Well.....I went to Mexico when I was 19. More of an adventure for me than for some as I had never left Australia before. I bought a car in Tucson (a V8 Oldsmobile) & drove all-the-way-around the coast over 6 months.
I had constant low-grade food poisoning the whole time. Pardon me but I used to burp "sulfur"...!
In those days I wasn't taking ANY drugs at all.
One night in a hotel somewhere in Chiapas I got really bad night sweats. In the morning I was tired but otherwise fine. This went on for a few days.
When I got back home to Oz-teralia some months later I used to still get night sweats 3 or 4 times a year for the next few years. My doctor thought I must have got some weird virus but we never investigated further & after a few more years I never had it again. It's been about 20 years now & I've never had it once since. Strange.
So.....what I am saying is maybe there's a bacterial or viral cause for your shivering? I'm pretty convinced mine was. Worth ruling out maybe?
Best Of Luck :)
