What Causes Shivers All Over The Body?
Is there a medical name for the sudden full-body shivers people get sometimes? The adage when you get them is that someone walked over your grave . It usually starts in the lower spine and works it s way up your body, and I haven t been able to find a term for it. I was wondering if you knew.
