"Shivering is a reflex which occurs when someone feels cold and, physiologically, it serves to raise body temperature. The trigger point at which this reflex occurs is set in the anterior hypothalamus."

Rigors are also a predictor of bacterial infection. Has your doctor ruled out any type of "silent" infection like a UTI? Sometimes there are no symptoms.
