iron does in other people. I find that if it is a MCS reaction, the amount of substance does not change the reaction. However, this type of reaction to minerals is not a MCS type of reaction.  I did try molybdenum last night. I only took a bit out of a capsule. The supplement only had one other ingredient, so it was not as risky to take. I did do ok. I also took one drop of magnesium chloride. I do notice my arms stinging right now being on the computer. I always forget to time myself and end of spending much too long on it.  I am in NY State, so I understand about not getting enough sun in the winter. Since becoming EHS, I have noticed that I do not tolerate the sun either(at least this past summer I did not).  I did not get on the computer yesterday at all, nor the day before and I noticed I am much warmer. But as I type I notice that I am getting colder the longer I am sitting here. There is so much EMF in this corner where the computer sits.   Laurel   From: laurel canyon <laurelarc (DOT) com> Subject: Chills groups (DOT) com Date: Sunday, December 21, 2008, 8:18 PM I have been spending WAY too long in front of (friend's) computer.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009  Diane  This is another great post of yours. I am about to start taking some vitamin D3 supplements, since they seem to be beneficial for so many things, not least immune function, and last week I was mulling over and doing my electrosensitive " review of the year " nad the only time I felt any way well and able to function with only limited ES feelings was during May this year when we had a 4 week very hot spell, which in fact as it turned out was acutally our summer [summer in the UK didn't happen for most this year due to very heavy rainfall]. And before that, I last felt well when I went on holiday for a week by the sea and after your post I'm thinking that it must have been the vitamin D on both occasions. I know that sunshine is better than tablets, but hopefully tablets are better than nothing at all, so I'm hoping the Vitamin D3 can do something for me.  Best wishes  Steph From: laurel canyon <laurelarc (DOT) com> Subject: Chills groups (DOT) com Date: Sunday, December 21, 2008, 8:18 PM I have been spending WAY too long in front of (friend's) computer.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi again, Steph,  Calcium AEP has amino ethanol phosphate added to it. I am sending a site which explains abit about it and the site where I order it. There are other companies which sell this, but this is the one I use. Byron s is the nutritionist I mentioned in another post who worked with me via phone calls.  He was much help and I repay him by buying his Cal AEP.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2AEP  http://www.wellnessresources.com/products/calcium_aep.php  You can google Calcium AEP and find all sorts of problems which people report this nutrient is good for. I personally think it is the best form of calcium for lymphatic, adrenal, auto-immune..... problems. I could not take most other forms of calcium at all.  Hope this helps you, Diane From: laurel canyon <laurelarc (DOT) com> Subject: Chills groups (DOT) com Date: Sunday, December 21, 2008, 8:18 PM I have been spending WAY too long in front of (friend's) computer.

I've not found any noticeable benefit to taking D3, but perhaps I'm not taking enough. Although when I tried taking 3000 IU, I got cloudy urine (???) But I do feel in the summertime, so there certainly may be something good about Vitamin D obtained via the sun (or maybe it's just the heat and humidity) Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Since this is all new and not quite confirmed I have been reading tons of material and seem to remember something about the chills. I know when I was having a really bad painful time I was getting a slight wave of chills off and on. I am better right now but I noticed having the chills yesteray once or twice and then twice today. I would say a light wave of chills, nothing like you get when you are sick with the flu or something. Anyone else know anything about this.
