Hi, I just woke up in a rather odd state. I went to bed and I was feeling a bit cold, but about an hour ago I woke up violently shivering like I have never done before. I had dreamed I was drowning but I wasn t afraid. I jerked when I awoke and started shivering so bad it startled my dog. I fell back to sleep after a few minutes and woke up again burning up. I got out a thermometer and I do have a fever, but something like this has never happened. Now my throat feels like it s on fire, I m burning up, and my urine is so hot it was uncomfortable to pee.
Some infections can start acutely with cold chills and shivering. Later a fever then develops. Often an infection starting like that is bacterial rather than viral, and sometimes pretty significant. Burning urine could actually be due to a bladder or kidney infection. If it is in the kidney, that can often start suddenly with chills and fever. You might also have strep throat, which can also start like this. Best to get checked right away for these possibilities. Then a definite diagnosis can be made, and appropriate treatment started before it gets any worse. Hope this helps.
