I wonder what the problem could be that my mom would get shakes (no fever)??? Yesterday her insulin was low so they (hospital staff) gave her an injection. Today her potassium was low so they gave her 3 tablets. Anyone have any experience with this? She has no fever right now so we don't think it's associated to that. We will ask her Dr. when he comes in today.
Jamie,
I've mentioned this to you previously, but because of all the other issues I'm sure you may have forgetten.
You don't need a fever to have body chills...
BODY CHILLS ARE NOT GOOD...IT'S A SERIOUS INFECTION AND MOST OF THE TIME IV ANTIBIOTICS ARE THE ONLY SOLUTION.
It sounds like your mon has not made it to the Mayo Clinic yet.
That's also too bad...
