What Causes Chills With Severe Joint Pain Post Flight Journey?
I traveled by plane today at my boarding I had a sudden onset of teeth chatering full body chills with severe joint pain and the shakes I was covered with a blanket and had severe muscle spasms a tightness I couldn t relax. When I got off the plane an hour later I asked for med assistance. The airline called paramedics. I have Ulcerative Colitis and Reumatiod arthritis. I could hardly walk due to the hip pain. They checked me and thought I might have Lyme. I am better now a bit sore but it lasted for almost 4 hours. I did have a raised bump on my shoulder it did not appear to be a tick
