Last night i was reading in bed when all of a sudden i got very cold. So cold I couldnt finish the paragraph, I had to put the book down and get under the covers for warmth. I started shivering and curled up in fetal position and covered my head with the blankets but still couldnt get warm. The shivering turned into violent shaking and uncontrolable teeth chattering. I had to call my BF to come help me. I put a pillow in my mouth to help with the chattering, it was so hard that my jaw was hurting. My body was quaking and convulsing and i just felt so cold. My BF brought a heating pad, an extra blanket and snuggled me until the shaking past, probably about 20 minutes. This morning all of my muscles, especially my neck, arms and back are very sore. I also have a headache. It feels like I was beaten up.

About 3 hrs prior i had grilled chicken for dinner. I wasn't quite full and decided to try some of my guy's Flat Out quesadilla. I had 2 tiny bites. I am 5 weeks out, that was my first time trying bread post-op. I also took an Iron chewable.

An hour before bed I had a glass of Water with Miralax. Right before bed I took my PPI. 40 min later the convulsing starts.

What caused this. Was it the bread? The miixture of medicines? I woke up to acid pain in the night but didn't have any diarrhea, cramping or intestinal pain.

If this was late dumping, can I expect that I will always react that way to bread? Should I try again later out? It was very painful and frightening for my boyfriend and I.

Any advice / info is appreciated.

Any updates from your PCP?

I had this three times in the two days after my last c-section. It was terrifying! For me it ended up being because of blood loss. I felt much better after a transfusion.

One of the things I was told one my 1st appointment about the sleeve was that I will always feel a little cold and several of the ladies I work with ate always cold. Now that I've had the procedure I am always in pants long sleeves and a couple of blankets, and an electric blanket( my ac is set at 85 and I live in Texas), but I've never heard of symptoms like yours. I hope nothing is truly wrong

Still not sure what This was. Dr said the mix of medications was unlikely to cause this reaction but couldn't rule it out. Luckily, it hasn't happened since!

Maybe your guardian angel was hovering helping you to heal..

_{Very happy to hear that they didn't find anything serious wrong with you!!!!}

The same thing happened to me the day after one my drains "fell out". (They were in for five weeks and the sutures tore).

My doc said that the shivering was actually the sign of an infection that he thinks occurred when the drain came out. Maybe something went "in" before the hole sealed up. He said that sometimes these infections are severe but rapid, they last a day at most.

Hey ... have you had a flu shot?

The same thing happened to me after I had my son almost 11 years ago. Days of extreme shivering, teeth chattering and could not get warm for anything. I drank so much hot tea I should have stock in Lipton. Tried 2 different antibiotics t which didn't work and wound up going to the ER on Christmas eve. Turns out I had pneumonia and needed IV antibiotics. So I agree with amw157 about a possible infection. Glad you are ok now!!
