They is something call Reynaud's Syndrome.  Basically it is poor circulation in people and when they get cold that happens.  Check with your doctor.

IT could be an infection of some type. There are also diseases that cause fevers, such as lupus. Also it could be the heat. I know in the summer time I run a low grade fever, it's pretty normal for me. I did talk to a doctor about it. \n\nSeeing a doctor is advisable. ;0)

Hi.  You may have something known as raynaud's phenomena.  I have this and I can never stay warm either.

I wouldn't think so, you should be clean/comfy while you are recovering from fever.\nbeing wet does lower your temperature. \nhope you get well.

Because the water conucts the heat away from your body very well and thus lowers your body temperature

Two popular theories atm...\n\nFirstly, Researchers have discovered that high blood glucose levels, similar to those after eating a big meal, can switch off the brain cells that normally keep us awake and alert. \n\nAlso, when you eat, lots of blood travels to the intestinal area to carry nutrients around the body. This is known as shunting. When this occurs, your brain is getting less oxygen. \n\nThe first theory is the more credible, with the second theory being the best applied to why you feel cold after eating (less blood to extremities).

Your body is releasing excess heat as a way to regulate body temperature. Skin in any area can become hot to the touch and red as a means to do this, but it's very common on the face and ears. You don't necessarily have a fever, but your body is constantly trying to maintain its normal body temperature.

you really need to go to the ER asap. the high temperature can cause you serious problems if you dont get it down. since it went away and then came back it shows that it is still in your system,you need antibotics seriously. you dont wanna harm your body.

Probably because we're cold after and then when we're cold, our bodies heat us up as much as they can. Or maybe it's because when we're cold, our bodies can take in more germs??

This normally happens when you have a fever or you have general malaise.  sometimes you are not aware that your body is reacting to something bad.   This is normally related to diseases like malaria. See a doctor if symptoms persist.

human's body temperature is 37 degrees celsius. below it you feel cold and above it you feel hot. Usually if you're above 37 you have a fever, but they asked if you have a fever then why you chill. Simply because the inner body temperature is above 37 and the outside body temperaute (which is usually the skin)below the inner body heat. So that's the reason why we chill.

Okay: it's simple. Your blood chills when you suddenly get cold, right? Well, you get cold whenever your body temperature drops. Your body temperature drops during certain emotional activity in your brain. One emotion: fright. There you go! Or, i could answer like a complete jackass by saying a ghost is trying to possess you, but I'm not going to.   :)

It is normal for people with fevers to become tired and sleep a lot. The fever is a result of her body trying to fight off the virus, and that takes up a lot of energy. Because it is a virus, there's nothing you can do but wait it out anyway, so just let it run its course. It may take about a week or so; usually symptoms subside in approximately 7 days.

old wives tale. hate it when people say "don't go out! you're going to get sick!" many times i've gone out of the house on a cold weather, with my hair wet. with temperatures ranging from 10 to 5 degrees farenheit, within a matter of seconds my hair turns to ice. -- but i didn't get sick.\n\ntrue, you can get "colds" -- where in your airways produce more secretions -- because it is our body's way of "humidfying" the airway because the air is usually dry on a cold weather. \n\nmain reasons why you get sick (Fever we're talking here) \nit could be viral... but mostly it's bacterial infection\n\nwhy do we get fevers? bacteria loves body temperature. when your body senses infection, your temperature rises -- this is your body's attempt to kill the bacteria. (they die in hotter temperatures). fever though, has a side effect on our body -- an increase in temperature may not be tolerable to our other organs, like our brain -- so that's why doctors came up with anti-biotics -- these kill the bacteria without. most common misconception about anti-biotics is that they "bring your fever down" it does not... it kills the bacteria, that's why your fever goes down.

yeah, it's your body using it's energy to digest the food instead of keeping you at a steady temperature.  espeically happens after i eat a lot.
