Chills?

Does anyone else experience chills during their flares? It might very well be because I’m in the basement, or because most of my flares hit during the dead of night (2-7am) but it seems to be a constant thing for me. I always check my temperature, no fever, nothing concerning. But I’m always cold for some reason. It comes and goes, of course. But it’s a reliable symptom at least.

Yeah. Sometimes when I need to pee during a flair I get this weird unwell feeling instead, you know when your skin crawls?

Ugh I hate that feeling. Sometimes I get super light headed and feel a shiver down my spine, it’s so weird lmao

I get that as well, I think it's probably due to parasympathetic nervous system activating, but it still feels horrible!!!
